  • [ $2{\beta},\;3{\alpha}$ ], 23-trihydroxyrus-12-ene-28-oic acid was isolated from Trapa pseudoincisa S. et Z. It has a common structure of pentacyclic triterpenes and belongs to the amyrin ursolic acid group. The cytotoxic effect of this compound was investigated in human hepatoma cell line HepG2. $2{\beta},\;3{\alpha}$, 23-trihydroxyrus-12-ene-28-oic acid showed dose-dependent cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells. Confocal microscopy data showed that green fluorescence was increased in $2{\beta},\;3{\alpha}$, 23-trihydroxyrus-12-ene-28-oic acid treated-HepG2 cells in a time-dependent manner. $2{\beta},\;3{\alpha}$, 23-trihydroxyrus-12-ene-28-oic acid also increased the sub-G1 cell population of HepG2 cells as well as ladder-like DNA fragmentation. Taken together, our results indicate that $2{\beta},\;3{\alpha}$, 23-trihydroxyrus-12-ene-28-oic acid induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells.

  • Friedel-Crafts reaction isopropoxybenzene with methyl $\alpha$-chloro-$\alpha$-(maethylthio)acetate 1 afforded methyl $\alpha$-methylthio-p-isopropoxyphenylacetate 2d, which was readily converted into methyl p-isopropoxyphenylacetate 3 by reductive desulfurization with zinc dust in acetic acid. Methylation of 3 with sodium hydride and methyl iodide gave methyl $\alpha$-(p-isopropoxyphenyl)propionate 5. Methyl p-hydroxyphenylakanoates (4,6), useful intermediates for some medicines, were easily prepared by treatment of 3 and 5 with titanium tetrachloride, respectively.

  • (Z)-ocimene+limonene, $(E)-{\beta}-ocimene$ and citronellal showed seasonal variation in the leaves of Z. schinifolium. Especially estragole was detected at fruiting stage regardless of collection sites. Common variation components in the leaves of Z. piperitum at all collection sites were (Z)-3-hexenol, ${\alpha}-pinene$, limonene and citronellal. The compositions with monthly variation in Z. schinifolium at arboretum were ${\alpha}-pinene$, myrcene, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, ${\alpha}-phellandrene$, (Z)-ocimene+limonene, ${\beta}-phellandrene$, linalool, geranyl acetate while in Z. piperitum were hexanal, (Z)-3-hexenol, (E)-2-hexenal, hexanol, ${\alpha}-pinene$, (Z)-ocimene, limonene, citronellal, geranyl acetate, ${\beta}-caryophyllene$. Estragole was not detected in Z. schinifolium leaves at arboretum due to too young tree to bearing fruit on it.

  • This study carried out to change ${\alpha}-amylase$ activity and isozymes in barley during germination in the dark and red light. The specific activity of ${\alpha}-amylase$ increased during the germination in the dark, giving 355.0 and 523.7 units/mg protein at 3 and 5 days, and the activity was increased by the red light up to 48 and 15% at 3 and 5 days of germination, respectively. The ratio of ${\alpha}-amylase$ I and II was approximately 95 : 5 at both 3 and 5 days of germination in the dark while the different ratio was found by the red light i.e. 60 : 40 and 90 : 10 at 3 and 5 days of germination, respectively.

  • Pure and Sn or Pt doped $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ thin films were prepared on $Al_2O_3$ substrates by RF-magnetron sputtering method and the sensitivities were compared. It was found that pure $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ thin films did not exhibit much selectivity in CO and $i-C_4H_{10}$ gases while it showed the high sensitivity in proportion to the gas concentration of $C_2H_{5}OH$ gas. Pt-doped $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ showed to be alike sensing properties as pure $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ thin film in $C_2H_{5}OH$ gas. However, Sn-doped $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ thin films exhibited the excellent sensitivity and selectivity in Hz gas. After microstructure modification by plasma etching on pure $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ thin films, the gas sensing characteristics were dramatically changed.

  • Taxifolin-3-O-$\beta$-D-xylopyranoside and quercetin-3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranoside were isolated from an EtOAc-soluble extract of the leaves of Chamaecyparis obtuse. Quercetin-3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranoside was found to possess a potent inhibitory activity of human recombinant aldose reductase in vitro, its $IC_{50}$ value being $11.5\;{\mu}M$. Kinetic analysis showed that quercetin-3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranoside exhibited uncompetitive inhibition against DL-glyceraldehyde. Also, quercetin-3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranoside suppresses sorbitol accumulation in rat lens under high glucose conditions, demonstrating the potential to prevent sorbitol accumulation in vivo. These results suggest that this compound may be a promising agent in the prevention or treatment of diabetic complications.

  • In this study, oocyte steroidogenesis are investigated in relation to oocyte development in the starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus, a marine multiple spawner. Vitellogenic (0.52 and 0.55 mm oocyte diameter) and mature oocytes (0.63, 0.66 and 0.71 mm oocyte diameter) were incubated in vitro in the presence of $[^3H]17{\alpha}$-hydroxyprogesterone ($[^3H]17{\alpha}$-OHP) as a precursor. Steroid metabolites were extracted from the incubated media and oocytes, the extracts were separated and identified by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS). The major metabolites produced from $[^3H]17{\alpha}$-OHP were androgens [androstenedione ($A_4$) and testosterone (T)] and estrogens [$17{\beta}$-estradiol ($E_2$) and estrone ($E_1$)] and progestins [$17{\alpha},20{\alpha}$-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one ($17{\alpha}20{\alpha}P$) and $17{\alpha},20{\beta}$-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one ($17{\alpha}20{\beta}P$)] in vitellogenic and mature oocytes. The results from this study suggest the potential roles of $E_1$ in the oocytes with diameter 0.52-0.71 mm, $17{\alpha}20{\alpha}P$ and $17{\alpha}20{\beta}P$ at the oocytes of 0.63, 0.66 and 0.71 mm.

  • We suggest a statistical thermodynamic theory for the conformational transition of a synthetic alanine (Ala), ${\alpha}$-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) alternative oligopeptide, Buo-(Ala-Aib)$_n$-oMe, where the terminal groups Buo and oMe stand for t-butoxy and methoxy, respectively. Pure Aib homo-oligomers have always been found to adopt $3_{10}$ helical conformations, while polyalanine has always $\alpha$ helical conformation. In an organic solvent (e.g. $CD_3$CN) it shows that the length for the $3_{10}$/${\alpha}$ helix transitions of Buo-(Ala-Aib)$_n$-oMe, is 8 at room temperature. In an aqueous solution oligopeptide has always coil conformation at room temperature. In an organic solution, helical structures of the oligopeptide are more stable than coil structure, so we studied the $$3_{10}/\alpha$ helix transitions, considering coiled-conformations, coiled and $3_{10}$ helical conformations, and coiled and $\alpha$ helical conformations by using the zipper model. We determined the values of parameters ($\sigma_A$, $\sigma_T$, $\xi_A$, $\xi_T$) from the relating published data; $\sigma_A$ = 0.00011, $\sigma_T$ = 0.0060, $\xi_A$ = 10.1, $\xi_T$ = 3.90. The distributions of $\alpha$ helical length can be N-2, N-3, N-4, ${\cdots}$, 3, 2, 1 (N = 2n) while those of $3_{10}$ helical length, N-1, N-2, N-3, N-4, ${\cdots}$, 3, 2, 1.

  • The NAD(P)-linked $3{\alpha}-Hydroxysteroid$ $dehydrogenase(3{\alpha}-HSD)$ of rat liver cytosol is powerfully inhibited by the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in rank-order of their therapeutic potency, and this observation has now been developed into a rapid screen for predicting the potency of products that show anti-inflammatory effect. Five-plants were screened by using this method. Among them, BuOH-fraction of Mucuna birdwoodiana showed strong inhibitory effect on $3{\alpha}-HSD$, and three isoflavone compounds were isolated. Inhibitory activates of isolated compounds were compared.

  • Electrical properties of the $\alpha$-In$_2$Se$_3$ single crystals grown by use of the Bridgman technique were examined in the transition temperature range between $\alpha$-phase and $\beta$-phase. $\alpha$-In$_2$Se$_3$ single crystal has ' the rhombohedral structure and lattice constants are a=4.025 $\AA$, c=28.771 $\AA$ in c-axis. The transition temperatures of the stoichiometric $\alpha$-In$_2$Se$_3$ single crystal is 198.8$^{\circ}C$ according to the specimens. The temperature of $\alpha$longrightarrow$\beta$ phase transition decreased but the temperature of $\beta$longrightarrow$\alpha$ phase transition increased as the number of heating-cooling cycle increased.
