To investigate the acute toxicity of Elfvingia applanata$(P_{ers})K_{ARST}$, it was extracted with hot water. EA, the aqueous extract from the carpophores of E. applanata, was lyophilized and a dark brownish powder was obtained. The acute toxicity of EA was investigated in ICR mice of both sexes. Five groups of mice were administered orally and intraperitoneally with 375, 750, 1,500, 3,000, 6,000 mg/kg(p.o.) and 312.5, 625, 1,250, 2,500, 5,000 mg/kg (i.p.) of EA Abnormal clinical signs related to EA were not observed and no deaths occurred. $LD_{50}$ values administered orally and intraperitoneally were evaluated to be over 6,000 mg/kg and over 5,000 mg/kg, respectively. Gross finding of necropsy revealed no evidence of specific toxicity related to EA. There were no significant changes in body weights, serum biochemical values and histopathological changes compared with control group.

cis-Malonato[(4R,5R)-4,5-bis(aminomethyl)-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane]platinum(II)(SKI 2053R), an antitumor platinum complex, was selected for clinical evaluation on the basis of its experimental antitumor and toxicologic profiles in preclinical studies. These studies were performed to obtain information on its toxic signs, orgnas which are mainly affected, and to estimate its lethality in mice and rats given SKI 2053R through two routes of administration. In male and female rats given a single intragastrical dose of SKI 2053R, we estimated that $LD_{50}$ values were over 3.00g/kg, respectively. In male and female mice given a signle intragastrical dose of SKI 2053R, we estimated that $LD_{50}$ values were 2.44g/kg and 1.59g/kg, respectively, In a single intraperitoneal dose of SKI 2053R, we determined that $LD_{50}$ values of male and female rats were 227mg/kg and 182mg/kg, and those of male and female mice were 198mg/kg and 207mg/kg, respectively. In gross and histopathological examinations on dead animals, we found that kidney and liver were mainly affected.

The object of this study is to investigate the toxicity of fenvalerate [(RS)-$\alpha$-cyano-3 -phonoxybenzyl-(RS)-2-(4-ch1orophenyl)-3-methylbutyrate] and the effect of carbaryl on the toxicity of fenvalerate. Rats were treated with fenvalerate (50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg), carbaryl (50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg) or mixtures of the two compounds (fenvalerate+carbaryl: 50 mg/kg+50 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg+100 mg/kg) by oral administration for 1~3 weeks. Control groups were treated with corn oil. The experimental results were summarized as follows. 1. LD$_{50}$ values of fenvalerate and carbaryl in male rats were 385 mg/kg and 625 mg/kg respectively. When 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg of carbaryl were administratrd, LD$_{50}$values of fenvalerate were 265 mg/kg and 225 mg/kg respectively. 2. Biochemical parameters such as ALT, LDH and glucose in serum were much more increased in the groups treated with mixture than the groups treated with either one of fenvalerate or carbaryl. 3. The groups treated with carbaryl and mixture for 3 weeks, the contents of cytochrome P-450 in the liver were significantly increased. In renal microsomal fractions, however, no significant changes of drug metabolizing enzyme activities were observed. 4. The activities of aniline hydroxylase in hepatic microsomal fractions were increased in the groups treated with fenvalerate and mixture and activity was much more increased in the groups treated with mixture. 5. The activities of ATPase in the groups treated with fenvalerate were decreased than that of groups treated with mixture. TBA values and the activity of glucose-6 -phosphatase in the liver were not significantly changed. 6. In mixture treated groups, the activities of cholinesterase in serum and in the liver were more decreased than those of carbaryl treated groups. The activities of carboxylesterase in serum in the liver were slightly increased in mixture treated groups, but in fenvalerate treated groups, the activities of carboxylesterase were much more increased than those of control groups. 7. As a result of this study, when carbaryl was as the synergist of fenvalerate, carbaryl inhibited the activities of esterases, so the toxicity of fenvalerate was increased.sed.

Quantitative strucrure-activity relationships between the toxicity (LD$\_$50/) and molecular properties of amine and nitro compounds were tested. The all 19 compounds showed low correlations below 0.500 to their LD$\_$50/ values. When amine or nitro compounds were taken separately, the correlation between the calculated chemphysico parameters and LD$\_$50/ were also poor (r$^2$=0.4911, 3967 repectively). The overall relationships among the QSAR parameters were investigated. Molecular weight shows a high correlation with total surface area (r$^2$=0.9287); 0.9090 for zero-order connectivity and second-order connectivity : 0.8784 for bioconcentration factor and second-order connectivity. When amine compounds were taken to perform the statistical treatment, the relationships between parameters were as follows: 0.8436 for volume-negentropy; 0.8925 for volume-bioconcentration factor; 0.9929 for zero-order connectivity-Kow; zero-order connectivity-bioconcentration factor; 0.9141 for zero-order connectivity-solubility; 0.9718 for solubility-bioconcentration factor; 0.9894 for solubility-bioconcentration factor and 0.9319 for Kow-bioconcentration factor. On the other hand, nitro compounds showed different relationships as follows: 0.8952 for volume-I/O character; 0.9520 for volume-total surface area: 0.9351 for volume-molecular weight; 0.9351 for volume-MW; 0.9961 for Kow-Koc; 0.8455 for Kow-bioconcentration factor; 0.8879 for Koc-bioconcentration factor; 0.9987 for MW-total surface area respectively.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to investigate the classification system of chemical substances in the Occupational Safety and Health Act(OSHA) and Chemical Substances Control Act(CSCA) and to compare several health indices (i.e., Time Weighted Average (TWA), Lethal Dose ($LD_{50}$), and Lethal Concentration ($LC_{50}$) of chemical substances by categories in each law. Methods: The chemicals regulated by each law were classified by the specific categories provided in the respective law; seven categories for OSHA (chemicals with OELs, chemicals prohibited from manufacturing, etc., chemicals requiring approval, chemicals kept below permissible limits, chemicals requiring workplace monitoring, chemicals requiring special management, and chemicals requiring special heath diagnosis) and five categories from the CSCA(poisonous substances, permitted substances, restricted substances, prohibited substances, and substances requiring preparation for accidents). Information on physicochemical properties, health indices including CMR characteristics, $LD_{50}$ and $LD_{50}$ were searched from the homepages of the Korean Occupational and Safety Agency and the National Institute of Environmental Research, etc. Statistical analysis was conducted for comparison between TWA and health index for each category. Results: The number of chemicals based on CAS numbers was different from the numbers of series of chemicals listed in each law because of repeat listings due to different names (e.g., glycol monoethylether vs. 2-ethoxy ethanol) and grouping of different chemicals under the same serial number(i.e., five different benzidine-related chemicals were categorized under one serial number(06-4-13) as prohibited substances under the CSCA). A total of 722 chemicals and 995 chemicals were listed at the OSHA and its sub-regulations and CSCA and its sub-regulations, respectively. Among these, 36.8% based on OSHA chemicals and 26.7% based on CSCA chemicals were regulated simultaneously through both laws. The correlation coefficients between TWA and $LC_{50}$ and between TWA and $LD_{50}$, were 0.641 and 0.506, respectively. The geometric mean values of TWA calculated by each category in both laws have no tendency according to category. The patterns of cumulative graph for TWA, $LD_{50}$, $LC_{50}$ were similar to the chemicals regulated by OHSA and CCSA, but their median values were lower for CCSA regulated chemicals than OSHA regulated chemicals. The GM of carcinogenic chemicals under the OSHA was significantly lower than non-CMR chemicals($2.21mg/m^3$ vs $5.69mg/m^3$, p=0.006), while there was no significant difference in CSCA chemicals($0.85mg/m^3$ vs $1.04mg/m^3$, p=0.448). $LC_{50}$ showed no significant difference between carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxic chemicals and non-CMR chemicals in both laws' regulated chemicals, while there was a difference between carcinogens and non-CMR chemicals in $LD_{50}$ of the CSCA. Conclusions: This study found that there was no specific tendency or significant difference in health indicessuch TWA, $LD_{50}$ and $LC_{50}$ in subcategories of chemicals as classified by the Ministry of Labor and Employment and the Ministry of Environment. Considering the background and the purpose of each law, collaboration for harmonization in chemical categorizing and regulation is necessary.

애멸구의 발생이 심한 남부지방 몇 개 지역을 대상으로 Malathion과 NAC(Sevin)에 대한 애멸구의 감수성차이를 미량국소처리법(Arnold microapplicator 사용)에 의한 검정을 실시하여 아래와 같은 결과를 얻었다. 실내감수성계통에 비하여 공시된 각지역계통의 애멸구들은 Malathion에 대하여 감수성이 크게 낮았으나 NAC에 대해서는 실내계통과 지역계통간에 감수성차이가 없었다. 실내계통에 대한 지역계통의 저항성차이는 Malathion에 대하여 진주계통은 암컷에서 27.7배, 숫컷에서 24.9배, 선산계통은 암컷에서 18.4배, 숫컷에서 13.8배이었으나 밀양, 광주, 이리계통은 암수 모두 3-4배 정도에 불과하였다. Malathion에 대하여 27.7배의 저항성을 보였던 진주계통도 NAC에 대해서는 감수성에 차이가 없었다. 즉 유기인계 살충제 Malathion 저항성 해충에 대하여 Carbamate계 살충제 NAC는 비교채저항성반응을 보인다. 애멸구 성충 일두당 $LD_{50}$은 공시계통 대부분 숫컷에 비하여 암컷에서 높은 수치를 보였으나 체중당 $LD_{50}$은 반대로 공시계통 모두 암컷에 비하여 숫컷에서 높은 수치를 나태는 등 애멸구 암수에 따라 약제에 대한 감수성차이도 관찰할 수 있었다.
