Gromwell colorants were extracted with methanol and dried. Four fractions were obtained by silica gel adsorption column chromatography using step-wise elution method. Relative ratio of four fraction is 1.00:0.07:0.22:0.30(Fl:F2:F3:F4) and gromwell colorants mainly consist of Fl, F3 and F4. IR analysis shows that each fraction has similar structure. Main component of gromwell extracts is acetyl derivative of naphthoquinone, and the rest are isobutyl derivative and isovaleryl derivative etc., in order. Gromwell colorants exhibit relatively good affinity to protein and polyamide fibers, but low affinity to cellulose and regenerated cellulose fibers.

Thirty-four glutathione conjugates of 5,8-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinones (DMNQ) were synthesized and their structure was determined. The yield of GSH conjugate was dependent on size of alkyl group; the longer the size of alkyl group was, the lower was the yield. It was also found that the length of alkyl side chain influenced the chemical shift of quinonoid protons; the quinonoid protons of 2-glutathionyl DMNQ derivatives with R=H to propyl, 6.51-6.59 ppm vs. other ones with R=butyl to heptyl, 6.64-6.68 ppm. this was explained to be due to a folding effect of longer alkyl group. Glutathione (GSH) reacted with DMNQ derivative first to form a 1,4-adduct (2- or 3-glutathionyl-1,4-dihydroxy-5,8-dimethoxynaphthalenes) and then the adduct was autooxidized to 2- or 3-glutathionyl-DMNQ derivatives. Moreover, GSH reduced DMNQ derivatives to their hydrogenated products. It was suggested that such an organic reaction might play an important role for a study of metabolism or toxicity of DMNQ derivative sin the living cells.

겨울철 한강과 낙동강에서 규조 Stephanodiscus hantzschii에 의한 조류발생이 빈번하게 일어나며, 이로 인한 수자원의 질적변화와 정수과정에 많은 경제적 손실을 주고 있다. 본 연구진은 조류대발생의 원인종인 S. hantzschii을 제어할 수 있는 naphthoquinone (Nq) 화합물을 개발하였다. 본 연구는 개발된 Nq 화합물 중 가장 친환경적인 화합물을 선정하기 위한 실험으로 물질의 살조범위 실험과 낙동강 현장수를 이용한 10 L 규모의 미소생태 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 Nq 4-6 화합물의 살조범위는 원반형 규조류에 특이적으로 나타났으며, 남조류 및 녹조류에 대해 살조 활성이 나타나지 않았다. 미소생태 실험 결과, 대조구에서 S. hantzschii가 지속적으로 세포밀도가 증가한 반면, Nq 4-6 화합물을 접종한 처리구에서는 처리 7일째 대조구 대비 S. hantzschii가 94.4% 감소하였으며, S. hantzschii를 제외한 나머지 규조류 및 녹조류에서는 Nq 4-6 화합물 처리 후 살조활성이 관찰되지 않았다. 식물플랑크톤 군집 분석 결과 대조구에 비해 처리구에서 우점도는 낮게 나타났으며, 다양도, 풍부도, 균등도 등은 처리구에서 높게 나타났다. 물리화학적요인 (용존산소, pH, 영양염) 및 미소생물 (heterotrophic nanoflagellates, 섬모충, 박테리아) 등에서도 Nq 4-6 화합물 처리 후 특이적인 변화는 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 Nq 4-6 화합물은 생태독성이 낮고, 겨울철 국내 하천에서 매년 대발생을 일으키는 규조 S. hantzschii만을 특이적으로 제어함을 확인하였으며, 적용 시 식물플랑크톤 종 다양성을 증진시키는 친환경적인 조류제어제로 판단된다.

An antimicrobial compound was isolated from the MeOH extract of Catalpa ovata G.$D_{ON}$ fruits, and its structure was Identified as 4,9-dihydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-3,4-Uihydronaphtho[2,3-b]pyran-5,10-dione (HMNP). The antimicrobial activity of the Un was determined by measuring the dose-response inhibiton of microbial growth in liquid cultures and then compared with that of lapachol, a well known antimicrobial 1,4-naphthoquinone. The antimicrobial activity of the HMNP was more effective than that of lapachol over a wide range of test organisms. Gram-positive bacteria, yeast, and fungi ($IC_{50}$ $20-75\muM$) were found to be more sensitive to the HMNP than Cram-negative bacteria ($IC_{50}$ > $100\muM$). The HMNP also inhibited germination of spores of many fungi. The morphological defurmation of the fungal spores was induced by the treatment of HMNP, as illustrated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).

Accumulated epidemiological and animal studies have suggested that prolonged exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and pulmonary dysfunction. While diesel exhaust particles (DEP) contain large variety of compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a dominant component contaminated in DEP. This article reviews effects of two PAH quinones, 9,10-phenanthraquinone (9,10-PQ) and l,2-naphthoquinone (l,2-NQ), on vascular and respiratory systems.

2- or 6-Substituted BZT-N derivatives were synthesized, and their cytotoxic activity against can-cer L1210 and SNU-1 cells was examined. The antitumor action was also assessed in mice bearing S-180 cells in peritoneal cavity. In a comparison, it was found that 6-substituted BZT-N derivatives exhibited higher potencies in both bioactivities than 2-substituted BZT-N derivatives against L1210 cells in in vitro and S-180 in vitro tests exception of compound 36. Interestingly, it was observed that 2-substituted compound 36, which has methyl group at RI position, exhib-ited a better antitumor activity than 6-substituted compounds against L1210 and SNU-1 in vitro. The EDso value of 2-substituted compound 36 against L1210 was found to be comparable to the EDso value of adriamycin and was even better against the solid cancer cell line SNU-1. It was also observed that 2-substituted compound 36 showed better antitumor activity in mice bearing S-180 cells in the peritoneal cavity. The T/C (％) value of 2-substituted compound 36 was simi-lar to that of adriamycin. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) tests reveal that the experimental E $D_{50}$ values against SNU-1 closely correlate with both the calculated HOMO ener-gies ( $E_{HOMO}$) and the measured H-NMR chemical shift of 3-H ($\delta$$_{H}$). The results suggests that a compound having higher $E_{HOMO}$ and $\delta$$_{H}$ values usually should have a lower E $D_{50}$ (SNU-1) value.lue.lue.lue.

우리나라에 자생하는 야생 식용식물자원 개발의 일환으로 예로부터 사용되어온 천연 착색료인 자근(紫根)(Lithospermum erythrorhizon)의 색소 연구를 시도하였다. 자근을 n-hexane으로 추출한 후 column chromatography하여 융점측정과 IR 및 $^{1}H-NMR$ 분석에 의하여 암자색(暗紫色)의 유상물질(油狀物質)인 isobutylshikonin과 적색침상결정(赤色針狀結晶)인 acetylshikonin을 분리 동정하였다. Acetylshikonin과 isobutylshikonin 색소를 pH별로 나누어 32일간 저장하면서 pH에 의한 영향을 조사한 결과 두 가지 색소 모두 pH3 과 5에서는 안정한 붉은색을 나타내었고 pH7에서도 붉은색을 나타내었으나 저장 0.5일부터 흡광도가 급격히 감소하여 중성 pH에서 이들 색소가 불안정함을 시사하였다. 또한 알칼리범위에서는 두 색소 모두 푸른색으로 발현되었으며 pH9부터 두가지 색소가 bathochromic shift를 일으켰고 pH 10에서는 최대흡수파장이 각각 518 nm 및 520 nm에서 588 nm로 이동되었으며 매우 불안정하였다. Acetylshikonin과 isobutylshikonin 두 색소간의 차이를 관능검사 하였을때 색깔의 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으며 기호도는 "good"(3점)으로 등급 지워졌다. 또한 두 가지 색소의 묘사분석 결과 Munsell system의 자홍(purplish red)계에 속하는 진달래색과 장미색으로 표현되었다. 따라서 acetylshikonin과 isobutylshikonin은 자홍계열에 속하는 색소이며 산성범위에서 가장 안정하므로 대부분의 음료 및 일반식품의 천연착색료로서의 가치가 있다고 사료된다.
