In this study, some new nitroimidazole derivatives were obtained from 2-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethylamine dihydrochloride (4) and 1-(2-bromoethyl)-2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (5), which were prepared using metronidazole. Compound 4 was reacted with arylisothiocyanates (6) to obtain 1-[2-(2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol-1-yl)ethyl]-3-arylthioureas (7) and the latter with $\alpha$-bromoacetophenones (8) to give -3-[2-(2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol-1-yl)ethyl]-2-arylimino-4-aryl-4-thiazolines (9). Also 1-[2-(2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol-1-yl)ethyl]-2-phenyl-4-arylideneimidazolin-5-ones (11) were prepared by reaction of 4 with 2-phenyl-4-arylidene-5-oxazolones (10). The reaction of the other starting material 5 with 5-arylidenethiazolidin-2,4-dione (12) gave 3-[2-(2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol-1-yl)ethyl]-5-arylidenethiazolidin-2,4-dione (13) derivatives. Structural elucidation of the compounds was performed by IR, $^1H-NMR$ and MASS spectroscopic data and elemental analysis results. Antimicrobial activities of the compounds were examined and moderate activity was obtained.

Rhizopus nigricans에 의한 progesterone의 $11{\alpha}-hydroxylation$과 ${5\alpha}-reduction$반응에 미치는 이온의 효과를 조사하였다. $Cu^{2+},\;Cd^{2+},\;Co^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Mg^{2+},\;Fe^{3+}$ 및 $Na^+$은 $11{\alpha}-hydroxylation$ 반응의 활성을 저하시켰으나 $K^+$은 이 반응을 촉진시켰다. $11{\alpha}-hydroxyprogesterone$을 $5{\alpha}-reduction$시키는 효소는 $Fe^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Mg^{2+},\;Co^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;K^+,\;Na^+$에 의하여 그 활성이 증가되었고 $Cd^{2+}$과 $Cu^{2+}$은 이 반응을 억제하였다. $11{\alpha}-hydroxylation$ 반응을 촉진하는데는 $10^{-3}\;M$의 $K^+$이 효과적이었으며 $5{\alpha}-reduction$반응을 엑제하기 위하여는 $10^{-4}\;M$의 $Cd^{2+}$이 적합하였다. R. nigricans는 세포내의 다효소체계에 의하여 progesterone이 $11\{alpha}-hydroxyprogesterone$으로 전환된 후 $11{\alpha}-hydroxy-allopregnane-3, 20-dione으로 $5{\alpha}-reduction$되므로 $10^{-3}\;M$의 $K^+$을 먼저 첨가하여 2시간 동안 progesterone 전환 반응을 실시한 후에 $10^{-4}\;M$의 $Cd^{2+}$을 첨가하였을 때 가장 높은 $11\{alpha}-hydroxyprogesterone$의 수득률을 얻을 수 있었다.

Cedrus deodara (Pinaceae) has been used traditionally in Ayurveda for the treatment of central nervous system disorders. 3,4-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)furan-2,5-dione (BDFD) was isolated from heart wood of Cedrus deodara and was shown to have antiepileptic and anxiolytic activity. Thus, the present study was aimed to explore its anti-depressant effect and to correlate the effect with serotonin and nor adrenaline levels of brain. Albino mice were used as experimental animal. Animals were divided in to three groups; vehicle control, imipramine (30 mg/kg i.p.), BDFD (100 mg/kg i.p.). Tail suspension test (TST) and forced swim test (FST) was performed to evaluate antidepressant effect of BDFD. BDFD (100 mg/kg, i.p.) showed a significant decrease in immobility time when subjected to FST whereas immobility time was not significantly altered in TST. BDFD treatment increased serotonin and noradrenaline levels in the brain which is indicative of BDFD having possible atypical antidepressant action.

A new series of metal complexes of V(IV), Pd(II), Pt(IV), Ce(IV) and U(VI) with 3-[(3-chlorophenyl)-hydrazono]-pentane-2,4-dione (Cphpd) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, magnetic moment measurements, UV-vis, FT-IR and $^1H$ NMR as well as TG-DTG techniques. The data indicated that the Cphpd acts as a bidentate ligand through the hydrazono nitrogen and one keto oxygen. The kinetic parameters have been evaluated by using Coats Redfern (CR) and Horowitz-Metzeger (HM) methods. The thermodynamic data reflected the thermal stability for all complexes. The calculated bond length and the bond stretching force constant, F(U=O), values for $UO_2$ bond are $0.775{\AA}$ and $286.95Nm^{-1}$. The bond lengths, bond angles, dipole moment and the lowest energy model structure of the complexes have been determined with DFT calculations. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized ligand and its complexes were screened.

통풍과 oxygen free radical의 독성에 관여하는 xanthine oxidase에 대한 새로운 저해물질의 탐색 및 개발을 목적으로 본 연구에서 선택분리한 Aspergillus sp. F184가 생산하는 저해물질을 분리.정제하고 구조를 결정하였으며 효소저해활성을 조사하였다. 본 균주를 배양 후 배양액을 여과하여 균체와 배양액을 분리하고 균체를 acetone으로 추출하고 감압농축하고 남은 수용액층을 배양액과 합쳐 HP-20 adsorption column chromatography, ethyl acetate 추출, silica gel column chromatography, 결정화 등을 실시하여 xanthine oxidase에 대한 저해물질을 분리, 정제하였다. 본 저해물질의 구조를 NMR 및 MS 스펙트럼을 측정하여 분석한 결과 5,6-epoxy-2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-cyclohexene-1,4-dione으로서 terreic acid로 동정되었다. Terreic acid의 xanthine oxidase에 대한 저해활성을 조사한 결과 IC50가 1.1$\times$10-7M로서 기존의 저해제인 allopurinol과 유사하였다. 이에 terreic acid에 의한 xanthine oxidase 저해활성은 보고된 바가 없기에 새로운 통풍치료제로서의 가능성이 있음을 보고한다.

Triethylgermyldiphenylphosphine과 phenylisocyanate를 1:10 mole 비로 ampoule 속에서 혼합하여 여러 온도에서 반응시켰다. 그 결과 $0^{\circ}C$에서는 phenylisocyanate의 고리화 2합체인 N, N-diphenyluretidine-2,4-dione만이, $20^{\circ}C$에서는 phenylisocyanate의 고리화 3합체인 triphenylisocyanurate가 함께 생성되었으며, $50^{\circ}C$에서는 위의 생성물 이외에 diphenylcarbodiimide가 생성되었다. 또한 $100^{\circ}C$이상에서는 2합체는 생성되지 않고, diphenylcarbodiimide와 1,3,5-triphenyl-2,4,6-tris(phenylimino) hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine이 주로 생성되었다. 그리고 Triethylgermyldiphenylphosphine은 상기 고리 화합물들의 생성에 촉매로 작용하였다.

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder with no curative treatment. The commercially available drugs, which target acetylcholinesterase, are not satisfactory. The aim of this study was to investigate the cholinesterase inhibitory activity of Solenostemma argel aerial part. Eight compounds were isolated and identified by NMR: kaempferol-3-O-glucopyranoside (1), kaempferol (2), kaempferol-3-glucopyranosyl($1{\rightarrow}6$)rhamnopyranose (3) p-hydroxybenzoic acid (4), dehydrovomifoliol (5), 14,15-dihydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione (6), 14,15-dihydroxy-pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione-$15{\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (7) and solargin I (8). Two of them (compounds 2 and 3) could inhibit over 50 % of butyrylcholinesterase activity at $100{\mu}M$. Compound (2) displayed the highest inhibitory effect against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) with a slight selectivity towards the latter. Molecular docking studies supported the in vitro results and revealed that (2) had made several hydrogen and ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking interactions which could explain the compound potency to inhibit AChE and BChE.

한약진흥재단(NIKOM)의 640-천연물 라이브러리를 PC12세포에 10 μg/ml/day로 처리하였다. 면역강화에 관여하는 ERAP1 (Endoplasmic Reticulum AminoPeptidase 1)과 수명연장에 관여하는 FOXO1 (FOXO-family transcription factor) 유전자발현을 RT-PCR로 확인하였다. ERAP1 유전자를 1.5-2배까지 상승시킨 것은 22개, 2배 이상 발현시킨 것은 14개였다. FOXO1 유전자를 1.5-2배까지 상승시킨 것은 총 24개, 2배 이상 발현시킨 것은 4개였다. 동시에 ERAP1과 FOXO1 유전자를 2배 이상 상승시키는 것은 족도리풀(Asiasari radix)에서 분리된 (±)-Car-3-ene-2,5-dione, 두꺼비(Bufonis venenum)에서 분리된 Cinobufagin, 대국(Euphorbiae pekinensis)에서 분리된 Corilagin, 현호색(Corydalis tuber)에서 분리된 Corydaline 4종이다. 이들 4종의 천연물은 초파리를 이용한 개체의 수명연장실험에 사용될 것이다.
