Recent studies show that KR-31378 ［(2S.3SAR)-N"-cyano-N-(6-amino-3A-dihydro-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-dimethoxymethyl-2H-benzopyran-4-yl)-N${\cdots}$-benzylguanidine］ has the neuroprotective effect as evidenced by the limitation of the size of infarct of the ischemia-reperfusion injury after an administration of KR-31378. In the literature. however. kinetics of KR-31378 distribution into the brain has not been systematically studied. (omitted)

We examined the effects of psoralen derivatives on a rapidly activating delayed rectifier $K^+$ channel (hKv1.5) cloned from human heart and stably expressed in $Ltk^-$ cells. Using the whole cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique, we found that the five psoralen derivatives inhibited hKv1.5 current. Especially, 4-(2-Propenyloxy)-7H-furo[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-7-one (compound 5) was more potent than the inhibition of the hKv1.5 current of psoralen. The compound 5 inhibited the hKv1.5 current in a concentration-, time-, and voltage-dependent manner. These results suggest that the compound 5 is an excellent candidate as an antiarrhythmic drug for atrial fibrillation.

Aroma compounds in Pholiota adiposa were extracted by simultaneous distillation and extraction (SDE), and 41 compounds were identified by GC-MS, including eleven alcohols, eight aldehydes, four esters, four ketones, nine alkans, and five miscellaneous compounds. Major aroma compounds included hexanal (8.55%), n-heptaldehyde (13.02%), 2-pentyl furan (4.82%), benzeneacetaldehyde (3.34%), (E,Z)-2,4-decadienal (3.06%), and hexacosane(5.04%). Drying method was applied to aroma compounds of Pholiota adiposa extracted by solid phase microextraction and identified by GC-MS. As hot air-drying temperature increased, peak areas (%) of 2-phenylethanol and benzeneacetaldehyde decreased, whereas those of 2(5H)-furanone (0.16%), 2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (7.63%), 2-acetylpyrrole (5.49%), and 4-phenyl-pyridine (5.61%) increased significantly at $70^{\circ}C$.

KR-31543,(2S,3R,4S)-6-amino-4-[N-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-ylmethyl)amino]-3,4-dihydro-2-dimethoxymethyl-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-1-benzopyran is a new neuroprotetive agent for ischemia-reperfusion damage. The in vitro and in vivo metabolism of KR-31543 in rats has been studied by LC-electrospray mass spectrometry. Rat liver microsomal incubation of KR-31543 in the presence of NADPH resulted in the formation of a metabolite M1. M1 was identified as N-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-ylmethyl)amine on the basis of LC-MS/MS analysis with the synthesized authentic standard. Rat CYP3A1 and 3A2 are the major CYP isozymes involved in the formation of M1.

In the course of screening tyrosinase inhibitory activity, EtOAc-soluble fraction of Nelumbinis Semen (Seeds of Nelumbo nucifera) showed significant inhibition. Further fractionation of the EtOAc-soluble fraction resulted in 12 compounds, which were identified as 4-(hydroxymethyl)phenol (1), tyrosol (2), 4-(hydroxymethyl)benzaldehyde (3), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4), 4-(2-methoxyvinyl)benzene-1,2-diol (5), 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid (6), (2R-trans)-2,3-dihydro-3,5,7,8-tetrahydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (7), (+)-catechin (8), elephantorrhizol (9), (+)-dehydrovomifoliol (10), (-)-boscialin (11) and uridine (12). Compounds 5 and 7 were first reported from this plant. Among the isolated compounds, compound 7 showed strong inhibition on tyrosinase activity with mixed mechanism of competitive and noncompetitive inhibition.

A furocoumarin derivative, psoralen (7H-furo[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-7-one), was isolated from the n-hexane fraction of Heracleum moellendorffii Hance. We examined the effects of psor-alen on a human Kv1.5 potassium channel (hKv1.5) cloned from human heart and stably expressed in Uk- cells. We found that psoralen inhibited the hKv1.5 current in a concentration-, use- and voltage-dependent manner with an IC$_{50}$ value of 180 $\pm$ 21 nM at +60 mV. Psoralen accelerated the inactivation kinetics of the hKv1.5 channel, and it slowed the deactivation kinetics of the hKv1.5 current resulting in a tail crossover phenomenon. These results indicate that psoralen acts on the hKv1.5 channel as an open channel blocker. Furthermore, psoralen prolonged the action potential duration of rat atrial muscles in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, the present results strongly suggest that psoralen may be an ideal antiarrhythmic drug for atrial fibrillation.

From the roots of Angelica dahurica Bentham et Hooker (Umbelliferae), three known coumarin derivatives have been isolated and identified as 8-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-3-methylbutyloxy) psoralen, 5,8-di(2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutyloxy) psoralen, 9-[3-($\beta$-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-2-hydroxy-3-methylbutoxy]-7H-furo[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-7-one. This is the first report of the occurrence of these compounds in this plant. These three compounds were tested for activity in septic shock model. Among these compounds, 2 showed relatively strong preventive activity against septic shock.

Byakangelicin, 9-(2,3-dihydroxy-2-methylbutoxy)-4-methoxy-7H- furo[3,2-g][l]benzopyran-7-one (BKG), a component of Angelicae dahuricae Radix, is considered to be an inhibitor of aldose reductase for the treatment of diabetic cataract. An analytical method for the isolation of BKG developed by high-performance liquid chromatography has been reported. No literature on the metabolism of BKG, however, has been found. With the purpose of identifying new metabolites of BKG, BKG (100 mg/kg) was orally administered to Sprague-Dawley rats via a gavage. Using a metabolic cage, urine was collected for 24 h, and the urine samples were extracted by liquid-liquid extraction. For structural identification of new urinary metabolites of BKG, various instrumental analyses were conducted by gas-chromatography/mass spectrometry, high-performance liquid chromatography/diode array detector, liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy with thermospray interface and $^1H$ nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Two metabolites produced from the Ο-demethylation or Ο-dealkylation of BKG were newly identified, and another new but unknown metabolite was assumed to be the hydroxylated form of BKG. These results indicate that the major metabolic products of BKG are formed by Ο-demethylation or Ο-dealkylation of BKG side chains.
