The conformational, configurtational behavior and the structure of N-2-(1,4-Dioxane)-N'-(4-methylbenzenesulfonyl)-O-(4-methylphenoxy) isourea 1 has been studied using DFT method. Calculations predict the imidoyl amino group of the dioxane ring prefers axial conformation and that the tosyl and tolyl groups about the C=N bond retain E configuration. The anomeric effect controls the population of dioxane ring conformers, and anomers. Intramolecular hydrogen bonds contribute to the stability of E isomers. The computational analysis of 1 complements the X-ray findings.

Prebiotic isomaltooligosaccharide preparations contain $\alpha$-D-glucooligosaccharides comprising isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs) and non-prebiotic maltooligosaccharides (MOs). They are both glucose oligosaccharides characterized by their degree of polymerization (DP) value (from 2 to $\sim$10), linkages types and positions (IMOs: $\alpha$-(1$\rightarrow$2, 3, 6 and in a lower proportion internal 1$\rightarrow$4) linkages, MOs: α-(1$\rightarrow$4) linkages). Their structure is the key factor for their prebiotic potential. In order to determine and elucidate the exact structure of unknown IMOs and MOs, unambiguous assignments of $^{13}C$ and $^1H$ chemical shifts of commercial standards, representative of IMOs and MOs diversity, have been determined using optimized standard one and two-dimensional experiments such as $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR, APT and ${^1}H-{^1}H$ COSY, TOCSY, NOESY and <$^1H-{^{13}}C$ heteronuclear HSQC, HSQC-TOCSY, and HMBC. Here we point out the differential effect of substitution by a glucose residue at different positions on chemical shifts of anomeric as well as ring carbons together with the effect of the reducing end configuration for low DP oligosaccharides and diasteroisotopic effect for H-6 protons. From this study, structural $^{13}C$ specific spectral features can be identified as tools for structural analysis of isomaltooligosaccharides.

Unusual pyrimidine nucleoside인 5-fluoro-4'-thiouridine과 5-Chloro-4'-thiouridine을 5-fluoro-와 5-chlorouracil의 2,4-bis(trimethylsilyl) 유도체들을 만든후, 축합반응하여 합성하였다. Leukemia 1210 cell과 Streptococcus faecium에 대한 기초 생물화학적인 예비시험에 의하면 5-fluoro-4'-thiouridine은 5-fluorouridine보다 억제효과가 월등하여 항암제로서의 전망여하는 앞으로의 임상 화학적인 결과로 구명될것 이라고 예상된다.

Glycosylation of aesculetin was performed using amylosucrase from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Deinococcus geothermalis DSM 11300 to improve the solubility and biological activity of aesculetin. A newly synthesized aesculetin glycoside was identified as α-cichoriin (aesculetin 7-α-D-glucoside) by nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The solubility of α-cichoriin was 11 times higher than that of aesculetin because of the attached glucose moiety. Aesculetin and α-cichoriin had no significant effect on the proliferation of normal cells, such as RAW 264.7, but they showed a cell proliferation inhibitory effect on B16F10 melanoma cells. Unlike treatment with aesculetin and α-cichoriin, aesculin (aesculetin 6-β-D-glucoside) showed no antiproliferative activity in B16F10 cells. Based on the molecular structures of aesculin and α-cichoriin, the position where glucose binds to aesculetin and the anomeric configuration between glucose and aesculetin are thought to be important for exerting an antiproliferative effect on the B16F10 cell line. Based on these results, we propose that α-cichoriin, the α-glycosylated form of aesculetin, may serve as a model for developing phytochemical analogs with therapeutic potential for the treatment of diseases associated with tumor cell proliferation without cytotoxicity to normal cells.

영지균사체로부터 기능적인 면역활성 물질을 얻고자, 여러 조건으로 추출된 ${\beta}-glucan$성 다당류(GAM)의 Raw 264.7 대식세포 활성 정도를 알아보았다. GAN으로 자극된 Raw 264.7 대식세포는 대조군보다 약 $2{\sim}5$배의 nitric oxide 생성을 촉진하였다. 대식세포의 활성화 정도는 GAM의 구조와 분자량 그리고 화학적 조성에 따라 NO생성에 차이를 보였다. 서당을 탄소원으로 배양된 균사체로부터 추출된 알칼리 가용성이며 수용성인 G-BUC로 활성화된 Raw 264.7세포는 $22{\mu}M$의 NO생성을 유도하였다. G-SUC(WS)는 87%의 탄수화물과 3.4%의 단백질로된 평균분자량 30 kD의 다당류이다. 탄수화물의 구성당은 48%의 포도당과 22%의 mannose등으로 구성된 glucomannan성 GAM이다. 세포분획성 GAM가운데 세포벽으로부터 추출된 알칼리 가용성(CW-AB-WS)인 ${\beta}-glucan$성 다당류가 가장 많은 NO생성을 촉진시켜 영지의 대식세포 활성 다당류로 가장 잠재력이 있는 다당류인 것으로 나타났다. NO생성에 GAN과 대식세포 활성물질(LPS 및 $IFN-{\gamma}$)의 혼합 효과는 독자적인 자극보다는 혼합하여 자극했을 때 NO의 생성이 증폭되었다. GAM으로 활성화된 대식세포의 유사분열은 대조군에 비해 현저히 억제되었으며, 활성화된 대식세포의 배양액은 in vitro에서 L1210 암세포 주에 세포독성을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과로 보아 영지의 ${\beta}-glucan$성 다당류(GAN)는 ${\beta}-anomeric$ glucan receptor를 갖고 있는 대식세포를 자극하여 NO를 생성하며, 이때 NO생성의 촉진하는 다당류의 조건은 어느정도의 수용성을 갖고 있는 소량의 단백질이 포함된 고분자성 ${\beta}$glucan다당류이다.
