To solubilize practically insoluble biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (DDB), which has been used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis as tablets or hard capsules, the solubilities of DDB in various hydrophilic, oily and hydrocarbon vehicles, and aqueous surfactant solutions were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. It was found that, among the vehicles studied, polyethylene glycol (PEG) 300 revealed the best solvency, and the solubility reached 17.6 mg/ml at 37$^{\circ}C$. The addition of glycyrrhizic acid ammonium salt (GAA) to DDB-PEG 300 solution (5-20 mg/g) inhibited the formation of precipitates, and at the concentration of 10 mg/g, any precipitaction was not observed even after 2 years at 4$^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, GAA markedly enhanced the permeation of DDB through the rabbit duodenal mucosa in a concentration dependent manner. The addition of copolyvidone (ca. 1.0%) to DDB-GAA-PEG 300 system (1 : 0.5 97.5 w/w) was most effective in preventing the considerable precipitation of DDB-PEG 300 solution (7.5 mg/750 mg) when mixed with water of 300-900 ml at 37$^{\circ}C$. GAA showed a synergistic effect in the prevention of precipitate formation. This finding suggests that this DDB formulation may form less precipitation when DDB soft capsules disintegrate and diffuse into the gastrointestinal fluid, resulting in improving the bioavailability Dissolution rate of DDB (7.5 mg) from sort elastic capsules of DDB-GAA-PEG 300 system was rapid. The supersaturation state was maintained for 2 hr at the concentration of 7.35$\pm$3.3 mg in 900 ml of water without precipitation. The total amount of DDB dissolved from this new formulation was 5.3 and 6.1 times higher, when compared to marketed DDB tablets (25 mg) and capsules (7.5 mg), respectively.

To increase the dissolution rate of practically insoluble biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (DDB), various solid dispersions were prepared with water soluble carriers, such as povidone (PVP K-30), poloxamer 407, sodium deoxycholate (SDC) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000, at drug to carrier ratios of 1:3, 1:5 and 1:10 (w/w) by solvent or fusion method. Dissolution test was performed by the paddle method. The dissolution rate of DDB tablets (25 mg) on market was found to be very low (11.44, 9.02 and 6.42% at pH 1.2, 4.0 and 6.5 after 120 min, respectively). However, dissolution rates of DDB from various solid dispersions were very fast and reached supersaturation within 10 min. DDB-PEG 6000 solid dispersion appeared to be better in enhancing the in vitro dissolution rate than others. Furthermore, the incorporation of DDB and phosphatidylcholine (PC) into ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ at ratios of 1:2:20, 1:5:20 and 1:10:20 resulted in a 4.9-, 11.2- and 19.6-fold increase in DDB dissolution after 120 min as compared with the pure drug, respectively. This might be attributed to the formation of lipid vesicles which entrapped a certain concentration of DDB during dissolution. On the other hand, the permeation of DDB through rabbit duodenal mucosa was examined using some enhancers such as SDC, sod. glycocholate (SGC) and glycyrrhizic acid ammonium salt (GAA). Only trace amounts of DDB were found to permeate through deuodenal mucosa in the absence of enhancer. SDC was found to markedly decrease the permeation flux of DDB, however, SGC and GAA (5 mM) enhanced the flux of DDB 1.6 and 2.4 times higher as compared with no additive, respectively.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are commonly present xenobiotics in natural and contaminated soils. We studied three (phenanthrene, naphthalene, and biphenyl) xenobiotics, catabolism, and associated proteins in Sphingobium chungbukense DJ77 by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) analysis. Comparative analysis of the growth-dependent 2-DE results revealed that the intensity of 10 protein spots changed identically upon exposure to the three xenobiotics. Among the upregulated proteins, five protein spots, which were putative dehydrogenase, dioxygenase, and hydrolase and involved in the catabolic pathway of xenobiotic degradation, were induced. Identification of these major multifunctional proteins allowed us to map the multiple catabolic pathway for phenanthrene, naphthalene, and biphenyl degradation. A part of the initial diverse catabolism was converged into the catechol degradation branch. Detection of intermediates from 2,3-dihydroxy-biphenyl degradation to pyruvate and acetyl-CoA production by LC/MS analysis showed that ring-cleavage products of PAHs entered the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and were mineralized in S. chungbukense DJ77. These results suggest that S. chungbukense DJ77 completely degrades a broad range of PAHs via a multiple catabolic pathway.

Tamoxifen citrate is an anti-estrogenic drug used for the treatment of breast cancer. It showed a degree of hepatic carcinogenesis, when it used for long term as it can decrease the hexose monophosphate shunt and thereby increasing the incidence of oxidative stress in liver rat cells leading to liver injury. In this study, a model of liver injury in female rats was done by intraperitoneal injection of tamoxifen in a dose of 45 mg/kg body weight for 7 successive days. This model produced a state of oxidative stress accompanied with liver injury as noticed by significant declines in the antioxidant enzymes (glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase) and reduced glutathione concomitant with significant elevations in TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance) and liver transaminases; sGPT (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase) and sGOT (serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase) levels. The oral administration of dimethyl dimethoxy biphenyl dicarboxylate (DDB) in a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight daily for 10 successive days, resulted in alleviation of the oxidative stress status of tamoxifen-intoxicated liver injury in rats as observed by significant increments in the antioxidant enzymes (glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase) and reduced glutathione concomitant with significant decrements in TBARS and liver transaminases; sGPT and sGOT levels. The administration of DDB before tamoxifen intoxication (as protection) is more little effective than its curative effect against tamoxifen-induced liver injury. The data obtained from this study speculated that DDB can mediate its biochemical effects through the enhancement of the antioxidant enzyme activities and reduced glutathione level as well as decreasing lipid peroxides.

도시쓰레기소각로의 전기집진기(Electro Precipitator, EP) 및 선택적촉매반응장치+습식세정탑(Selective Catalytic Reactor+Wet Scrubber, SCR+WS) 전 후단 배출가스 중 배출되고 있는 PCDDs/PCDFs, chlorobenzenes, chlorophenols 및 PCB를 측정 분석하고, 각 방지시설별 PCDDs/PCDFS 및 전구물질 등의 배출량과 배출특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구 결과 전기집진기의 내부에서 염소의 치환정도가 큰 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorinated dibenzo-p-furan(PeCDF)와 2,3,4,6,7,8-hexachlorinated dibenzo-p-furan(HxCDF) 등과 같은 퓨란류, 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol(TeCP), pentachlorophenol(PeCP)의 염화페놀류, 1,2,4,5-tetrachloro benzene(TeCB), pentachlorobenzene(PeCB), hexachlorobenzene(HxCB)의 염화벤젠류 및 hexachlorinated biphenyl(HxCBP), Heptachlorinated biphenyl(HeCBP), octachlorinated biphenyl(OCBP), nonachlorinated biphenyl(NCBP) 등의 PCB 등과 같은 전구물질들이 전단에 비하여 후단에서 재합성되어 배출되는 것으로 조사되었다. 이는 전기집진기의 운전온도가 약 $300^{\circ}C$ 전후로 PCDDs/PCDFs 및 전구물질들이 합성되는 온도와 일치하기 때문인 것으로 생각되어지며, PCDDs/PCDFs 및 전구물질류 증가억제를 위해 EP의 운전온도를 저온화하는 등의 방법으로 PCDDs/PCDFs 및 전구물질 등의 배출 농도를 저감해야 할 것으로 생각된다. 그러나, SCR+WS의 내부에서는 이들 다이옥신류 및 전구물질의 농도가 감소되어 제거되었음을 알 수 있었으나, 각각의 방지시설 전 후단에서 연구가 수행되어 보다 체계적인 다이옥신 저감방안이 제시되어야 한다고 판단되어진다.

n-Methylimidazole, acetonitrile, benzylbromide 및 sodiumhexafluoroantimonate를 이용하여 염기성 촉매 1-benzyle-3-mehyl-imidazolium hexafluoroantimonate (BMH)를 합성하고, tetramethyl biphenol (TMBP)과 epichlorohydrine을 이용하여 결정성 바이페닐 에폭시를 합성하여 FT-IR과 ¹H-NMR으로 구조를 분석하였다. 합성한 촉매 BMH의 경화 거동을 고찰하기 위하여 0 ℃에서 250 ℃까지 5 ℃/min의 속도로 승온시키면서 에폭시 수지에 대하여 BMH의 질량비를 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 wt.%로 변화시켜 시차주사 열량계(differential scanning calorimeter, DSC)로 분석하였다. 그 결과, BMH 촉매는 비스페놀 A형 에폭시와 양이온 중합체의 단계적 가열과정에서 빠른 경화 특성을 보였다. 또한 합성한 바이페닐 에폭시는 일정한 온도에서 급격히 점도가 낮아지는 특성과 바이페놀의 강직한 골격구조를 가지는 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 결정성 구조 및 고내열성을 요구하는 반도체용 봉지재료의 대표격인 epoxy molding compound (EMC)의 원료로서의 적용 가능성을 고찰하였다. 그 결과, 본 연구에서 개발한 바이페닐 에폭시는 결정성 구조로 이루어진 것을 확인하였으며, 경화제로 페놀 노볼락수지와 고온에서의 경화반응 시, BMH 촉매 존재 시에는 150 ℃ 근처에서 경화반응이 관찰되어 EMC의 원료로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
