The molecular geometries and harmonic vibrational frequencies of biphenyl in the ground and the first excited triplet states have been calculated using the Hartree-Fock and Becke-3-Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) density functional methods with 6-31G* basis set. Structural change occurs from a twisted benzene-like to a planar quinone-like form upon the excitation to the first excited state. Scaled harmonic vibrational frequencies for the ground state obtained from the B3LYP calculation show good agreement with the available experimental data. A few vibrational fundamentals for both states are newly assigned based on the B3LYP results.

Co-sensitized photooxygenation of 1,1-diphenyl-2-vinylcyclopropane (VCP-DPh) with 9,10-dicyanoanthracene and biphenyl in oxygen-saturated acetonitrile solution produced 3,3-diphenyl-5-vinyl-1,2-dioxolane as the major product. The same photoproduct was obtained by acetone sensitized photooxygenation in oxygen-saturated acetone solution. However, VCP-DPh remained intact when directly irradiated with DCA or irradiated with Rose Bengal to generate singlet oxygen. A mechanism involving a cosensitizer radical cation and sensitizer radical anion is proposed.

4-Chlorobiphenyl(4CB) 과 biphenyl 을 분해하는 Pseudomoas sp. DJ-12 의 pcbAB 는 분해초기 단계에 작용하는 4-chlorobiphenyl dioxygenase 와 dihydrodiol dehydrogenase 효소를 생산하는 유전자들이다. 이 유전자를 E. coli XL1-Blue 에 플로닝하여 CU101 형질전환체를 얻었다. CU101 의 pCU101 재조합 plasmid 에 클로닝된 pcbAB 유전자는 크기가 약 2.2 kb 이고 3 개의 Hind III 제한효소 위치가 있었으며, 독자적인 promoter 를 가지고 있었다. CU101 에 대하여 biphenyl 을 기질로 하여 생성된 대사산물을 resting cell assay 를 한 결과 2, 3-dihydroxybiphenyl 이 검출되어 pcbAB 유전자들이 E. coli 에서 잔 발현된다는 것을 의미하였다. 그러나 dechlorination 작용은 pcbAB 유전자와 관계없이 4AB 의 개환과정 후 생성된 4-chlorobenzoate 에서 일어나는 것으로 해석된다.

The eventual goal of this study is to elucidate roles of plant terpenoids (e.g., cymene, limonene and others) as natural substrates in the cometabolic biodegradation of PCBs and to develop an effective PCB bioremediation technology. The aim of this study was to examine how plant terpenoids, as natural substrates or inducers would affect the biodegradation of PCB congeners. Various PCB degraders that could grow on biphenyl and several terpenoids were tested for their PCB degradation capabilities. The PCB congener degradation activities were first monitored through resting cell assay technique that could detect degradation products of the substrate. The congener removal was also confirmed by concommitant GC analysis. The PCB degraders, Pseudononas sp. P166 and Caynebacterium sp. T104 were found to grow on both biphenyl and terpenoids ((S)-(-) limonene, p-cymene and ${\alpha}-terpinene$) whereas Arthrobacter B1B could not grow on the terpenoids as a sole carbon source. The strain B1B grown on biphenyl showed a good degradation activity for 4,4'-dichlorobiphenyl (DCBp) while strains P166 and T104 gave about 25% of B1B activity. Induction of degradation by cymene, limonene and terpine was hardly detected by the resting cell assay technique. This appeared to be due to relatively lower induction effect of these terpenoids compared with biphenyl. However, a subsequent GC analysis showed that the congener could be removed up to 30% by the resting cells of T104 grown on the terpenoids. This indicates that terpenoids, widely distributed in nature, could be utilized as both growth and/or inducer substrate for PCB biodegradation.

In this study, we have investigated the effect of Biphenyl Dimethyl Dicarboxylate (DDB), a synthetic analogue of Schizandrin C isolated from Schizandrae Fructus on cytochrome $P_450$ lAl and 2Bl, and the protective mechanism against $CCl_4-induced$ hepatotoxicity in rat liver. After DDB was administered into male rats for different periods of time (1~7 days) and with different doses (25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg), mRNA levels of CYPlAl were measured by polymearse chain reaction (PCR) and assayed the activities of CYPlAl specific ethoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (EROD) and CYP2Bl specific benzyloxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (BROD). DDB treatment resulted in increase in CYP2Bl mRNA level and BROD activity, whereas there was no change in CYPlAl mRNA level and EROD activity. This effect of DDB was time-and dose-dependent and reached maximal level by 3 day and 200 mg/kg treatment. In addition, rats were pre-treated with DDB at doses of 25, 50 or 100 mg/kg daily for 4 days, 3-hr after final treatment on the 4th day, $CCl_4$ 0.3ml/kg was intraperitonially injected into the rats to examine the effect of DDB on $CCl_4-induced$ hepatic injury. Serum levels of ALT and AST were determined and histopathological examination was done in rat liver. Furthermore, we have measured hepatic microsomal malondialdehyde(MDA) level, a parameter of lipid peroxidation. Based on serum ALT level and lipid peroxidation, pretreatment of DDB, 50 mg/kg appeared the most protective effect against $CCl_4-induced$ heapatotoxity. These results indicate that DDB stimulates CYP2Bl mRNA level and BROD activity in time and dose dependent manner and suggest that protective effect of DDB on $CCl_4-induced$ hepatotoxicity may be mediated through free radical scavenging.

The bacterial strain P2 degrading polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was isolated from the soil around the Shinchun stream in Taegu after enrichment culture in a media containing biphenyl as the sole carbon source. The isolate was identified as a strain of Pseudomonas sp. based on its morphological and physiological characteristics. The optimal conditions of initial pH of media and temperature for growth were 7.0 and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. Degradation of biphenyl and PCBs was confirmed by GC during the culture of Pseudomonas sp. P2 in a media containing them at a concentration of 500 mg/I. It was observed that Pseudomonas sp. P2 could degrade 97.0$%$ of biphenyl and 60.0$%$ of PCBs after 160 h culture.

To know the mechanism of biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (DDB) in the protection of chemically induced hepatotoxicity, the activity of glutamic pyruvic tran.saminase (GPT) and the level of lipid peroxidation metabolite (malondialdehyde, MDA) and ATP content in hepatocytes were determined in serum and primarily cultured hepatocytes. For in vibo study, rats were pretreated with DDB (300 mg/ kg, p.o.)for 7 days. DDB pretreatment efficiently reduced the elevation of serum GPT activity induced by carbon tetrachloride (1.6 ml/kg, s.c.) and acetaminophen administration (1500 mg/kg, i.p.). In ex vivo study, hepatocytes were isolated from the rats pretreated with DDB (300 mg/kg, p.o.)for 7 days and cultured for 12 hrs before inducing cytotoxicity with chemicals. The MDA formation and the GPT release induced by adriamycin $(1\times10^{-4} mg/ml)$ and cisplatin $(2\times10^{-4} mg/ml)$ were markedly decreased in the hepatocytes from the rats pretreated with DDB as compared to vehicle only. However, DDB pretreatment did not prevent the decrease of ATP contents of hepatocytes induced by cisplatin and adriamycin. In in vitro experiment, DDB was pretreated in primary cultured hepatocytes for 3 days. DDB enhanced the decreases of ATP contents induced by cisplatin and adriamycln. These results suggest that DDB may protect the hepatocytes from injury induced by hepatotoxlcants through inhibiting the lipid peroxidation.
