Julong 601, a Gram-positive anaerobic bacterium strain capable of cleaving the C-ring of isoflavones daidzein and genistein, was isolated from human feces. BLAST search revealed that its complete 16S rDNA gene sequence has 99% similarity to Eubacterium ramulus. Metabolites of daidzein and genistein were determined as O-desmethylangolensin (O-Dma) and 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid (2-HPPA), respectively, based on UV, EI-MS, and $^1H$ and ^{13}C$ NMR spectral analyses. Enantiomers of O-Dma and 2-HPPA were isolated by chiral stationary-phase HPLC (CSP HPLC). Cleavage of the C-ring of daidzein and genistein by strain Julong 601 was highly enantioselective. Specific rotation ([$\alpha]_D$) and circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the enantiomers are reported here for the first time. Biotransformation kinetics of daidzein and genistein indicated that the C-ring of genistein has a higher susceptibility to bacterial degradation than that of daidzein.

20,21,24,25-Tetranitrodibenzo-18-crown-6에 알코올성 염기를 가하여 친핵성 치환반응을 유도하면 crown ether 화합물을 이루는 polyether 고리가 끊어져서 주생성물로 2,4,5-trialkoxynitrobenzene 유도체, 4,5-dialkoxy-1,2-dinitrobenzene 유도체 그리고 crown ether 고리가 부분적으로 끊어져 생긴 bis[(alkoxynitrophenoxy)ethyl]ether 유도체가 부생성물로 얻어졌다. 이가 알코올성 염기에서는 polyether 고리가 끊어진 생성물과 분자내 치환반응이 다시 진행되어 고리축소 현상이 일어나 12-crown-4의 유도체를 얻게 되거나 출발물질이 도로 생성되었다. 이상의 실험은 다양한 알코올의 농도에서 염기의 종류를 달리하여 그 선택성을 알아보았다.

Reaction energies were determined for reductive ring-opening reactions of Li$^+$-coordinated ethylene carbonate (EC) and vinylene carbonate (VC) by a density functional method. We have also explored the ring-opening of Li$^+$-EC and Li$^+$-VC by reaction with a nucleophile (CH$_3$O$^-$.) thermodynamically. Our thermodynamic calculations led us to conclude that the possible reaction products are CH$_3$OCH$_2$CH$_2$OCO$_2$Li (O$_2$-C$_3$ cleavage) for Li$^+$-EC +CH$_3$O$^-$., and CH$_3$OCHCHOCO$_2$Li (O$_2$-C$_3$ cleavage) and CH$_3$OCO$_2$CHCHOLi (C$_1$-O$_2$ cleavage) for Li$^+$-VC +CH$_3$O$^-$.. The opening of VC would occur at the C$_1$-O$_2$ side by a kinetic reason, although the opening at the O$_2$-C$_3$ side is more favorable thermodynamically.

Methanolysis of a ${\beta}$-lactam ring of a cephalosporin was simulated with AM1 semiempirical quantum mechanical calculation. The tetrahedral intermediate TD1 from an O-protonated cephalosporin and a methanol transfers the proton intramolecularly to the C-4 carboxylate to generate an oxyanion, i.e., second tetrahedral intermediate TD2, which undergoes the amide bond cleavage without further protonation on the N-5. For this cleavage a low-energy barrier TS2 was located. According to the energy diagram, tetrahedral intermediates easily undergo ring cleavage even without the protonation on the amide nitrogen.

The acid-promoted cleavage of the E-and Z-isomers of 1-phenyl-6-neopentyl-1,3,4-trimethyl-1-silacyclohe x-3-ene(II) under various conditions gave clean and nearly quantitative formation of the ring-opened 2,3,7,7-tetramethyl-5-(X)silyl-1-octene products (X=OMe, Cl, OH). The possible mechanism for the formation of the ring-opened products was suggested that the initial protonation of II at C-4 would give a carbocation oriented so that they are ${\beta}$ to the silicon atom, and the subsequent nucleophilic attack at silicon would give rise to the observed products (VI, VII, VIII).

Benzo[C]phenanthidine alkaloids were found to exhibit considerably strong antileukemic activies. These alkaloids have been shown to be biosynthesized from the corresponding alkaloids throung an oxidative $C_6-N$ bond cleavage followed by recyclization between $C_6\;and\;C_{13}$ position of the protoberberine. Recently we have achieved the biomimetic transformation of protoberberine alkaloid, berberine into benzo[C]phenanthridine alkaloid, chelerythrine.

The complete nucleotide sequence of the nahC gene from Pseudomonas fluorescens, the structural gene for 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene (1,2-DHN) dioxygenase, was determined. The 1,2-DHN dioxygenase is an extradiol ring-cleavage enzyme that cleaves the first ring of 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene. The amino acid sequence of the dioxygenase deduced from the nucleotide sequence suggested that the holoenzyme consists of eight identical subunits with a molecular weight of approximately 34,200. The amino acid sequence of 1,2-DHN dioxygenase showed more than $90\%$ homology with those of the dioxygenases of other Pseudomonas strains. However, sequence similarity with those of the Sphingomonas species was less than $60\%$. The nahC gene of P. fluorescens was moderately expressed in E. coli NM522, as determined by enzymatic activity.

Irradiation of the berberinephenolbetaine [1] effected valence tautamerization to five 8,14-cycloberbine[21, which was converted to the spirobenzylisoquinolines by regioselective C-N bond cleavage A variety of ring systems such as compounds [4], [5] and [6] were introduced by the structural modification of berberinephenolbetaine.

생체 내에서 생성되는 알파 리포산은 산화방지, 혈당량 조절뿐만 아니라 식욕 억제, 비만 억제 효과 등을 가지고 있다. 약물로도 이용되고 있는 이 물질은 두 개의 황을 함유하고 있는 오각형 고리구조를 가지고 있어, 열과 자외선에 의해서 쉽게 개환되고 나아가 고분자로 중합될 수 있어서 약물로서 투여했을 경우 생체 이용률이 낮아지는 문제가 보고되어 있다. 본 연구는 개환에 따른 고분자화를 위한 다양한 조건을 조사하였다. 리포산은 녹는점이 지나야만 개환이 발생하였지만 그 이상의 온도에서는 온도의존성이 없었다. $70^{\circ}C$에서 개환율은 시간에 비례하였고 농도에 반비례하였다. 1시간 동안, $70^{\circ}C$ 아세트산에서 자외선과 함께 개환된 경우 개환율은 가장 높은 70% 였다. 이렇게 개환된 알파 리포산들은 대부분이 이황 고분자로 변했고, 개환율이 커질수록 고분자의 분자량 도 증가하였다.
