This study aimed to develop a UPLC-MS/MS method for determining plasma levels of L-aspartic acid and L-asparagine and the activity of L-asparaginase. L-aspartic acid, L-asparagine, and L-aspartic acid-2,3,3-$d_3$ were extracted from human plasma by protein precipitation with sulfosalicylic acid (30%, v/v). The plasma samples were analyzed using an Imtakt Intrada amino acid analysis column with 25 mM ammonium formate and 0.5% formic acid in acetonitrile as the mobile phase with step gradient method at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The injection volume was $5{\mu}L$, and the total run time was 15 min. Inter- and intra-batch accuracies (%) ranged from 96.62-106.0% for L-aspartic acid and 89.85-104.8%, for L-asparagine, and the coefficient of variation (CV%) did not exceed 7%. The validation results for L-aspartic acid and L-asparagine satisfied the specified criterion, however, the results for L-asparaginase activity assay showed a borderline validity. This study could be a foundation for further development of therapeutic drug monitoring systems using UPLC-MS/MS.

$\small{L}$-arginine ($\small{L}$-Arg)을 짠맛 증강소재로 활용하기 위하여 전자혀 분석으로 $\small{L}$-Arg의 맛 특성을 조사하고, $\small{L}$-Arg의 강한 쓴맛을 억제하기 위하여 $\small{L}$-aspartic acid ($\small{L}$-Asp)을 혼합하였다. 0.4% NaCl 용액에 $\small{L}$-Arg과 $\small{L}$-Asp를 혼합하여 전자혀 시스템으로 분석한 결과 $\small{L}$-Arg과 $\small{L}$-Asp의 혼합을 다르게 한 경우, 동일한 $\small{L}$-Arg 농도에서 $\small{L}$-Asp의 비율이 감소함에 따라 NaCl의 짠맛 상승효과는 증가하였다. 관능평가에서 짠맛은 동일한 경향이었으며, $\small{L}$-Asp의 첨가로 $\small{L}$-Arg의 쓴맛이 억제되는 것을 확인하였다. 즉, $\small{L}$-Arg과 $\small{L}$-Asp 혼합물은 짠맛 증강소재로 활용될 수 있으며, $\small{L}$-Arg의 쓴맛을 상쇄하기 위한 최적의 혼합비율은 $\small{L}$-Arg : $\small{L}$-Asp =1.00:0.98-1.00 범위가 적합하였다.

Polyene macrolide amphotericin B (AmB) is the drug of choice for the treatment of disseminated fungal infections. However, because of its pronounced side effects, the drug has limited applicability. There are few interesting reports, which state that co-administration of the drug with homo-peptide of polyaspartic acid reduces the side effects of the drug. In our present study, an approach has been made to systematically synthesize low molecular weight heteropeptides consisting of L-aspartic acid and its derivative. It was hypothesized that such heteropeptides will reduce the toxic side effects of the drug by facile hydrophobic binding between the polymer and the drug. We have employed the strategy of solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to synthesize low molecular weight hetero-peptides by using L-aspartic acid and benzyl-L-aspartic acid to induce the hydrophobic binding between the peptide and the drug. In future, the proposed methodology can be employed to tailor other polypeptides substituted with benzyl groups to reduce the nephrotoxicity of AmB.

The compositions of amino acid in 6 monocultured benthic diatoms used in aquaculture of Haliotis discus hannai were analyzed, and effects of 15 artificial synthetic amino acids on the settlement and metamorphosis of H. discus hannai larvae. Results showed that the content of L-aspartic acid was highest in all diatoms, and that of L-glutamic acid was second high. In experiment using settlement slat without benthic diatom attached, the highest settlement rate (33.3 ${\pm}$ 8.8%) was obtained with L-glutamic acid, and a higher value (16.7 ${\pm}$ 3.3%) was found with L-aspartic acid at 24 h after experimental commencement, compared to that of control (8.6 ${\pm}$ 5.1%). 80 h later the metamorphosis rates of L-glutamic acid (86.7 ${\pm}$ 10.7%) and L-aspartic acid (80.0 ${\pm}$ 3.3%) groups were higher than control group(0) and other amino acids significantly. The response rate of L-glutamic acid was the highest (62.0%), and those of L-aspartic acid (30.0%) and L-threonine (25.3%) groups were also significantly higher than control group. In the experiment using settlement slat with benthic diatom attached, the best effect of various amino acids on induction of larval settlement was obtained with L-glutamic (82.0 ${\pm}$ 6.9%) and L-aspartic acid (78.7 ${\pm}$ 5.1%) at 24 h after experimental commencement. The settlement rates of L-histidine, L-leucine, L-lysine, L-methionine, L-phenylalanine, and L-tyrosine groups were significantly lower than control group. The same differences in the metamorphosis rate at 56 h after experimental commencement and in the response rate were found. It should be noted that after 80 h the metamorphosis rates of L-histidine (74.0 ${\pm}$ 12.0%) and L-lysine (87.0 ${\pm}$ 8.8%) declined rapidly compared to those of 56 h (8.0 ${\pm}$ 12.0%; 7.7 ${\pm}$ 12.0%).

담배(N. glauca) 잎 절편 유래 callus 배양에 있어서 callus 생장 단계에 따라 nicotine 생성에 미치는 두 가지 auxin (2,4-D와 NAA)의 영향을 HPLC를 이용하여 조사하였다. 고농도($11.5\;\mu\textrm{M}$)의 2,4-D는 배양 4주째에, NAA는 배양 2주째에 nicotine 생성을 촉진시켜 최대함량을 나타내었고, 그 이후로는 감소하였다. 새성된 nicotine이 다른 alkaloid로 전환되었다. 한편, 전구물질로 알려진 L-arginine 또는 L-aspartic acid 첨가배양에서 저농도($1.5\;\mu\textrm{M}$)의 2,4-D는 고농도에 비해 nicotine 생성을 촉진시켰고, 저농도의 NAA는 고농도에 비해 억제시켰다. 그러나 L-aspartic acid 첨가배양에서 저농도의 NAA는 배양 5주까지 nicotine 생성을 촉진시켰다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 두 가지 auxin은 nicotine 생성에 대해 효과가 다르며, L-aspartic acid가 nicotine 생합성의 전구물질로서, 저농도의 NAA는 이 합성경로에 작용하여 nicotine 생성을 유도하였음을 추론할 수 있었다.

The need of age estimation for identification was increased by complexity of society, and the tooth was used widely for age estimation because of less individual deviation than the other organ. The age estimation using the tooth had several methods. Recently, the one using the racemization of aminoacid in the tooth was admitted more accurate than the other methods, especially in old age. But, this study was not tried in our country, and I would report the result of experiment about age estimation using racemization of dentine. I selected 40-Whole dentine sample from extracted teeth, those were reserved in natural dried condition for 2 weeks~ 1year and calculated the estimation of age from the ratio of D-aminoacid and L-aminoacid (D/L ratio) using gaschromatography and the results were below. 1. The aminoacids showed apparent K/L ratio in dentine were aspartic acid, serine. 2. The aspartic acid showed the highest racemic rate and its rate was 0.0012$\pm$0.0003/yr. 3. The relation between the actual age and K/L ratio was very positive correlation(r+0.954) in the estimation of age using aspartic acid. 4. The deviation between the estimated age using D/L ratio of aspartic acid and actual age was $\pm$3.32.

A new monocyclic ${\beta}-lactam$ analogue, sodium (3R,4S)-3-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-methoxyi minoacetamido]-4-methoxymethyl-2-azetidinone-1- sulfonate (3) was synthesized from L-aspartic acid. Starting from L-aspartic acid, (S)-1-benzyl-4-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-azetidinone (7) was synthesized in four steps by following the established procedures and converted into (3R,4S)-3-amino-1-t-butyldimethylsilyl-4-methoxym ethyl-2-azetidinone (13) in six steps. Acylation of the amino group of 13 with $2-amino-{\alpha}$ -(methoxyimino)-4-thiazoleacetic acid, desilylation, and sulfonation with sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex followed by ion exchange afforded sodium (3R,4S)-3-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-methoxyi minoacetamido]-4-methoxymethyl-2-azetidinone-1- sulfonate (3). Antibacterial activities of this ${\beta}$ -lactam compound 3 were, however, found to be quite low compared to cefotaxime.

식품산업 활용성을 고려하여 땅콩과 땅콩새싹의 열수와 주정 추출물을 제조하고 추출물내 resveratrol과 aspartic acid 함량을 UPLC-MS/MS를 이용하여 분석한 결과 땅콩새싹의 주정 추출물이 가장 높은 resveratrol과 aspartic acid 함량을 나타내었다. 또한 땅콩새싹의 주정 추출물은 3T3-L1 세포에 처리시 지방세포분화를 유의적으로 억제하였다. 따라서 땅콩새싹의 주정추출물은 기능성식품소재로 활용 가능성이 높을 것으로 판단된다. 향후 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 땅콩의 발아조건 및 추출 시간과 온도에 따른 활성성분 함량을 측정하여 최적의 활성성분 추출조건을 확립하는 연구를 진행할 계획이다.

Cobalt(Ⅲ) complexes of trifunctional amino acid and N,N'-diethylethylenediamine-N,N'-di-α-butyrate(deedba), s-cis-[Co(deedba)(L-aa)] (L-aa=S-methyl-L-cysteine, L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid) have been prepared from the reaction between the s-cis-[Co(deedba)(Cl2)]- complex and the corresponding amino acid. The amino acids have been found to coordinate through the amine and carboxylate groups. The S-methyl-L-cystene is coordinated not by the sulfur donor atom, but by the nitrogen and oxgen donor atoms, and the L-aspartic and L-glutamic acids are coordinated to the cobalt(Ⅲ) ion via formation of the five-membered glycinate chelate ring. Relatively small optical activity shown by the complexes is due to the chiral center present in the amino acids.
