It is known not only that antifungal compounds such as sparassol, methyl orsellinate (ScI) and methyl-dihydroxy-methoxy-methylbenzoate (ScII) were produced during submerged culture from Sparassis crispa, but also that ScI and ScII were appeared higher antifungal activity than sparassol. The aim of this study, antifungal compounds of Sparassis latifolia were purified from mycelial culture media and identified by using NMR and ESI-MS. Based on HPLC analysis, methyl orsellinate and sparassol were detected at 15 min and 31 min of retention time, respectively. The compounds derived from S. latifolia were classified into four production patterns according to their strains. The strains originated from host plant Larix kaempferi and Pinus koraiensis showed different patterns of compound production, whereas the strains originated from host plant P. densiflora and Abies holophylla showed almost same patterns. There was no correlation between mycelial biomass and compound production. KFRI 645 strain from L. kaempferi exhibited higher methyl orsellinate production (0.170 mg/ml). Sparassol was produced by KFRI 747 from P. densiflora (0.004 mg/ml). Thus, our result revealed the new fact that methyl orsellinate and sparassol have different patterns according to the strains originated from different host plants.

This study was conducted to increase the shelf life of grape by edible coating material such as methyl cellulose (MC) with antimicrobial substances, n-capric acid isopropyl ester (ci) and sodium nitrate (sn), added by spraying method. The quality changes of packaged grapes with wrapping PE film on EPS tray were investigated for 16 days at $30{\circ}C$. The shelf-lives of C and MCci based on the weight reduction ratio of 7% were 6 days and 9 days, respectively. The reduction rate of acidity of C was higher value than those of treatments during 18 days of storage at $30{\circ}C$. The vitamin C reduction ratios of C, MCsn and MCci were 64.8, 51.5 and 49.8%, respectively, after 16 days at $30{\circ}C$. The reduction rates of firmness of C, MCsn and MCci after 16 days at $30{\circ}C$ were 44.2, 26.5, and 23,2%, respectively compared to that of initial storage grapes. The additions of ci and sn had much affected the reductions of bacteria and yeast counts especially early stage of storage. The hedonic sensory evaluation scores of MCci and MCsn had higher values than those of MC.

The experiment was conducted to investigate effects of bensulfuron-methyl{methyl 2-((((((4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)amino)carbony)amino)sulfonyl)methyl)benzoate}on bud sprouting, percent regrowth, and regrowth from growth cessation in Eleocharis kuroguwai. Application of bensulfuron-methyl resulted in sprouts of two of three lateral buds in addition to the apical bud of E. kuroguwai. With bensulfuron-methyl the culms elongated from the sprouted buds were killed soon after emergence. However, the buds remained biologically active. During the period of growth cessation the tuber buds respired in a minimum rate, but respiration began to increase with regrowth. At regrowth increase in the respiration was greater in the lateral buds than in the apical bud. Days required to regrowth was 35 days in the suppressed apical bud when applied at the rate of 51 g a. i. ha bensulfuron-methyl, while the suppressed lateral buds sprouted first and second required 29 and 28 dyas, respectively. After regrowth number of new culms was two to three times greater in the lateral buds than in the apical bud.

The method for residue analysis of four sulfonylurea pesticides, rimsulfuron, ethametsulfuron-methyl, tribenuron-methyl and chlorimuron-ethyl was examined and analyzed by HPLC with ODS column ($250\;mm{\times}4.6\;mm$, $5\;{\mu}m$ diameter particle size) which was maintained at $35^{\circ}C$. Mobile phase consisted of solvent A (20 mM $KH_2PO_4$, pH 2.5) and solvent B (acetonitrile). Isocratic elution of the column with 45% solvent A and 55% solvent B at a flow rate of 1 mL/min resulted in retention times of 5.92, 6.54, 9.28, and 14.35 min for rimsulfuron, ethametsulfuron-methyl, tribenuron-methyl, and chlorimuron-ethyl, respectively. All injection volumes were $20\;{\mu}L$. The limit of quantitation was 0.02, 0.01, 0.001, and 0.004 mg/kg for rimsulfuron, ethametsulfuron-methyl, tribenuron-methyl, and chlorimuron-ethyl, respectively. Recovery rate test was performed with three farm products, rice, apple and soybean. Four sulfonylurea pesticides were spiked at concentrations of 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5 mg/kg. The recovery rates were ranged from 86.12% to 116.26% and the standard deviations of all experiments were within 10%.

The intermediate, 17${\alpha}$-methyl-4-aza-5${\alpha}$-androstan-17${\beta}$-ol(Ⅸ) required for the synthesis of 4-(${\beta}$-guanidinoethyl)-17${\alpha}$-methyl-4-aza-5${\alpha}$-androstan-17${\beta}$-ol(V) was obtained through a reaction of 17${\alpha}$-methyl-3,5-seco-4-norandrostan-17${\beta}$-ol-5-on-3-oic acid(VI) with ammonium hydroxide followed by two reductions(platinum dioxide with hydrogen and lithium aluminium hydride). Condensation of Ⅸ with chloroacetonitrile under anhydrous condition, followed by reduction of the nitrile with lithium aluminium hydride gave 4-(${\beta}$-aminoethyl)-17${\alpha}$-methyl-4-aza-5${\alpha}$-androstan-17${\beta}$-ol(XI). The reaction of XI with 2-methyl-2-thiopseudourea or 3,5-dimethylpyrazole-1-carboxamidine, or cyanamide provided the title compound, V. Relaxation of the nictitating membrane, in the absence of mydriasis, is considered to be evidence of adrenergic neurone blockade. Thus the test compound(V) resembles that of the classical adrenergic neurone blocking agents.

Four unreported derivatives of N-arylsulfonylbenzamide and six derivatives of N-arylsulfonylbenzimidothiophenyl ester were prepared. These were; p-methyl-N-(arylsulfonyl)benzamide, m-methyl-N-(arylsulfonyl)benzamide, m-nitro-N-(arylsulfonyl)benzamide, p-methoxy-N-(arylsulfonyl)benzamide, p-methyl-N-(arylsulfonyl)benzimidothiophenyl esters, p-chloro-N-(arylsulfonyl)benzimidothiophenyl ester, m-methyl-N-(arylsulfonyl)benzimidothiophenyl ester, p-nitro-N-(arylsulfonyl)benzimidothiophenyl ester, m-nitro-(arylsulfonyl)benzimidothiophenyl ester and p-methoxy-N-(arylsulfonyl)benzimidothiophenyl ester. The rate constants of the hydrolysis of N-arylsulfonylbenzimidothiophenyl esters were determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry at various pH and rate equations which can be applied over a wide pH range were obtained. From the rate equation and substituent effects, one can conclude that above pH 11, the hydrolysis of N-arylsulfonylbenzimidothiophenyl esters are initiated by the attack of hydroxide ion, however, below pH 9, started by the addition of a water molecule on the azomethine group. At pH 9∼11, the competitive reaction between a water molecule and hydroxide ion is anticipated to occur.

Objectives: Some animal studies have reported that methyl mercury causes developmental toxicities such as placental and fetal weight loss, but the mechanism is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the developmental toxicities of methyl mercury, focusing on placental endocrine function and fetal growth retardation in rats. Methods: Positively same-time-mated female Sprague-Dawley rats were purchased on gestational day (GD) eight and treated with 0, 5, 10 and 20 ppm of methyl mercury (n=5) dissolved in tap water from GD eight through 19. During treatment, the drinking water (methyl mercury) intake and body weight of each pregnant rat was measured daily. On day 19, caesarean sections were performed and blood samples were collected. Developmental data such as placental and fetal weights, fetus numbers, and placental efficiency (fetal weight/placental weight) were also collected. Placental prolactin-growth hormone (PRL-GH) family, such as placental lactogen (PL) -Iv, II, and prolactin-like protein (PLP) -B, levels in serum were analyzed by ELISA. Also, placental tissues were assigned to histochemistry. Results: The mean cumulative methyl mercury exposure for the 5, 10, and 20 ppm groups were 2.37, 4.63, and 9.66 mg, respectively. The mean daily exposure of the 5, 10, and 20 ppm groups were 0.24, 0.47, and 0.97 mg, respectively. Maternal body weight increased in accordance with GD. There was no significant difference in weight gain among the experimental groups. Histopathologic changes were not observed in placental tissues among the experimental groups. However, mean placental and fetal weights were lower in the 10 and 20 ppm exposed groups compared to the control. Placental efficiency was also lower in the 10 and 20 ppm exposed groups compared to the control. Serum PL-Iv and II levels were lower in the 10 and 20 ppm exposed groups than the control, in accordance with the changing pattern of placental and fetal weights and placental efficiency. Conclusion: The inhibitory effects of methyl mercury on the serum levels of placental PRL-GH family such as PL-Iv and II may be secondary leads to the reduction of placental efficiency and fetal growth retardation in rats.

Fungicidal activity has been examined for a series of substituted phenylhydrazono-3-methyl-1,2-isoxazol-5-one against plant pathogenic fungi. 3-methyl isoxazol-5-one was obtained from ethyl acetoacetate and hydroxyl amine. Final products were prepared by aromatic diazo coupling with 3-methyl isoxazol-5-one. Fungicidal activities against Rhizoctonia solani, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Cladosporium cucumerinum, Pythium ultimum were tested and Pythium ultimum were tested and Pythium ultimum was selected for quantitative measurement of activity. Methyl, halogen, nitro derivatives possessed high fungicidal activity at p-, o-, p- position, respectively. Methyl, halogen derivatives were much more active than alkoxy, nitro derivatives and the order of activity of halogen derivatives was F > Cl > I. This result implied that the activity was related to the molecular volume of substitutents.

For the synthesis of new anti-inflammatory agents as indol derivatives, we have synthesized ${\alpha}$-benzoyl-1-ethyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydro-8-ethyl-9-(N-benzoyl)pyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-acetic acid methyl ester. It was a new method for ${\alpha}$-substituted etodolac carboxylic acid. The synthetic process was composed of four steps, and 7-ethylindole and oxalyl chloride were used as starting materials. The third step, cyclization was carried out by addition of borontrifluoride diethyl etherate in 66% yield. The step of reduction and cyclization were simplified successfully. The final product, ${\alpha}$-benzoyl-1-ethyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydro-8-ethyl-9-(N-benzoyl)pyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-acetic acid methyl ester was obtained in 66% yield by the reaction of methyl 1,8-dimethyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-acetate (etodollic acid methyl ester) and benzoyl chloride.

Bio-liquid is a liquid by-product of the hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) reaction, converting wet biomass into solid hydrochar, bio-liquid, and bio-gas. Since bio-liquid contains various compounds, it requires efficient sampling method to extract the target compounds from bio-liquid. In this research, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) in bio-liquid was extracted based on hollow fiber supported liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) and determined by Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID) and Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). The well-known major components of biodiesel, including methyl myristate, palmitate, methyl palmitoleate, methyl stearate, methyl oleate, and methyl linoleate had been selected as standard materials for FAME analysis using HF-LPME. Physicochemical properties of bio-liquid was measured that the acidity was 3.30 (${\pm}0.01$) and the moisture content was 100.84 (${\pm}3.02$)%. The optimization of HF-LPME method had been investigated by varying the experimental parameters such as extraction solvent, extraction time, stirring speed, and the length of HF at the fixed concentration of NaCl salt. As a result, optimal conditions of HF-LPME for FAMEs were; n-octanol for extraction solvent, 30 min for extraction time, 1200 rpm for stirring speed, 20 mm for the HF length, and 0.5 w/v% for the concentration of NaCl. Validation of HF-LPME was performed with limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), dynamic range, reproducibility, and recovery. The results obtained from this study indicated that HF-LPME was suitable for the preconcentration method and the quantitative analysis to characterize FAMEs in bio-liquid generated from food waste via HTC reaction.
