This study was carried out to elucidate the mode of bacteriostatic property of xanthostatin (XS), a novel depsipeptide antibiotic with an N-acetylglycine side chain and selective antimicrobial activity against Xanthomonas spp. Two biotransformed XSs were isolated by the treatment of XS with the cell lysate of Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri, a solvent partition, preparative TLC, and HPLC. Structure determination of those two biotransformed XSs demonstrated deletion of the N-acetylglycine side chain. Noteworthily, they showed no antimicrobial activity against Xanthomonas spp. This result suggests that the N-acetylglycine side chain plays a critical role in the antimicrobial activity of XS, and that the bacteriostatic property of XS is due to susceptibility of the ester bond between the hexadepsipeptide nucleus and the N-acetylglycine side chain to hydrolytic enzyme(s) produced by Xanthomonas spp.

D-glucose-glycine 계를 사용하여 Maillard 반응에 의하여 생성되는 저분자 휘발성성분을 비롯하여 amide 화합물의 생성 및 그 기구를 검토하였다. 그 결과, 동정된 저분자 휘발성성분 중에서, headspace gas 중의 휘발성성분은 furan, acetone, 2-methylfuran, 2,5-dimethylfuran 2-butanone 2,3-pentanedione, diacetyl 등이었다, 이 중에서 diacetyl의 생성량이 가장 많아, 전 peak 면적의 약 $70\%$를 차지하였다. 또한, 에테르 추출물중의 주요반응생성물은 초산, furfuryl alcohol 2,5-dimethylpyrrole 2-acetylpyrrole 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one 등이었고, ethyl acetate 로 추출한 산성획분중에는 N-acetyl-glycine와 N-methylacetamide 등 2종류의 amide 화합물의 생성이 밝혀졌다. 이들 amide 화합물적 생성기구를 밝히기 위하여, Mailiard 반응초기생성물인 diacetyl 및 glyoxal을 각각 butylamine과 반응시킨 결과, Schiff 염기의 산화적 분해로 N-butylacetamide 및 N-butylformamide의 생성이 인정되었다. 따라서 N-acetylglycine 및 N-methylacetamide는 glucosylamine의 2,3-enol 화 및 ${\beta}-elimination$에 의한 탈수의 진행으로 생성된 dicarbonyl 화합물이 glycine과 반응하여 Schiff 염기를 형성하고, 이 Schiff 염기가 산화적분해를 받아서 N-acetylglycine이 생성되고, N-methylacetamide는 N-acetylglycine의 탈탄산에 의해서 생성된다고 생각한다.

The study investigates the dose-dependent direct X-ray sensing characteristics of Brucinium benzilate (BB) and N-acetylglycine (NAG) organic crystals. BB and NAG were prepared as a slurry and deposited as a thick film on a patterned metal electrode. The X-ray induced photocurrent response was examined for various exposure doses using an intraoral pulsed 70 keV X-ray machine connected to a source meter. Subsequently, the morphological properties and thickness of the thick films were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). At a photon energy of 70 keV, the attenuation coefficient values for NAG and BB crystals were determined to be approximately 0.181 and 0.178 cm²/g, respectively. The X-ray stopping power of the crystals was measured using a suniray-2 X-ray imaging system. To evaluate the responsiveness of the sensors, the photocurrent sensitivity and noise equivalent dose rate (NED) were calculated for both thick films. The findings demonstrated a noteworthy capability of sensing low doses (mGy), thereby suggesting the potential application of these organic materials in X-ray sensor development.

The water-soluble poly(methoxyethoxy-aminoarlyoxy phosphazene) has been synthesized and investigated as a polymeric carrier molecule for the covalent attachment of bioactive agents. The synthetic procedures were developed first through the use of cyclic trimeric model systems. These model systems were utilized for the synthesis of polymeric analogues containing bioactive side groups. The sodium salts of 2-methoxyethanol and 4-acetamidophenol were allowed to react with $(NPCl_2)_3$ or $(NPCl_2)n$ or to yield derivatives of type $[NP-(OCl_2CH_2CH_2OCH_3){\chi}(OArNHCOCH_3)y]_3or$ n. The 4-acetamido groups were then hydrolyzed to 4-amino-phenoxy units with potassium tert-butoxide. Coupling reactions between amino group and N-acetylglycine was accomplished with the use of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Their properties and structural characterization are discussed.

The water-soluble poly(aminoaryloxy-methylamino phosphazene) has been synthesized and investigated as a polymeric carrier species for the covalent attachment of biologically active agents. The cyclic trimeric model systems were utilized for the synthesis of polymeric analogues containing bioactive side groups. The sodium salt of 4-acetamidophenol was first allowed to react with (NPCl2)3 or (NPCl2)n and was then treated with excess methylamine to yield derivatives of type [NP(NHCH3)x(OArNHCOCH3)y]3 or [NP(NHCH3)x(OArNHCOCH3)y]n. The 4-acetamido groups were then hydrolyzed to 4-aminophenoxy units with potassium tert-butoxide. Coupling reactions between amino group and N-acetylglycine was accomplished with the use of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Their properties and structural characterization are discussed.
