Capsaicin [N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-trans-8-methyl -6-nonenamide], a pungent principle of red pepper. is known to induce analgesia. Though it has shown remarkable pharmacological activity, the toxicity and side effects inhibited its wider application. The interest has been renewed by the emergence of its agonists, resineferatoxin and ruthenium red. Recently, few successful capsaicinoids including 01vanil (NE-19550), NE-28345, and NE-21610 were reported.

Chitin and chitosan have a wide range of application on the environmental and biomedical engineering by their biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity and adsorption property, etc. The efforts of manufacturing chitosan fibers are continuously maintained until now$\^$l.2)/. Electrospinning is new method to produce the nano-sized fibers for medical uses. Recently, formation of chitosan fiber using electrospinning is studied by many textile researchers. (omitted)

Novel anomeric branched carbocyclic nucleosides were synthesized from 1,3-dihydroxy acetone. 4'-Hydroxymethyl was installed by [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction and 1'-methyl group was introduced by carbonyl addition of methylmagnesium bromide. The coupling of nucleosidic bases and desilylation afforded a series of novel nucleosides. The synthesized compounds $16{\~}19$ were evaluated for their antiviral activity against HIV-1, HSV-1, HSV-2, and EMCV. Compounds 16 and 19 exhibit toxicity non-related to any anti-HIV-1 activity.

A non-hepatotoxic dose of dichloromethane (DCM) was examined for potential effects on the hepatotoxicity of carbon tetrachloride (CT) in adult male rats. A concomitant treatment of DCM (0.45ml/kg, po) significantly potentiated the hepatotoxicity of CT at varing doses (0.06 to 0.63 ml/kg, po) as determined by increase in SGOT and SGPT activities 24 hn following the treatments. The carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) saturation induced by DCM was significantly decreased by CT treatments. The potentiation of CT hepatotoxicity by DCM does not appear to be associated with increased metabolism of CT.

Non-viral vectors, including lipid- or polymer-based systems, have attracted much attention to date as a gene delivery vehicle, due to safety issues with viral vectors. Chitosan, a naturally existing cationic polymer, has shown great potential as a gene delivery carrier, as it has low immunogenicity and toxicity, excellent transcellular transport ability, and is relatively easy to chemically modify. This review summarizes and discusses the general features of chitosan and its applications as a delivery carrier of DNA and RNA.

Ethylacetate fraction from Orobanche crenata, contained two phenylpropanoid glycosides, exhibited some pharmacological properties. It was found to be non-toxic to rats in oral doses up to 500mg/100gm body weight. In large doses, it lowered the arterial blood pressure of anaethetised rats, and produced significant analgesic effect in mice and diuretic effect in rats. It further showed smooth muscle relaxant and antispasmodic effects in the isolated rabbit intestine and guinea-pig ileum respectively.

배 경 : 전체 폐암의 75%를 차지하고 있는 비소세포폐암의 항암요법은 Cisplatin을 근간으로 하여 최근 여러 가지 새로운 항암제들이 개발되어 사용하고 있다. Cisplatin의 충분한 항암효과를 기대할 수 있는 용량을 결정하는데 중요한 것이 용량 제한성 (dose-limiting) 부작용으로, 결국 악성종양세포와 정상세포를 구분할 수 없어 발생하게 되며 이는 한번의 고용량(single high dose) 및 축적되는 용량(cumulative dose) 모두에서 생길 수 있어 최근 화학적 보호제제들을 사용 하여 이러한 cisplatinn의 용량 제한성 부작용들을 최소화시키면서 고용량의 cisplatin을 시도해 항암효과를 강화시키려는 연구가 많이 시행되고 있다. 방 법 : 비소세포폐암세포주(폐선암과 폐편평상피암)와 정상 폐포상피세포주에서 각각 단계적으로 cisplatin용량을 고용량으로 증량시키면서 세포독성효과를 먼저 비교 하고 다시 glutathione을 함께 투여하였을 때 glutathione이 고용량 cisplatin의 세포독성에 미치는 효과를 각 세포주들에서 비교하였다(SPSS 10.0 ANOVA test p<0.05) 결 과 : 폐선암세포주는 결과의 차이가 심해 비교하기가 힘드나 나타난 결과로 볼 때 glutathione의 투여는 cisplatin의 항암효과를 상쇄시켜 임상에서 투여하는데는 문제가 있을 것으로 생각된다. 폐편평상피암세포 주와 정상폐상피세포주 두가지를 같은 cisplatin 농도와 glutathione 농도에서 비교하였는데 Cisplatin 농도는 0, 30, 60, 125 ${\mu}g$/ml의 4 단계의 농도에서 비교 하였고 결과는 편평상피폐암세포주에서는 glutathione 농도 100 ${\mu}g$/ml 에서 76.6-81.5%, 250 ${\mu}g$/ml에서 80.5-93.2% 정도로 생존율을 나타내고 정상폐상피세포주에서 glutathione농도 100, 250 ${\mu}g$/ml 모두에서 91.5-100%까지 90%이상의 생존율을 유지하였다. (ANOVA test p<0.05) 결 론 : glutathione은 정상폐상피세포주에서 고농도 cisplatin에 의한 세포독성에 대한 보호효과가 크다.

살균소독제, 라미아-킬(benzalkonium chloride(20%), citric acid(20%))에 대하여 랫드와 토끼를 이용하여 급성경구독 성과 피부 자극성 평가를 각각 수행하였다. 랫드에 라미아-킬 2,000 mg/kg 농도를 최고농도로 하여 단회 투여 후, 14일간 관찰한 결과, 사망, 이상증상 및 체 중변화 등은 관찰되지 않아, 라미아-킬의 $LD_{50}$은 2,000 mg/kg 이상으로 추정되었다. 토끼의 등 부위의 털을 제거하고 찰과부위와 비찰과 부위에 여러 농도로 라미아-킬을 도포 한 후, 피부 자극성을 확인한 결과, 라미아-킬의 l차 자극 지수가 0.50으로 비자극성 물질로 분류되었다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통하여, 라미아-킬은 급성경구독성 시 안전한 물질이며, 피부 자극성을 야기하지 않는 물질로 평가되었다.

Background: Docetaxel, cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil (DCF) given every three weeks is an effective, but palliative regimen and significantly toxic especially in patients who have a low performance score. Here, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a weekly formulation of DCF in locally advanced and metastatic gastric cancer patients. Materials and Methods: 64 gastric cancer patients (13 locally advanced and 51 metastatic) whose ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status (PS) was 1-2 and who were treated with at least two cycles of weekly DCF protocol as first-line treatment were included retrospectively. The weekly DCF protocol included $25mg/m^2$ docetaxel, $25mg/m^2$ cisplatin, and 24 hours infusion of $750mg/m^2$ 5-fluorouracil, repeated every week. Disease and patient characteristics, prognostic factors, treatment response, grade 3-4 toxicity related to treatment, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated. Results: Of the patients, 41 were male and 23 were female; the median age was 63 (29-82) years. Forty-one patients were ECOG-1 and 23 were ECOG-2. Of the total, 81.2% received at least three cycles of chemotherapy. Partial response was observed in 28.1% and stabilization in 29.7%. Overall, the disease was controlled in 57.8% whereas progression was noted in 42.2%. The median time to progression was 4 months (95%CI, 2.8-5.2 months) and median overall survival was 12 months (95%CI, 9.2-14.8 months). The evaluation of patients for grade 3-4 toxicity revealed that 10.9% had anemia, 7.8% had thrombocytopenia and 10.9% had neutropenia. Non-hematologic toxicity included renal toxicity (7.8%) and thrombosis (1.6%). Conclusions: In patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer who were not candidates for DCF administered every-3-weeks, a weekly formulation of DCF demonstrated modest activity with minimal hematologic toxicity, suggesting that weekly DCF is a reasonable treatment option for such patients.

삼환계 항우울제의 하나인 이미프라민은 우울장애와 야뇨증, 불안장애, 신경성 통증에 쓰인다. 그러나 이미프라민을 포함한 삼환계 항우울제는 많은 부작용이 관찰되는 데, 항콜린성 작용으로 초기에 입이 마르고 동공산대, 소변 정체, 동성빈맥을 보인다. 또한 중추신경계에 작용하여 섬망, 불안, 초조, 환각, 경련, 혼수를 야기할 수 있다. 그러나 앞에서 말한 부작용 보다도 치명적인 것인 삼환계 항우울제에 의해 소디움 채널 차단으로 인한 부정맥이다. QRS파의 연장과 QTc 연장, 넓은 QRS파 빈맥, Brugada 심전도 양상이 나타나며 이런 현상은 중탄산 나트륨을 통해 나트륨을 대량으로 공급하여 회복시킬 수 있다. 이미프라민을 포함한 삼환계 항우울제에는 아직도 널리 쓰이고 있지만 지금까지 소아에서 부정맥이 부작용으로 나타난 증례에 대한 보고가 없었다. 따라서 저자들은 이미프라민 과량복용 후 경련, 넓은 QRS파를 보이는 빈맥, Brugada 심전도 양상, 무뇨를 보인 환아를 경험, 치료하여 이를 보고한다.
