The purpose of this study is to determine the antibacterial effect of Dilute Formocresol and Eugenol and Propylene glycol. The experimental drugs are Formocresol in Propylene glycol (5, 10, 20%) and Eugenol in Propylene glycol (50, 75, 100%) and Propylene glycol. The organisms selected for study were Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacillus subtilis which are found in infected root canals and are highly resistant to antiseptics. Isolated bacteria were inoculated on blood agar plate and the plates were incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ for 18 hours and the zones of inhibition then measured. The results were as follows ; 1. The antibacterial action of Formocresol was effective even at 5-10 percent and the action increased when higher concentration was used. 2. The antibacterial action of Eugenol was not effective and the action decreased when higher concentration was used. 3. Propylene glycol itself possessed some antibacterial properties and showed that the antibacterial action of Propylene glycol might be almost the same as that of Eugenol. 4. Among the experimental organisms, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found to be the most resistant to all the experimental drugs.

To develop a clotrimazole-loaded solid suppository with poloxamer and propylene glycol, the melting points of various formulations composed of poloxamer 188 (P 188) and propylene glycol were investigated. The dissolution study of clotrimazole delivered by the suppository composed of P 188 and propylene glycol was performed. The mixtures composed of P 188 and propylene glycol were homogeneous. Propylene glycol affected the melting points of poloxamer mixtures. In particular, the mixture [P 188/propylene glycol (70/30%)] with the melting point of about $32^{\circ}C$ was a solid form at room temperature and instantly melted at physiological temperature. Furthermore, propylene glycol affected greatly the dissolution rates of clotrimazole from the suppository. Dissolution mechanism analysis showed the dissolution of clotrimazole was proportional to the time. Our results indicated that the solid suppository with P 188 and propylene glycol would be a candidate of rectal dosage form for clotrimazole.

The effects of oleic acid, propylene glycol and 5% (w/w) oleic acid in propylene glycol on the electrical properties of hairless mouse skin were studied and the results were compared. The complex electrical impedance was measured as a function of frequency, and resistance and capacitance were determined from the Nyquist plot. Immediately after the treatment with oleic acid, resistance was 145% of the pretreatment value. However it decreased with time and, after 20 hours, it was about 25% of its pretreatment value. Capacitance increased; immediately after the treatment, it was about 125% of pretreatment value and it seemed to increase slowly with time. When the skin was treated with propylene glycol, resistance decreased about 5O% and capacitance increased about 65%. Similar results were observed when the skin was treated with 5% (w/w) oleic acid in propylene glycol, except that the magnitude of resistance drop was much larger. Oleic acid acted synergistically with propylene glycol. Together with the flux data in the literature, the results obtained in this work indicate that electrical resistance is closely related to the permeability of drug molecules through the skin. The results are discussed in terms of the mechanism of action of these penetration enhancers. Overall, this work provided further mechanistic insight into the role of SC lipids in skin resistance and capacitance.

We investigated catalytic activity of ion-exchange resins in acetalization of 1,2-propylene glycol with acetaldehyde. The impacts of reaction variables, such as temperature, reaction time, catalyst loading and feedstock composition, on the conversion of 1,2-propylene glycol were measured. The life of the catalyst was also studied. Furthermore, the reaction kinetics of 1,2-propylene glycol acetalization was studied. It was found that reaction rate followed the first-order kinetics to acetaldehyde and 1,2-propylene glycol, respectively. Therefore, overall acetalization reaction should follow the second-order reaction kinetics, expressed as. Key words: 1,2-propylene Glycol, 2,4-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane, Ion-exchange Resin, Polyhydroxy Compounds, Acetalization $r=kC^{nA}_AC^{nB}_B=19.74e^{\frac{-6650}{T}}C^1_AC^1_B$.

Propylene glycol을 첨가제로 사용하여 HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)와 교차결합제인 EGDMA (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) 그리고 개시제인 AIBN(azobisisobutyronitrile)을 사용하여 공중합 하였다. 생성된 고분자의 물리적 특성을 측정한 결과, 함수율 37.06~38.71%, 굴절률 1.492~1.432, 가시광선 투과율 89.4~91.5%, 인장강도 0.1416~0.2302 kgf 그리고 접촉각의 경우 $38.60{\sim}53.53^{\circ}$ 범위의 분포를 나타내었다. 따라서 propylene glycol을 첨가한 콘택트렌즈 재료의 경우, 기본적인 콘택트렌즈의 물성을 만족하였으며 함수율의 큰 변화를 나타내지 않으면서도 습윤성과 인장강도를 증가시키는 결과를 보여주었다.

The stability and solubility of piroxicam in propylene glycol (PG), polyethylene glycol (PEC), and PG-water cosolvents have been studied by using high performance liquid chromatography. The degradation rate followed an apparent first-order kinetic and the reaction rate constants at 70, 80, and $90^{circ}C$ were determined. From these rate constants, the activation energy and the rate constant of piroxicam at $25^{circ}C$ in pure PG calculated by Arrhenius equation were 23.34 kcal/mole and $7.0\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;day^{-1}$, respectively. Both of PG and PEG increased the solubility of the drug, but PEG was more effective.

이원계 및 삼원계 금속산화물 촉매에서 프로필렌 글리콜의 글리세롤의 전환반응을 행하였다. Cu/Zn 및 Cu/Cr 혼합산화물 촉매에서는 단일 금속 산화물에 비해 글리세롤의 전환율과 프로필렌 글리콜의 선택도가 증가하였다. 또한, Cu/Zn 촉매에 Al이 첨가된 혼합산화물 촉매에서는 글리세롤의 전환율과 프로필렌 글리콜의 선택도가 매우 크게 증가하였다. 반응온도가 증가함에 따라 글리세롤의 전환율은 점차 증가하지만 프로필렌 글리콜의 선택도는 $200^{\circ}C$에서 최대값을 보이다가 $250^{\circ}C$에서는 오히려 감소하였다. 글리세롤의 농도가 커질수록 글리세롤의 전환율과 프로필렌 글리콜의 선택도가 감소하였다.

본 연구는 프로필렌글리콜을 분석하기 위한 시료 전처리방법 및 GC조건을 확립한 후, 이 방법을 토대로 다양한 시료들을 분석하여, 분석법의 적용가능 여부를 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 전처리방법, 컬럼 및 GC조건을 달리하여 실험하였고, HP-5 capillary column을 사용하여 프로필렌글리콜 표준용액을 3회 반복하여 GC/FID로 분석한 결과, 표준편차는 0.30, 상대표준편차는 0.42%를 나타냈으며 검량선을 통해 상관계수$(R^2)$가 0.9996임을 확인하였다. 또한 밀가루 반죽에 표준시료를 첨가 후 회수율을 측정한 결과, 101.60%의 회수율을 보였다. 이상의 조건으로 117개 식품에 대한 프로필렌글리콜 함량을 조사한 결과, 대부분의 시료에서 프로필렌글리콜이 검출되었다. 프로필렌글리콜의 경우 물, 알코올과 잘 혼화되고 독성이 약하며 식품첨가물로 사용할 경우 유화안정제, 보습제, 습윤제, 향료 등의 역할을 하여 견과류가공품, 아이스크림류, 주류, 유제품 등에 다양하게 쓰이고 있기 때문에, 대부분의 시료에서 프로필렌글리콜이 검출되는 것으로 생각되며, 앞으로도 식품에 프로필렌글리콜을 첨가물로서 사용하는 추세가 계속 지속될 것이라고 판단된다.

To develop a poloxamer-based solid suppository with poloxamer and polyethylene glycol mixtures, the melting point of various formulations composed of P 188 and propylene glycol were investigated. The dissolution and antitumor activity of clotrimazole delivered by the poloxamer-based suppository were performed. The poloxamer mixtures composed of P 188 and propylene glycol were homogeneous phases. P 188 greatly affected the melting point of poloxamer mixtures. In particular, the poloxamer mixture [P 188/propylene glycol(70/30%)] with the melting point of about $32^{\circ}C$ was a solid form at room temperature and instantly melted at physiological temperature. Furthermore, the ratio of P 188/propylene glycol greatly affected the dissolution rates of clotrimazole from poloxamer-based suppository. It gave the more effective anti-tumor activity than conventional PEG-based suppository due to fast dissolution. Thus, the clotrimazole-Ioaded poloxamer-based solid suppository was an effective rectal dosage form with anti-tumor activity.
