The paper presented here is aimed at increasing knowledge on purine metabolism in ruminants and hence the quantification of microbial cells entering the small intestine from urinaη excretion of purine derivatives. Nucleic acid metabolisms of micro-organisms in the rumen, digestion and absorption of nucleic acids entering the intestines, metabolisms of absorbed and endogenous purines involving de novo synthesis of nucleic acids in the ruminants host, and the relationship between absorbed and excreted purines are reviewed. Principal concerns about an amount of purine derivatives excreted in urine in relation to a change in purine-N: total-N ratios in rumen microbes that leave the rumen are discussed. The use of urinary excretion of purine derivatives as an indicator of the amount of microbial biomass leaving the rumen has to be done with some caution since it may be impossible to get a representative sample of microbes entering the intestine and thus yield estimates are relative rather than absolute.

The effects of purine catabolites in growth media on the Serratia marcescens purine nucleoside phos-phorylase activity were examined. The enzyme activity was decreased above 60% by guanosine(5 to 15mM). The enzyme activity was not affected at low concentration of inosine (0.1∼1mM). The en-zyme activity was decreased approximately by 40∼50% in the presence of high concentrations of aden-osine hypoxanthine and xanthine (5∼15mM) but was not affected at low concentration of adenosine hypoxanthine and xanthine (0.1∼0.5mM). However the enzyme activity was increase by 20% with low concentrations of uric acid(0.5mN). but was decreased by 80% with high concentrations of same purine catabolite (15mM). Also the enxzyme activity was increased by 20% with low concentrations of glyoxylate (0.5mM) final degradative product of uric acid but was decreased by 30∼50% with high con-centrations of glyoxylate (3∼15mM). The enzyme activity was decreased approximately by 20% by the simultaneous addition of inosine hypoxanthine and uricacid at 5mM each whereas it was increased by 22 and 33% by the combination of inosine and uric acid three purine catabolites at 0.5mM respectively These data suggest that S. marcescens purine nucleoside phosphorylase is positively regulated by a glyox-ylate concentration and then may play a regulatory role in a purine catabolism.

We have synthesized various 6-substituted 2-oxo-purine nucleosides from key intemediate, 6-[(4-methylphenylthio)-2-oxo-9(2, 3, 5tri-o-acetyl-$\beta$-D-ribofuanoslyl)]-2, 3- dihydropurine in relatively high yields by one step nucleophilic substitution. Various isoguanosine, xanthosine analogs and other 2-oxo-purine nucleosides containing nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen at C-6 of purine base were easily obtained by this method. The structures of the products were established on the basis of their spectral data studies. And cytotoxicity of resulting synthetic 6-substituted-2-oxo-purine nucleosides against some tumor cell-lines was examined. $Ed_{50}$ values of these synthetic compounds were above $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ except isoguanosine, $N^6$-methyl isoguanosine and thioxanthosine analogs.

Purine type compounds has been recently reported to cause the death for lung cancer cell, related to microtubules-targeting agents (MTAs). Therefore it can be used to develop as theranostic radiopharmceuticals in nuclear medicine or gadolinium-based MRI imaging agents by chelate chemistry. In the study, we tried to chemically bind a DOTA chelate on the end of purine compound and obtained a specific conjugate of DOTA-purine for metal coordination. In particular, radiometal like Cu-64, for the development of MRI imaging agents, can be utilized to choice good candidates before the synthesis of gadolinium complexes. By the screening of radioisotope technique, Gd-DOTA-purine type complex was successfully prepared and showed MRI imaging for lung cancer cell into the mouse model.

Urinary purine derivatives and creatinine excretion was measured in a total of 4 white Alpine sheep. They were given diets 718 to 1060 g/kg dry matter (DM) of roughage. The crude protein content of this diets was on average $93.87{\pm}5.57g$ in kg DM. Purine derivatives-N excretion increased linearly with incremental DM intake and was significantly correlated (n = 16) with amounts of digestible organic matter (DOM) intake: allantoin-N (mg) = 1.205 (${\pm}0.070$) $\times$ DOM (g) - 136.709 (${\pm}37.399$), r = 0.9770, RSD = 22.97; uricacid-N (mg) = 0.131 (${\pm}0.041$) $\times$ DOM (g) + 11.380 (${\pm}21.881$), r = 0.6306, RSD = 13.44; Hypoxanthine-N (mg) = 0.049 (${\pm}0.014$) $\times$ DOM (g) - 28.640 (${\pm}7.708$), r = 0.6544, RSD = 4.73; total purine derivatives-N (mg) = 1.385 (${\pm}0.083$) $\times$ DOM (g) - 90.261 (${\pm}44.552$), r = 0.9706, RSD = 27.47. Microbial protein synthesis per kg DOM was estimated of 113 g. The urinary creatinine-N excretion was on average 9.10 mg/kg live weight (LW) with a standard error of 0.12 mg creatinine-N per kg LW. The excretion of creatinine excreton was not related to feed intake. Daily creatinine excretion (mg/d) was calculated from individual LW measurements and the average creatinine excretion (mg/kg LW). It was possible to predict the daily urinary purine derivatives excretion (r = 0.9720 for allantoin, r = 0.9886 for total purine derivatives) from the ratio of purine derivatives (mg/100 ml) and creatinine (mg/100 ml) in the urine and the daily creatinine excretion.

This study has developed Corynebacterium ammoniagenes (c. ammoniagenes) purine gene transcriptional reporters (purF-lacZ and purE-lacZ) that function in Escherichia coli (E. coli) DH5a. After transformation of a C. ammoniagenes gDNA library into E. coli cells harboring either purF-lacZ or purE-lacZ, C. ammoniagenes clones were obtained that repress purF-lacZ and purE-lacZ gene expression. The potential purE and purF regulatory genes are homologous to the genes encoding transcription regulators, the regulatory subunit of RNA polymerase, and genes for purine nucleotide biosynthesis of various bacteria. The C. ammoniagenes purE-lacZ and purF-lacZ reporters were repressed by adenine and guanine within E. coli, indicating similarity in the regulatory mechanism of purine biosynthesis in C. ammoniagenes and E. coli. Gene regulation of pur-lacZ by adenine and guanine was partly abolished in cells expressing potential purine regulatory genes, indicating functionality of the purine gene regulators in repression of purE-lacZ and purF-lacZ. The purE-lacZ and purF-lacZ reporters can be used for the screening of genes involved in the regulation of the de novo synthesis of the purine nucleotides.

Cycloheximide와 nalidixic acid를 각각 처리한 배지에 Aspergillus phoenicis, Rhizopus acidus, Candida albicans를 배양하는 동안에 이들 세포에서 항생물질이 DNA 합성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 가를 대조구와 비교 분석하였다. Cycloheximide 처리구에서의 DNA 염기 함량은 A. phoenicis에서 대조구에 비해 adenine 20.4%, thymine 43.1%, cytosine 40.9%, guanine 35.3%가 감소되어 purine기, pyrimidine기가 각각 32.2%, 42.7% 억제 현상을 나타내었다. R. acidus에서는 adenine이 34.2%, thymine이 42.1%, cytosine은 38.0%, guanine은 18.1%가 감소됨으로 purine기와 pyrimidine기가 24.1%와 40.0%로 저해되었다. 그리고 C. albicans의 염기 조성은 adenine이 58.3%, thymine이 58.5%로 대조구에 비해 억제되었고 cytosine은 58.1%, guanine은 42.4%가 감소되어 purine기 46.8%, pyrimidine기 58.8%의 억제를 보여주었다. Nalidixic acid 처리구에서는 A. phoenicis에서 adenine 41.6%, thymine 47.1%, cytosine 59.3%, guanine 46.3%가 저해되어 purine기 45.6%, pyrimidine기 57.2%가 감소되었다. R. acidus에서의 염기함량은 adenine 59.1%, thymine 54.7%, cytosine 35.3%, guanine 37.4% 감소로 purine기 45.9%, pyrimidine기 44.9%가 대조구에 비해 억제 효과를 보여주었다. C. albicans에서는 adenine이 60.1%, thymine이 68.6%, cytosine이 60.7%, guanine이 40.0% 저해되어 purine기는 45.8%, pyrimidine기는 63.5% 감소현상을 보였다. 이들 3 균주의 DNA 생합성에서 purine기 보다는 pyrimidine기가 cycloheximide와 nalidixic acid에 의해 뚜렷한 저해 효과를 나타내는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 실험에서 cycloheximide보다는 nalidixic acid가 DNA 생합성에 현저한 억제작용을 하는 것으로 분석되었다.

Serratia marcescens purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) was purfied to homogeneity by streptomycin sulfate treatment, Sephacry HR S-200 gel filtration chromatography and AMP-agarose affinity chromatography. The specific activity of the enzyme was increased 49-fold during purification with an overall yield of 7.0%. The molecular weight was 168kD as estimated by Sephadex G-150 gel filtration chromatography. The S. marcescens enzyme was composed of six identical subunits with subunit molecular weight of 28kD, as estimated by SDS-PAGE. The Km values of S. marcescens enzyme for inosine and deoxyinsoine were 0.38 and 1.20 mM, respectively. The ph optimum was near 8.0, and the enzyme was relatively heat-stable protein. The enzyme was inactivated com-pletely by 0.5 mM of $Cu^{ 2+}$.
