The action of aconite on the sodium plus potassium activated ATPase activity in the rabbit red cell membrane has been investigated and the experiments were also designed to determine the mechanism of action of aconite on the ATPase activity. The following results were observed. 1. The activity of the NaK ATPase from red cell membrane is stimulated by aconite, and the concentration of aconite for maximal activity is about 80 mg%. The pH optimum for the aconite sensitive component is 8.0. 2. The activating effect of aconite on the ATPase, with a given concentration of sodium in the medium, is increased by raising the potassium concentration but activity ratio is decreased. 3. The activating effect of aconite on the ATPase, with a given concentration of potassium in the medium, is increased by raising the sodium concentration but activity ratio is decreased. 4. The action of aconite on the ATPase activity is inhibited by calcium ions and the effect of inhibition is increased by small amounts of calcium but decreased by larger amounts. 5. The activating effect of aconite on the ATPase was not related to the sulfhydryl group of cysteine, the amino group of lysine, the hydroxyl group of threonine or the imidazole group of histidine. 6. The action of aconite on the ATPase activity is due to carboxyl group of the enzyme of NaK ATPase.

고환암에서 mesna는 ifosfamide와 병용 투여하면 요관 계통의 부작용을 방지할 수 있으며, adriamycin과 같이 사용하는 경우 항암제의 세포증식 억제능을 감소시키지 않으면서 부작용을 경감 시킨다. 방사선 보호제의 sulfhydryl가 방사선에 의하여 발생하는 hydroxyl 유리기와 반응하여 조직을 보호할 수 있고, 역시 체내에서 유리기를 발생하는 adriamycin의 독작용을 musua가 감소시키는 사실에 근거하여, 쥐에 mesna와 방사선을 투여하여 mesna의 방사선보호 작용을 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서는 방사선 단독 처치군과 mesna와 방사선 처치군에서 고환의 수정관 내의 배아세포의 수와 형태적 변화를 현미경 하에서 매주 비교하고 재생 능력의 차이를 확인하였다. 양쪽 군에서 공히 초기에 세포 수가 감소하고 후기에 다시 세포가 증식 하였으며, 가장 세포 수가 적게 관찰된 시기는 방사선 조사 후 3주 째였다. 모든 관찰 기간에서 mesna 처치군의 평균 배아 세포수가 방사선 단독 처치군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 많이 관찰되었고(p<0.05), 또한 mesna 처치군에서 더 유효한 세포 재생 능력이 있음이 관찰되었다. 이는 mesna가 방사선 상해로부터 고환의 수정관 내 배아세포를 보호하고 있음을 입증하는 것으로 사료된다. Mesna가 고환 이외의 다른 조직을 방사선으로부터 보호할 수 있는지의 여부와 종양의 관해율을 저해하지 않을지에 대하여는 더 이상의 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae에서 얻은 purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP)의 반응 기작을 밝히기 위해 반응속도론적 분석이 수행되어졌다. 반응기작에 PNP${\cdot}$phosphate와 PNP${\cdot}$ribose 1-phosphate의 binary complex가 형성되는 것으로 추정되어진다. Initial velocity와 product inhibition study의 결과는 반응이 ordered bi, bi reaction으로 일어난다는 것과 일치하고 있다. 두 개의 기질중 무기인산이 효소에 먼저 붙고, 그 다음에 nucleoside, 그리고 base가 효소를 떠나는 첫 번째 생성물이고 마지막으로 ribose 1-phosphate가 생성되고 효소는 원래의 상태로 돌아간다. 반응속도론적 분석에 이해 제안된 작용기작은 sulfhydryl reagents인 p-chloromercuribenzoate(PCMB) and 5,5'-dithiobisnitrobenzoate (DTNB)에 의한 효소의 불활성화에 대한 기질으 보호작용의 결과와 일치하고 있다. PNP는 ribose 1-phosphate와 phosphate에 의해 보호되지만 nucleoside나 base에 의해서는 아무런 효과과 없다는 사실은 반응 순서가 효소에 무기인산이 먼저 붙는 ordered bi, bi 기작이라는 것을 지지하고 있다. PCMB 나 DTNB에 의해 불활성화된 PNP는 dithiothreitol(DTT)에 의해서는 활성이 완전히 회복되고 2-mercaptoethanol에 의해서는 77%의 활성이 회복된다는 사실은 효소의 불활성화가 가역적이라는 것을 시사하고 있다. PCMB에 의해 불활성화된 효소는 inosine이 변화하는 기질일때 정상효소보다 높은 $K_m$과 낮은 $V_m$ 값을 보여주고 이런 현상은 DTT 처리시 원래의 상태로 돌아온다. DTNB에 의해 불활성화된 효소는 PCMB 처리시와 비슷하게 정상효소보다 높은 $V_m$ 값을 보이지만 $V_m$ 값은 큰 변화가 없다. S. cerevisiae PNP에서 발견되는 높은 무기인산의 농도에서의 하위단위체간의 음성적 협동성이 PCMB나 DTNB를 처리한 PNP에서는 보이지 않았다.

미강의 산소 농도를 제한하고 상대습도 65% 온도 $35^{\circ}C$의 저장 조건하에서 함유 지방질의 가수분해를 최대한 유도한 시료와 온도 $25-30^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 70-80%인 공기중에 방치하여 함유 지방질의 가수분해와 지방질의 산화를 동시에 유도한 미강을 시료로 하여 지방의 산화양상에 따른 단백질의 물리 화학적인 변화 즉, sulfhydryl과 disulfide group, 단백질의 용해도, 유효성 lysine, protease의 활성변화 등을 실험하였다. 산소 농도를 제한한 system에서는 지방질의 가수분해는 급격히 일어난 반면 산화는 서서히 진행되었고, 공기 중에 방치한 system에서는 지방질의 가수분해와 자동산화가 현저하게 진행되었다. 이때 각종 단백질 기능기의 함량의 감소현상은 저장기간보다 지방의 산패 정도와 더 깊은 상관성을 보였다. 지방질의 산패와 주요 단백질 기능기함량과의 상관계수는 두 system 모두에서 -0.8 이상으로서, 지방질의 산패는 단백질의 이화학적인 변화에 중요한 영향을 미침이 관찰되었다(p<0.05).

In this study, we investigated the effects by age of long-tenn supplementation of Epimedium koreanum Nakai (EKN)-containing water on the in vivo antioxidant capacities of rats. All rats were reared in a conventional system, and none of the rats showed any signs of aversion to the EKN solution. Neither the mean nor maximum life spans of the rats were extended by long-tenn administration of the solution. The EKN extract caused decreases in the levels of serum thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in the rats. The activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione (GSH) peroxidase within the liver cytosol decreased with age in both the control and EKN-supplemented groups. GSH peroxidase activity, however, was higher at old age in the EKN-supplemented group. The activities of GSH reductase and GSH-S-transferase, and the levels of free-sulfhydryl (SH) and total-SH group gradually decreased with age in both groups. However, there was some tendency for higher levels in the EKN supplemented group at a corresponding age. These results indicate that long-tenn supplementation of EKN water extracts alone does not exhibit discernible adverse effects in rats, and has some enhancing effects on the antioxidant capacities of the blood and liver, but it does not have life-prolonging effects.
