Four known cardiotonic steroids were isolated from roots of Adonis amurensis Regel et Radde and identified as digitoxigenin, cymarin, K-strophanthin and convallatoxin by chromatography on Amberlite XAD-2 resin and silica gel, high performance liquid chromatography and gel chromatography on Sephadex LH-20. In order to clarify the structure-activity relationship, thirteen related compounds of digitoxigenin were tested for the inhibitory activities for $Na^+,\;K^+$-adenosine triphosphatase from guinea pig heart. The inhibitory activities of related compounds of digitoxigenin were dependent upon the dicarboxylic acid and amino acid components. The compound having both the arginine and suberic acid moiety showed the higher inhibitory activity. The sulfate and glucuronide of digitoxigenin exhibited much less potency than the parent genin.

Taihu Lake is a major water source for part of Yangtze Delta, which is one of the most urbanized and economically prosperous areas in China. In last couple of decades, some parts of the lake were highly polluted due to eutrophication. This study analyzed dioxin-like potential and mutagenic potential in surface water samples from Taihu Lake. The samples were prepared by XAD-2 resin procedure. A batch of biological assays, including dioxin-like potential microassay with the rat hepatocyte cell line H411E, and Ames test was employed in the research. Results showed that jour water samples have high content of dioxin-like biological potential, the highest activity TEQ to 2,3,7,8-TCDD was 48 pg/ι in sample 1. The mutagenic effect with reading-frame shifting mechanism was confirmed in 3 of 4 samples. The effective sewage treatment facilities and reliable monitoring surveillance system are urgently needed for this area.

The alkylphenols, chlorophenols and bisphenol A were determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrom-etry-selected ion monitoring (GC/MS-SIM) mode followed by two work-up methods for comparison; isoBOC derivatization method and TBDMS derivatization method. Eleven phenols in paper samples were extracted with acetonitrile. Also, solid -phase extraction (SPE) with XAD -4 and subsequent conversion to isobutoxycarbonyl derivatives or tert.-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives for sensitive analysis with the selected ion-monitoring (SIM) mode. The SIM responses were linear with the correlation coefficient varying 0.9717 ∼ 0.9995 (isoBOC derivatization), and 0.9842 ∼ 0.9980 (TBDMS derivatization). The recoveries were 82.4 ∼ 108.8％) by area ratio of phenanthrene -d$\_$10/ vs bisphenol A-d$\^$l6/. (isoBOC derivatization and TBDMS derivatization) The range of concentrations was respectively, 0.95 ∼ 1.44 ng/g in 2,4-dichlorophenol, 1.01 ∼ 1.17 ng/g in t-butylphenol,2.17 ∼ 5.84 ng/g in pentachlorophenol, 12.68 ∼ 14.88 ng/g in nonylphenol and 30.84 ∼ 153.72 ng/g in bisphenol A.

Antineoplastic agents may exhibit effects not only in patients therapeutically exposed, but also in health workers who prepare and administer these drugs. This study was done to clarify whether nurses who handle anticancer drugs show signs of drug absorption. The experimental group was 14 nurses handling anticancer drugs at three medical wards of a hospital in J city ; the control group was 12 psychiatric nurses at the same hospital. The test materials were the nurses' 24hr urine specimens, which were concentrated by XAD-2 column chromatograpy. Tester strains were TA98(±S9mix), TA100(±S9 mix), TA1535(±S9 mix) and TA1537(±S9 mix) : the salmonella mammalian microsomal test (Ames test) was used for the urinary mutagenicity assay. The results are summarized as follow : 1. In qualitative analysis of the results, both experimental group and control group showed 15.4% urine toxicity. 2. The experimental group revealed significantly higher urinary mutagenicity both in the activation method test and non-activation method test of the tester strains TA98, TA100 and TA1535. In the case of TA1537, the two groups showed no difference in the non-activation method test, but the activation method revealed a difference. 3. In urinary mutagenicity of the experimental group by ward career, there was a significant difference between the group with more than 20 months experience and the group with less than 20 months on the tester strains TA98, TA100, and TA1537. No Significant difference was found between two groups by the tester strain TA1535.

The serine proteases such as human leukocyte elastase (HLE) and porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) are classified in the chymotrypsin family, and possibly the most destructive enzymes having the ability to degrade virtually all of the connective components in the body. In the present study, the extracts of water and methanol of Korean mistletoe (Viscum album var. coloratum) inhibited significantly the PPE activity. The fractions eluated on Amberlite XAD-2 from methanol extract were further purified on the repeated $SiO_2$ column chromatography and the fractions A, B and C were eluated. The fractions A, B and C at 3 mg/ml inhibited significantly the PPE activity up to 66%, 95% and 85%, respectively. In conclusion, the fraction A assumed as lignans or phenylpropanes, and fraction B and C assumed as triterpenoids showed the PPE inhibitory effects on the PPE and that these compounds in mistletoe may be used for treatment of pathological processes such as age-dependent tissue loss or inflammation.

A micro organism Agrobacterium tumifacient as an immobilized cell on a solid support was presented as a new biosorbent in a simple and sensitive spectrophotometry determination of Ni(II) in various samples using 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde-4-bromophenyl hydrazone as a color developing agent (λmax 497 nm) at pH 4.0 ± 0.2. Beer's law was obeyed over the range of 0.01-0.1 μg L-1. The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity were 1.285 × 105 L mol-1cm-1 and 0.007245 μg cm-2 respectively. Under these conditions, the preconcentration factor obtained was 82, and the detection limit achieved was 0.05 μg L-1. The detailed study of various interfering ions made the method more sensitive and selective. The recovery of Ni(II) from various samples range from 97.75 to 99.35%. The present method was successfully applied for the determination of Ni(II) in spiked, natural water and alloy samples. The proposed method was compared with reported methods in terms of Student's ‘t'-test and Variance ratio ‘f'-test which indicates that there is no significant difference between proposed and literature method at 95% confidence level.

한의학에서 당뇨병(소갈) 처방으로 사용되는 육미지황환의 성분 중의 하나인 목단피의 혈당 강하 효과를 조사하기 위해서 목단피를 70% 에탄올로 추출한 후 XAD-4 column으로 분획하여 인슐린 민감성을 향상시키고 ${\alpha}-glucoamylase$ 활성을 억제하는 분획층이 있는지를 조사하였다. 3T3-L1 지방세포에서 소량의 인슐린(1 ng/mL)의 존재하에서 20, 40, 60% 메탄올 분획층은 인슐린 작용을 증가시켜 포도당 흡수를 효과적으로 증가시키는 인슐린 민감성 성분이 함유되어 있었다. 또한 20, 40, 60, 80% 메탄올 분획층에는 ${\alpha}-glucoamylase$의 활성을 억제하여 말토즈와 dextrin의 ${\alpha}-glucoamylase$ 결합이 분해되는 것을 억제시키는 성분이 함유되어 있었다. In vivo에서 실험동물에게 목단피의 70% 메탄올 추출물을 투여한 후 말토즈와 dextrin로 경구부하 검사를 하였을 때 dextrin만이 투여하였을 때에 대조군인 셀룰로즈에 비해 혈당의 상승이 현저하게 낮았고 이것은 dextrin의 소화 흡수의 감소에 의한 것으로 추정된다. 앞으로 효과가 있는 분획층을 더 분리하여 인슐린 민감성 물질과 ${\alpha}-glucoamylase$의 활성을 억제시키는 유효성분을 분리하고자 한다.

한의학에서 당뇨병 (소갈) 처방으로 사용되는 옥천산 처방의 성분 중의 하나인 오미자의 포도당 이용에 대한 효과를 조사하기 위해서 오미자를 70% 에탄올로 추출한 후 메탄올과 물을 섞은 용액으로 단계별로 XAD-4 column 으로 분획하였다. 오미자를 복용한 후 혈당을 낮추기 위해서는 인슐린처럼 작용하는 인슐린성 물질이거나, 인슐린 작용을 향상시키는 인슐린 민감성 물질로 작용하거나, 또는 ${\alpha}-glucoamylase$ 활성을 억제하여 탄수화물의 소화를 방해 작용이 있어야 하므로 본 연구에서는 섬유아세포와 지방세포 3T3-L1에서 각 분획층이 이러한 3가지 기전에 관여하는 지를 조사하였다. 오미자 분획물은 인슐린성 물질로 작용하거나 ${\alpha}-glucoamylase$의 활성을 저하시켜 탄수화물의 소화를 방해하지 않았다. 그러나 오미자 분획층은 인슐린의 작용을 향상시켜 포도당의 흡수를 증가시키는 효과가 매우 컸다. 특히 오미자 분획층 중 Fr. 4(메탄올 60%)와 Fr. 5(메탄올 80%)는 지방세포 3T3-L1에서 포도당의 흡수를 현저하게 증가시켜 인슐린을 50 ng/ml를 처리한 것보다도 효과적으로 포도당 흡수를 증가시켰다. Fr. 4와 Fr. 5에서 포도당 흡수가 증가한 것은 Fr. 4와 5가 인슐린 작용을 향상시켜 세포막에 GLUT4양을 증가시진 결과이었다. 결론적으로 오미자 중 특히 Fr. 4와 Fr. 5에 인슐린 민감성 제제가 함유되어 있을 것으로 추정된다.

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate anti-tumor activity and detect what compounds affect its activity form $Alpinia$ $officinarum$ Hance. Two fractions, methanol and ethylacetate, were isolated by Amberlite XAD-2 resin column chromatography from methanol extract of the rhizomes of $Alpinia$ $officinarum$. In hollow fiber assay, the methanol extract and methanol fraction were found to inhibit the tumor growth against colon tumor cell lines such as Colo-320, HCT116 and WiDr. Three diarylheptanoids [5-hydroxy-1,7-diphenyl-3-heptanone, 5-hydroxy-7-(4"-hydroxy-3"-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-3-heptanone and 3,5-dihydroxy-1,7-diphenylheptane] and two flavonoids [galangin and kaempheride] were isolated and identified from the methanol fraction, which is higher activity than ethylacetate fraction. Among these diarylheptanoids and flavonoids, 3,5-dihydroxy-1,7-diphenylheptane, galangin and kaempheride as active components on anti-tumor activity were mainly posited in methanol fraction.
