Bobitang(BBT) is one of the most important prescription that has been used in oriental medicine(dongyibogam) for recovering spleen condition. The study was done to evaluate effects of BBT water extract on the spleen lipid peroxide content and metabolic enzyme system changes. After pretreatment of BBT I (100mg/kg), BBT II(250mg/kg), BBT III(350mg/kg), BBT IV(500mg/kg) for 1 week, lipid peroxide content and metabolic enzyme system changes of the spleen was measured in 8 months rats. The results were obtained as follows : 1. The content of spleen lipid peroxide was significantly decreased in all experimental groups as compared with control, and best in BBT III IV treated groups. 2. The activity of spleen superoxide generation was significantly decreased in all experimental groups as compared with control, and best in BBT IV III treated groups. 3. The activity of cytochrome P-450 and aminopyrine demethylase wasn't significant change. 4. The activity of aniline hydroxylase was significantly decreased in BBT IV II treated groups, xanthine oxidase was significantly decreased in all experimental groups, aldehyde oxidase was significantly decreased in BBT IV treated group as compared with control. 5. The activity of antioxidant enzymes as superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase was significantly increased in all experimental groups as compared with control. 6. The activity of glutathion S-transferase was significantly increased in all experimental groups, the concentration of spleen glutathione was significantly increased in BBT IV treated group as compared with control. 7. The activity of ${\gamma}$ -glutamylcystein synthetase was significantly increased in BBT III IV I treated groups as compared with control, the activity of glutathione reductase wasn't significant change. From the above results, BBT is cosidered to have effect of remove peroxide content and free radical that was made during ageing process. It is expected that treatment of BBT can be applied in future clinical study of delaying the ageing process.

A series of new dimesogenic compounds having two identical, terminal Schiff base type mesogens and a central tetramethylene spacer were synthesized. Their thermotropic and mesomorphic properties of the compounds were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing microscopy. The compounds with X= -F, -Cl, -Br, -CN and $-OCH_3$ were enantiotropically nematic liquid crystal. In contrast, the compounds with X= -I and $-CF_3$ were non-liquid crystal. The nematic forming efficiency of the groups was in the order of -CN > $-OCH_3$ > -Br > -Cl > -F.

In order to synthesize the dye suitable for supercritical carbon dioxide(ScCO2) dyeing, a series of azo based disperse dyes were prepared using various aniline derivatives as diazo components and indol derivatives as coupling components. Dyeing process in ScCO2 of the synthesized dyes was performed on PET fiber at 120℃ for 2 hrs under 250bar pressure with 0.5% o.w.f. of dye concentration. The absorption maxima varied from 400 to 580nm depending on the substituted groups in aniline derivatives and the indol derivatives. The dyes showed high molar extinction coefficients(ε) of 27,000~61,000M-1cm-1. Dyed PET fiber exhibited excellent brightness and good light, washing and perspiration(acid/alkali) fastness properties.

To elucidate the effect of acute ethanol pretreatment on some toluene metabolizing enzyme activities, rats were divided into 4groups: control, alcohol-treated, toluene-treated, rat's and toluene-treated rats pretreated with ethanol. The alcohol or toluene-treated rats showed the significantly increased activities of hepatic aniline hydroxylase(AH) and aminopyrine demethylase(AD) compared to the control group. And the toluene-treated rats pretreated with ethanol showed somewhat decreased tendency of these enzyme activities compared to only toluene-treated rats. Liver benzylalcohol or aldehyde dehydrogenase activities were higher in alcohol or toluene-treated rats than those of the control group. The toluene-treated rats showed the decreased tendency of benzylalcohol dehydrogenase activities by the pretreatment of alcohol. Furthermore, toluene treated-rats showed the markedly decreased activity of benzaldehyde dehydrogenase by the ethanol pretreat-ment. On the other hand, hepatic xanthine oxidase activity in toluene-treated animals pretreated with ethanol was significantly higher than those of the toluene alone-treated rats. These results indicate that the combination of ethanol with toluene treatment for a short period of time possibly results in decreased activity of some toluene metabolizing enzymes in rats.

Porous organic-inorganic hybrids have been prepared from tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and organosilane precursors by sol-gel method. Two organosilanes, 3-(2,4-dinitrophenylamino)propyltriethoxysilane (DNPTES) and N-[[(2-nitrophenyl)methoxy]carbonyl]-3-triethoxysilylpropylamine (NPTES) were used to incorporate electron-accepting (di)nitrophenyl groups into the hybrids. The hybrids were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, and their pore characteristics were studied by nitrogen sorption porosimetry. Surface area of the hybrids ranged from 563 to 770 $m^2$/g, pore volume, 0.23-0.30 $cm^3$/g, and porosity, 35-41%. It was demonstrated by UV-vis spectroscopy that aniline, ethylenediamine, and 1-aminonaphthalene could be removed from their hexane solutions in the presence of the hybrid powders. The removal of amines is attributable to donor-acceptor interaction between the electron-donating amines and electron-accepting (di)nitrophenyl moiety.

To investigate the cyclohexane and xylene mixture treatment on the liver damage, the rats were treated by the mixture of cyclohexane and xylene (CH＋X) and then, liver damage was demonstrated by liver function findings based on liver weight/body weight, serum level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), xanthine oxidase (XO) and then compared with cyclohexane treated group (CH group) and xylene-treated group (X). The CH＋X group showed merely severer liver damge than CH or X group. On the other hand, CH＋X group showed lower activity of hepatic cytochrome P-450 dependent aniline hydroxylase (CYPdAH) than CH or X group, but no statical differences were demonstrated among three experimental groups. Especially the hepatic GSH content was merely declined than CH or X group and the activity of hepatic GST was higher in CH＋X group than CH or X group. In conclusion, cyclohexane and xylene mixture treated animals showed merely severer liver damage than cyclohexane or xylene treated group and such a fact may be caused by inhibition of cyclohexane or xylene metabolism and oxygen free radical.

Telomeres are DNA-protein complexes at the ends of chromosomes, which play an essential protective role against DNA degradation and aberrant recombination during cell divisions. Several telomerase inhibitors have been reported as candidates for new antitumor drugs. Among them, 2-thiobenzylpyridines, developed by Geron. Co Ltd. as a telomerase inhibitor, were chosen as lead compounds. Twenty-one pyridine-2- carboxylate derivatives were prepared by the coupling of 6-formyl-2-carboxylic acid with the corresponding phenol, thiophenol, and aniline, substituted with various functional groups.

Sophoricoside analogs are natural isoflavonoids isolated from fruits of Sophora japonica L. and exhibited an inhibitory effect on IL -5. Many synthetic variations on isoflavonoids has been reported. but relatively few examples of quinolone analogs have been described. As part of our endeavor to develop novel and effective IL-5 inhibitor, we have synthesized azaisoflavones by cyclization of the key intermediate, 2'-aminochalocone obtained from substituted aniline. The synthesized azaisoflavones were evaluated for their inhibitory activtities on IL-5 comparing with natural Sophoricoside analogs. None of the azaisoflavones showed promixing inhibitory effects In the assay. Nevertheless. assay data Indicated that 5.7-phenolic hycroxy groups on the A-ring and alkyl subsitiuent on N1 seemed to play an importnt role in the IL-5 bioassay.

To evaluate an effect of dietary protein on the liver damage, the bromobenzene was intraperitoneally injected to the rats fed a low or high protein diet and then the liver weight per body weight and serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities were determined to demonstrate the differences in liver damage between the groups fed low or high protein diet. Hepatic aniline hydroxylase (AH), glutthione (GSH) content and glutathione s-transferase(GST) activity were also determined to clarify causes of liver damage between the two groups. Increases of liver weight per body weight and serum ALT activities were higher in brombenzene treated rats fed low protein diet than those fed high protein diet. The increasing rate of hepatic AH activity was higher in bromobenzne-treated rats fed low protein diet than that in those fed high protein diet. Furthermore , hepatic glutathione contents and GST activities in bromobenzene-treated rats were higher in rats fed high protein diet than those fed low protein diet. In case of control group, the heaptic glutathione content and GST activity were also higher in rats fed high protein diet than those fed low protein diet.

Biologically, MGK-264 (N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide) acts as a synergists for insecticides mainly pyrethrins and pyrethroids. It's used extensively in combination with pyrethrin and piperonyl butoxide and also with personal insect repellent and cockroach repellents. But the toxic effect of MGK-264 in mamalians was a relatively little known therefore in this studies it was initiated to examine the toxic effect of MGK -264 in rats. For 5 weeks it administrated daily in each 250 mg and 500 mg of MGK-264 per kg of body weight in rats. 1) The body weight gain and the LYMPH (%) value in blood were observed a slight tendency to reduce in accordance with amount of dose and number treatment time. 2) The content of cytochrome P-450 and activity of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase were decreased in liver and those were observed some tendency in the kidney as liver but not significant. 3) The liver cholinesterase activity in the both 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg per kg of body weight with treated groups and the liver aniline hydroxylase in 500 mg/kg treated group were gradually decreased from 4 weeks after treated groups. In consequence it would sugested that the toxic effect of MGK-264 was low but in could offer hazard effect in liver and nervers system of rats if it was administrated move dose of MGK-264 and agumented in number of treated time.
