  • For the evaluation of the role of substituents of ar-turmerone for its anticancer activity, ar-turmerone (1a) and its analogs like 2-methyl-6-(4'-methyphenyl)-2-octen-4-one (1b), 2-methyl-6-phenyl-2-hepten-4-one (1c), 2-methyl-6-phenyl-2-octen-4-one (1d) and 2 methyl-6-(trans-4'-methylcyclohexyl)-2-hepten-4-one (1e) were preparedd and their cytotoxic activities against $L_{1210}$ cell were determined. Omission of methyl group at para-position dose not variate the cytotoxicity of ar-turmerone. Elongation of alkyl group at 6-position decreases $ED_{50}$ value. Saturation of aromatic ring of ar-turmerone markedly decreases the cytotoxicity. Therefore the smaller size of alkyl group at 6-position and aromatic ring of ar-turmerone should be essential for exhibiting its anticancer activity.

  • Repeated column chromatography of the CHCI_3-soluble fraction of Zingiber zerumbet led to the isolation and identification of two aromatic compounds, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (1) and vanillin (2), and six kaempferol derivatives, kaempferol-3,4',7-O-trimethylether (3), kaempferol-3-O-methylether (4), kaempferol-3,4'-O-dimethylether (5), 4'-O-acetylafzel in (6), kaempferol-3-O-(4-O-acetyl-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranoside)], 2',4'-O-diacetylafzelin (7), kaempferol-3-O-(2,4-O-diacetyl-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranoside)], and 3',4'-O-diacetylafzelin (8), kaempferol-3-O-(3,4-O-diacetyl-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranoside)]. The structures of 1-8 were identifed by analysis of spectroscopic data as well as by comparison with published values. This is the first report on the isolation of compounds 1-3 from this plant.

  • The effect of chemical additives, such as dimethyl ether(DME), ethanol, carbon disulfide on the soot formation were examined numerically. ill this study, the Frenklach soot mechanism was used as a base mechanism to predict the soot formation in the ethane flame. The combination of Westbrook's DME mechanism, Marinov's ethanol mechanism, and chemical kinetic mechanism for hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide flames was made with the base mechanism because the DME, ethanol, $CS_2$ additives are added into the ethane fuel. CHEMKIN code was used as a numerical analysis software to simulate the effect of chemical additives on reduction of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAH's) which are soot precursors. From the numerical results it is observed that addition of DME, ethanol and $CS_2$ into ethane fuel can reduce PAH species significantly. That means theses additives can reduce soot formation significantly. Results also strongly suggest suppression of soot formation by these additives to be mainly a chemical effect. Hand OH radicals may be the key species to the reduction of PAH species for additives.
