Cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2) is a member of the cytochrome P450 family of isozymes involved in the phase I drug metabolism of vertebrates. CYP1A2 is responsible for the activation of a number of aromatic amines to mutagenic and carcinogenic forms. Thus, the level of CYP1A2, which varies among different populations, may determine an individual's susceptibility to these chemicals. We have previously reported on the importance of a cis element named PRB (protected region B) in the regulation of human Cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2) gene, which appeared to act as a positive regulatory element. Closer examination of the PRB sequence (-2218 to -2187 bp) revealed a putative AP-1 binding site, TGACTAA, at -2212 bp (Chung and Bresnick, 1997). To elucidate the role of AP-1 in CYP1A2 regulation, we transiently overexpressed c-Jun and c-Fos transcription factors in human hepatoma HepG2 cells, and examined their influence on the CYP1A2 promoter activity by reporter gene assays. Cotransfection of the c-Jun and the c-Fos expression vectors increased the induced transactivation by five to six fold from the CYP1A2 promoter constructs. However, deletion of the PRB element did not affect the degree of activation by the c-Jun and the c-Fos. Therefore, it is unlikely that the c-Jun and the c-Fos activate the CYP1A2 promoter through this AP-1 consensus-like sequence in the PRB region.

Owing to the increase in price of cigarettes in Korea, herbal cigarettes have received increasing attention as a non-smoking aid; however, its safety has hardly been studied. We analyzed some of the toxic components in the mainstream smoke of herbal cigarettes, performed a mutagenicity test on smoke condensates for safety assessment, and compared the results with the corresponding values of a general cigarette with the same tar content. Herbal cigarette "A" was smoked using automatic smoking machine under ISO conditions in a manner similar to general cigarette "T". The tar content measured was higher than that inscribed on the outside of a package. The mainstream smoke of herbal cigarette "A" did not contain detectable levels of tobacco-specific nitrosamines and nicotine. Carbon monoxide and benzo(${\alpha}$)pyrene contents in herbal cigarette "A" were higher than those in the general cigarette "T". The phenolic contents such as hydroquinone, resorcinol, and catechol in herbal cigarette "A" were higher than those in the general cigarette "T", but cresol contents in herbal cigarette "A" were lower than those in the general cigarette "T". The content of aromatic amines such as 4-aminobiphenyl in herbal cigarette "A" was higher than that in the general cigarette "T"; however, this difference was not statistically significant. On the other hand, 1-aminonaphthalene, 2-aminonaphthalene, and 3-aminobiphenyl contents in herbal cigarette "A" were lower than those in the general cigarette "T". The smoke condensates of herbal cigarette "A" exhibited a higher mutagenic potential than the condensates from the general cigarette "T" at the same concentration. We concluded that the mainstream smoke of herbal cigarette contains some toxic components, the smoke condensates of herbal cigarettes are mutagenic similar to general cigarette because of combustion products, and that the evaluation of the chemical and biological safety of all types of herbal cigarettes available on the market.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of nitrogen compounds such as protein on the chemical composition and toxicity of cigarette mainstream smoke. BSA protein was treated into the tobacco leaf of original 2R4F cigarette at 1~4 % level. The studies were performed which included a bacterial mutagenicity assay and a mammalian cell cytotoxicity assay for total particulate matter(TPM), and glutathione(GSH) consumption assay for gas/vapor phase(GVP) and determination of smoke chemical constitute. Cigarettes treated with protein were observed dose-dependent increase in yield of volatiles, semi-volatiles and aromatic amines compared with control cigarette. However, carbonyl compounds such as acrolein was lower than that of control cigarette when calculated on an equal TPM basis. The cytotoxicity of TPM obtained from the protein-added cigarettes was not different from that of control cigarette. However, the mutagenicity of the TPM from protein-treated cigarettes(1~4 %) was up to 10-27 % higher than that of control. On the other hand, toxicity of GVP from protein-treated cigarette(4 %) was significantly decreased compared with control cigarette. An overall assessment of our data suggests that nitrogen compounds such as protein should be important for the chemical composition and biological activity of cigarette mainstream smoke.

Three phospholipids (4-6) and three aromatic amines (1-3) were obtained from the methanol extract of Bombycis corpus. Based on spectral data, their structures have been elucidated as nicotiamide (1), cytidine (2), adenine (3), 1-Ο-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-2-Ο-(8Z,11Z-octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (4), 1,2-di-Ο-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (5) and 1,2-di-Ο-9Z-octadecenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (6). We examined the effects of compounds on synthesis of NGF in cultured astrocytes. By RT-PCR analysis, expresison of NGF mRNA in astrocytes cultured in serum-starvation increased after the addition of phospholipid (10 $\mu$M). The NGF content in the culture medium was significantly increased by compound 5, compared with the control value. These results suggest that three phospholipid compounds isolated from the methanol extract of Bombycis corpus may exert neurotrophic effects by stimulation of NGF synthesis in astrocytes.

Bis(diethylamino)aluminum hydride was utilized in a systematic study of the approximate rates and stoichiometry of the reaction of excess reagent with 55 selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups under standardized conditions (THF, $0^{\circ}C$, reagent to compound=4 : 1) in order to define the characteristics of the reagent for selective reductions. The reducing action of BEAH was also compared with that of the parent aluminum hydride. The reducing action of the reagent is quite similar to that of aluminum hydride, but the reducing power is much weaker. Aldehydes and ketones were readily reduced in 1-3 h to the corresponding alcohols. However, unexpectedly, a ready involvement of the double bond in cinnamaldehyde was realized to afford hydrocinnamyl alcohol. The introduction of diethylamino group to the parent aluminum hydride appears not to be appreciably influential in stereoselectivity on the reduction of cyclic ketones. Both p-benzoquinone and anthraquinone utilized 2 equiv of hydride readily without evolution of hydrogen, proceeded cleanly to the 1,4-reduction products. Carboxylic acids and acid chlorides underwent reduction to alcohols slowly, whereas cyclic anhydrides utilized only 2 equiv of hydride slowly to the corresponding hydroxylacids. Especially, benzoic acid with a limiting amount of hydride was reduced to benzaldehyde in a yield of 80%. Esters and lactones were also readily reduced to alcohols. Epoxides examined all reacted slowly to give the ring-opened products. Primary and tertiary amides utilized 1 equiv of hydride fast and further hydride utilization was quite slow. The examination for possibility of achieving a partial reduction to aldehydes was also performed. Among them, benzamide and N,N-dimethylbenzamide gave ca, 90% yields of benzaldehyde. Both the nitriles examined were also slowly reduced to the amines. Unexpectedly, both aliphatic and aromatic nitro compounds proved to be relatively reactive to the reagent. On the other hand, azo- and azoxybenzenes were quite inert to BEAH. Cyclohexanone oxime liberated 1 equiv of hydrogen and utilized 1 equiv of hydride for reduction, corresponding to N-hydroxycyclohexylamine. Pyridine ring compounds were also slowly attacked. Disulfides were readily reduced with hydrogen evolution to the thiols, and dimethyl sulfoxide and diphenyl sulfone were also rapidly reduced to the sulfides.

The foreign trends of noncompliance occurring frequently in food contact materials during the period of 2011-2019 was investigated by analyzing the food safety risk information DB in the National Food Safety Information Service (NFSI). A total of 2,042 cases of noncompliance of food utensils, containers, and packages were classified into 5 violation categories; administrative procedures, manufacturing and processing standards, residues and migration standards, labeling and advertising, and quality standards. This was again subcategorized according to non-compliance causative factors. The non-compliances in residues and migration standards comprised the largest proportion (76.4%) of the violative categories. The number of noncompliance information collected in 2011 was 88 cases and increased to 373 cases in 2019. A 72.8% of the non-compliance case was identified to be products of 4 countries (China 64.2%, Germany 4.0%, Japan 3.2%, and Taiwan 3.1%), those produce large quantities of containers and packaging products. During the period of 2011-2019, the number of illegal use of hazardous materials and illegal recycling of waste synthetic resins has decreased to less than one a year since 2014. On the other hand, after 2016, inconsistency of heat-resisting temperature labeling (Taiwan), non-compliance in paper container's strength standards, violation of printing standards, and the risk of consumer injury while using the products were newly reported due to the strengthening of consumer safety protection regulations. Migration of hazardous substances in synthetic polymer products such as heavy metals, melamine and formaldehyde in melamine tableware, primary aromatic amines which are colorant components in kitchenware such as ladles and spatulas, and phthalate plasticizers have been continuously reported with high frequency.

국내 육성향미자원과 도입 향미 유전자원의 2AP 함량을 비교분석하여, 2AP 함량이 높고 농업적 형질이 우수한 자원을 30품종의 향미 유전자원에서 방향성 화합물을 SPME 추출법으로 추출하고 GC-MS로 각 자원이 가지는 방향성 화합물을 비교분석 및 동정하였다. 1. 3종류의 유기용매의 2AP 추출효율은 ethanol > acetonitl > methanol 순으로 확인되었으며, ethnaol의 경우 $30{\sim}90^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 3가지 유기용매 중 ethanol이 2AP 추출효과가 가장 뛰어났고, 특히 $90^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 추출하였을 때 2AP 추출함량이 가장 높았고 추출 시간이 경과할수록 2AP의 함량이 감소하였다. 현미의 분쇄정도에 따른 2AP 추출함량은 5초간 분쇄하였을 경우 가장 높았으며 분쇄 시간이 길어질수록 낮아지는 경향이었다. 2. 선발자원의 향에 대한 관능검사는 국내 향미자원 5품종 중 Hyangmibyeo1ho, Arnaghyangchalbyeo가 중간 정도의 향을 띄었고 인디카형 도입자원 19품종 중에서 11품종과 자포니카형 도입자원 6품종 중 2품종이 중간 이상의 향을 나타났다. 3. 30품종의 평균 2AP함량은 국내 육성 향미자원이 도입 향미자원에 비해 낮았으며 도입자원에서는 인디카형이 자포니카형 보다 높은 2AP 함량을 나타내었다. 4. 156종의 방향성 화합물 기능기별로 분류하면 alcohol류 33종, acid류 23종, ketone류 24종, hydrocarbon류 20종, ester류 16종, aldehyde류 16종, ether류 4종, amine류 5종 phenol류 3종, base류 2종, 및 기타 10종으로 분류되었다. 5. 156종의 방향성 화합물 중 생태형별 출현빈도가 50% 이상인 방향성 화합물을 살펴보면, 국내육성 향미자원에서는 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline 외 28종, Japonica type 도입 향미자원에서는 9,12-octadecadienoic acid 외 31종, Indica type 도입 향미자원에서는 naphthalene 외 23종이었다. 6. GC-MS 분석결과 검출된 국내 육성 향미자원의 방향성 화합물의 수는 평균 38개($36{\sim}41$개), 평균 total peak area는 61.1%($51.6{\sim}79.3%$)이었다. 도입 자포니카형 향미자원의 방향성 화합물의 수는 평균 39개($26{\sim}45$개), 평균 total peak area는 63.2%($40.9{\sim}81.9%$)이었다. 도입 인디카형 향미자원의 방향성 화합물의 수는 평균 39.6개($26{\sim}53$개), 평균 total peak area는 72.8%($33.8{\sim}98.8%$)이었다. 7. 30 품종으로부터 검출된 156종의 방향성 화합물의 출현 유무(0/1)를 기본 matrix로 하여, UPGMA/Neighbor-join tree 분석을 통해 분류한 결과, 7개의 그룹(Group $I{\sim}VII$)으로 나눠어졌다. 각 그룹의 66% 이상의 자원에서 나타난 향(aroma/odor)성분을 살펴보면, alcohol, aldehyde, acid, ether류 등의 휘발성 성분들의 비율이 품종별로 높았다. 따라서 본 실험의 결과는 대량의 향미 유전자원의 방향성 화합물에 대한 GC/GC-MS분석결과로, 향후 우수한 향미 품종 육성에 필요한 자료로 활용될 수 있다고 사료된다.
