To modify the toughness of epoxy for matrix, succinonitrile(SN) was introduced to diglycidy1 ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA)/methylene dianiline(MDA)system. Cure reaction mdchanism of the DGEBA/MDA/SN system was strdied through Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR) spectrometry. As a result, the reaction of nitrile group of SN with secondary amine and with hydroxy1 group prevented the reaction of hydroxy1 group with epoxide group from crossoinding. Nitrile groups produced amide group by reacting with hydroxy1 groups and made a lowered crosslind density in chain networks.

This paper describes a synthetic route to novel 2'-methyl and 4'-hydroxy carbocyclic nucleosides. The methyl group was successfully installed by carbonyl addition reaction of isopropenyl magnesium bromide followed by ring-closing metathesis and the hydroxy group was directly introduced from carbohydrate chiral template "D-lactose".ose".uot;.

Two different types of chemical manipulations of dobutamine were investigated in order to develop novel, improved cardiotonic drugs. Three new analogues of carbostyril, in which the m-hydroxy group of dobutamine was isosterically modified with an amide type carbostyril system, were synthesized from, ${\rho}-methoxyphenethylamine$ via multi-steps. Two analogues of (2'-aminoethyl)-1-hydroxy-2-pyridone system which has isosteric structural similarity with dopamine without having the COMT vulnerable m-hydroxy group were synthesized via 12 synthetic steps. Their biological stabilities in various media and inotropic activities were evaluated.

It was reported that the potency of TMMC derivatives was related to the presence of the 2'-hydroxy group on the A ring. Also, 4-dimethylamino group on the B ring lowered the anti-inflammatory potency of the chalcones. We synthesized various derivatives of 2'-hydroxy chalcones having other substituents on B ring. The synthetic derivatives showed the more potent anti-inflammatory effect, comparable to that of the TMMC derivatives reported previously.

For the purpose of survey of the antibacterial activity against a cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans OMZ 176 with the introduction of hydroxyl and allyl groups to o-phenylphenol (Fig. 2, 1), 4-hydroxy-o-phenylphenol (2), and 3,6-diallyl-4-hydroxy-o-phenylphenol (4) were synthesized, sucessively. The synthesized compounds, 2 and 4 showed more potent antibacterial activity than the starting material, 1. The hydroxyl group was supposed to the essential element for the antibacterial activity and the introduction of allyl group to phenolic ring to be another element to increase the activity.

Fitty two flavones were synthesized from polyoxygenated dibenzoylmethanes which were obtained by a modified Baker-Venkatarman rearrangement, of 2-benzoyl oxyacetophenones. The following flavones among them showed good cytotoxic activities against L1210 and HL60 cells ; 2'-benzoyloxy-5,7-dimethoxyflavone $(8.2{\mu}g/ml,{\;}5.0 {\mu}g/ml)$, 2'-benzyloxy-5,7,8-trimethoxyflavone $(5,9 {\mu}g/ml,{\;}11.0{\mu}g/ml,{\;}2.7{\mu}g/ml)$, 2'-hydroxy-5,7,8-trimethoxyflavone $(9.8{\mu}/ml,{\;}6.2{\mu}g/ml)$, 2'-benzyloxy-5-hydroxyflavone $(5.2 {\mu}g/ml,{\;}3.6{\mu}g/ml)$, and 5,2'-dihydroxyflavone $(5.1{\mu}g/ml,{\;}4.0{\mu}g/ml)$. Presence of 5-methoxy group potentiated the cytotoxic activity, while the existence of 7-methoxy group decreased the activity. 5-Hydroxy or methoxy activates 4-carbonyl group, while 7-methoxy group deactivates the acrbonyl group. From these observation it was concluded that the activation of carbonyl group at C-4 of a flavone is important for the enahncement of the cytotoxic activity. The presence of both 5-hydroxy and 2-benzyloxy-or 2-hydroxy group enhanced the antitumor activity; 2'-benzyloxy-5-hydroxy-7-methoxyflaone 9T/C=144%), 5.2'-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavone (T/C=132%) and 5,2'-dihydroxy-6,78,6' trtramethoxyflvone (T/C = 172%) 2'hexanolytion of 5,2'-dihydroxy-flavones did not improve the natitumor activity; 2' hexanoyloxy-5-hydroxy-7-methoxyflavone showed T/C = 132%, about the same as that of 5,2'-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflvone (T/C=130%)

The 4-(2'-(N-(l-methyl-3'-carbamylphenyl)-n-propyl))aminoethyl)-l- hydroxy-2-pyridone which has isoelectronic and isosteric structural similarity with dobutamine without having the Catechol-O- Methyltransferase(COMT) vulnerable m-hydroxy group was synthesized via 12 synthetic steps.

This research examined prostanozol and its metabolites in urine of women who took the medicine (prostanozol). Prostanozol and its metabolites were successfully separated and detected by using LC/ESI/MS and GC/TOF-MS. Mass spectrum of LC/ESI/MS estimated molecular weight of Prostanozol and its metabolites and that of GC/TOF-MS verified them. For M1, carbon number 17 of Prostanozol substituted to a keto group and it is called 17-keto-Prostanozol. M2 turned out to be hydroxy-17-keto-Prostanozol. It came from substitution of one hydroxyl group of pyrazole nucleus and A-ring of M1. Substitution of one hydroxyl group of B-ring or C-ring became M3, hydroxy-17-keto-Prostanozol. M4 was found to be a hydroxy-17-keto-Prostsnozol transposed from one hydroxyl group to a D-ring. M5 has a hydroxyl group of carbon number 17. One hydroxyl group is substituted from B-ring or C-ring and it is assumed to be hydroxy-17-hydroxy-Prostanozol. M6 was turned out to be dihydroxy-17-keto-Prostanozol transposed from one hydroxyl group to pyrazole nucleus or A-ring and to B-ring or C-ring. Like M6, M7 has a keto group at carbon number 17 and was identified as dihydroxy-17-keto-Prostanozol. M7 has one hydroxyl group at pyrazole nucleus or A-ring and also at D-ring. At last M8 was found to be dihydroxy-17-hydroxy-Prostanozol. Pyrazole nucleus or A-ring has got one hydroxyl group and other rings were substituted to another hydroxyl group. From above, M5, M7 and M8 were verified as new metabolites that were not discovered yet. Prostanozol and all of the 8 metabolites formed glucuronic conjugates as a result of conjugation reaction test in human body. Some of 8 metabolites were excreted without forming conjugates. Particularly M6 and M7 were excreted as sulfate conjugates.

Synthesis of (lR,5S,6S)-6-[(lR)-1-hydroxyethyl] -2-[(3S,5S)-5-(2-ethoxycarbonyl-1-moxy(hydroxy)iminoethyl)pyrrolidine-3-ylthio]-1-methylcarbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acids (10a,l0b) were described. Methyl(2S,4S)-4-tritylthio-1-(allyloxycarbonyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxyla late (I) was prepared from trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline with (2S,4R)-abs olute configuration as starting material. (2S,4S)-1-allyloxycarbonyl-2-(2-ethoxycarbonyl-hydroxy(methoxy )iminoethyl)-4-mercapto- pyrrolidines (6,7) were obtained from the tritylthio compound (I). (lR,5S,6S)-6-[(lR)-1-hydroxyethyl]-2-[(3S,5S)-5-(2-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methoxy(hydroxy)imino-ethyl)pyrrolidine-3-ylthio]-1-methylcarbapem-2-em-3-carboxylic acids (10a,10b) were obtained by the coupling reaction with carbapenem diphenylphosphates (8) and pyrrolidine-thiol moiety (6,7). Their in vitro antibacterial activities against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative were tested. Compounds ( 10a,10b) showed potent antibacterial activity except pseudomonas aerusinosa.

The inhibitory effect and the structure-activity relationships of luteolin and its related derivatives isolated from Taraxacum mongolicum against MAO activities were investigated. The activity-guided isolation of extract from Taraxacum mongolicum led to the isolation of three flavonoids, luteolin, diosmetin, and luteolin-7-glucoside, a polyphenol, chlorogenic acid, a tyrosine and a uridine. The inhibitory activities of luteolin and its related derivatives against MAOs activities are dependent on their molecular structures. The presence of the phenolic hydroxy group at para-position is the active site for MAO-A inhibition as well as of MAO-B. The methoxy group has no potential on MAO-A inhibition. An additional phenolic hydroxy group at the ortho-position alleviates about 4-fold MAO-A inhibitory activity of phenolic hydroxy group at para-position. A carboxylic group seems to be critical for DBH inhibition and has no effects on MAO.
