Many evidences are compatible with the correlation between the inhibition of [$^3H$] imipramine([$^3H$]IMI) and [$^3H$]paroxetine([$^3H$]PAT) binding to the 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) transporter complex and the 5-HT uptake of 5-HT neurons and platelets, and most antidepressants have been shown to inhibit the [$^3H$]IMI and [$^3H$]PAT binding and the neuronal 5-HT uptake. However, several paradoxical research findings led to doubt about the pharmacological significance of the [$^3H$]IMI and [$^3H$]PAT binding sites. This study was carried to clarify the correlation between the [$^3H$]IMI and [$^3H$]PAT binding parameters and the tissue 5-HT content or/and [$^3H$]5-HT uptake in the rabbit platelet, which contains 40 times ad much 5-HT as that of human platelet and shows the 10 fold higher $B_{max}$ of the 5-HT transporter binding to a 5-HT uptake inhibitor. The rabbits were treated for 28 days with amitriptyline(4mg/kg/day : AP), fluoxetine(0.5mg/kg/day : FO), and sertraline(0.5mg/kg/day : SA) via an Alzet osmotic pump implanted for constant infusion. The [$^3H$]IMI binding $B_{max}$ and $K_d$ of the rabbit platelets were $6.4{\pm}1.2$pmol/mg protein and $10.9{\pm}2.1$nM and those in the [$^3H$]PAT binding were $8.6{\pm}1.1$pmol/mg protein and $1.6{\pm}0.3$nM, respectively. AP slightly increased $B_{max}$ of [$^3H$]IMI binding and both [$^3H$]IMI binding and [$^3H$]PAT binding $K_d$, and i contrast, it slightly decreased $B_{max}$ of [$^3H$]PAT binding. FO Slightly increased $K_d$ of both and [$^3H$]IMI and [$^3H$]PAT binding and slightly decreased $B_{max}$ of [$^3H$]IMI and [$^3H$]PAT binding. SA produced the significant increase of [$^3H$]PAT binding $B_{max}$ and the slight increase of both [$^3H$]IMI and [$^3H$]PAT binding $K_d$ and in contrast, it slightly decreased $B_{max}$ and of [$^3H$]IMI binding. And, the $V_{max}$ and $K_m$ of platelet [$^3H$]5-HT uptake were $24.2{\pm}2.4$pmol/$10^8$ platelets/min and $3.3{\pm}0.3$nM, respectively. The $V_{max}$ was little affected by AP, FO, or SA, but the [$^3H$]5-HT uptake $K_m$ value was moderately increased by FO. However, the platelet 5-HT content was moderately decreased by all of the 5-HT uptake inhibitors used in this study. These results seem to be consistent with the allosterical and competitive interaction of 5-HT uptake inhibiting antidepressants with each other as well as 5-HT in the 5-HT transporter binding, and provide no support for the view that the potencies of 5-HT uptake inhibitors to inhibit the [$^3H$]IMI or [$^3H$]PAT binding with 5-HT transporter complex correlate with their antidepressant potencies.

Valacyclovir is a L-valyl ester prodrug of acyclovir which is a highly effective and selective antiviral agent in the treatment of herpes virus diseases. Valacyclovir is rapidly and almost completely converted to acyclovir and increases the oral bioavailability of acyclovir three to five fold. However, the intestinal absorption mechanism of valacyclovir is not clear. If the improved absorption mechanism of valacyclovir is fully understood, it will provide a rationale of designing the amino acid ester prodrugs of polar drugs containing hydroxyl group. The main objective of our present study is to characterize the membrane transport mechanism of valacyclovir. Methods : Intestinal absorption of valacyclovir was investigated by using in-situ rat perfusion study and its wall permeability was estimated by modified boundary layer model. The membrane transport mechanism was also investigated through the uptake study in Caco-2 cells and in CHO-hPepTl cells. Results : In the rat perfusion study, the wall permeability of valacyclovir was ten times higher than acyclovir and showed concentration dependency, Valacyclovir also demonstrated a D,L stereo-selectivity with L-isomer having an approximately five-fold higher permeability than D-isomer. Mixed dipeptides and cephalexin, which are transported by dipeptide carriers, strongly competed with valacyclovir for the intestinal absorption, while L-valine did not show any competition with valacyclovir. This indicated that the intestinal absorption of valacyclovir could be dipeptide carrier-mediated. In addition, the competitive uptake study in Caco-2 cells presented that dipeptides reduced the valacyclovir uptake but valine did not. Also, in IC$\sub$50/ study, valacyclovir showed strong inhibition on the $^3$H-gly-sar uptake in CHO-hPepTl cells over-expressing a human intestinal peptide transporter. Taken together, the result from our present study indicated that valacyclovir utilized the peptide transporter for the intestinal absorption.

The effect of various supplies of lead singly and in combination with aluminium on growth and chlorophyll biosynthesis was investigated in 7-day-old Vigna anguluris seedlings. Expose to 50 $\mu$N Pb or more drastically reduced root elongation rate. Significant depressions in root growth was observed within 1 day and no recovery of growth was seen over the duration of treatment period. Root elongation decreased depending on the Pb concentrations. Root growth inhibition was stronger than shoot growth inhibition. The initiation of lateral roots appeared to be more sensitive to Pb than the growth of main roots. Inhibition of root and shoot elongation by Pb was lessened by combined exposure of Pb and Al, suggesting that the presence of AA reverse the inhibitory effect of Pb alone. With the histochemical sodium rhodizonate method the rate of Pb uptake was dependent on the Pb concentration and exposure time of the roots to Pb salts. Pb was first deposited on the root surface and then translocated radially in the root cap cells. During a longer Pb administration (up to 72 h) Pb penetration was nonuniform, with accumulation within the cortex or endodermis. There was drastic reduction in chlorophyll content by Pb. The Pb inhibition of chlorophyll synthesis was concentration dependent. 5-Aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) activity exhibited distinct inhibition from control. Reduction in chlorophyll content was accompanied by proportional changes in ALAD activity. Chlorophyll content and ALAD activity were less affected by combined exposure of Pb and Al, suggesting that Al has a protective effect against the inhibiting action of Pb on photosynthetic activity.

The herbicide butachlor [N-(butoxymethyl)-2-chloro-N-(2,6-di-methylphenyl) acetamide] is widely used by farmers as a tool for weed management of transplanted rice(Oryza sativa L.) in Taiwan. The herbicide did not stop germination of rice and weed seeds, but strongly inhibited the subsequent growth of young shoots and roots. The inhibition was also strong on established seedlings. However, they could recover to normal growth after the herbicide effect disappeared. Butachlor greatly decreased the endogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) but increased the endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) contents of rice seedlings. Addition of lAA into growth medium (Hoagland's solution) partly relieved growth inhibition. Pretreatment of both gibberellic acid ($GA_3$) and IAA 24 hours before butachlor treatment almost completely alleviated the butachlor-interfere with GA and/or IAA metabolism or their action resulting in the growth inhibition of rice. Butachlor was readily absorbed by rice roots. During 24 hours of uptake experiment, 32% of the applied herbicide was absorbed. Pretreatment of the herbicide for 2 days did ncx affect the absorption. Of the absorbed herbicide, 80% remained in roots, only 20% transported into shoots, and more than 50% was metabolized to water soluble substances. Thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) analysis indicated that the Rf value of the most abundant metabolite was butachlor-glutathione conjugate. Rice, barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv.), and monochoria (Monochoria vaginalis Presl) seedlings contained relatively high level of non-protein thiols, while the glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity was found highest in rice, barnyardgrass the next, monochoria the lowest. The difference in GST activity among these species might be related to their sensitivity to butachlor.

This study investigated the effect of high concentration of free ammonia on microalgal growth and substrate removal by applying real wastewater nitrogen ratio. To test of this, the conditions of free ammonia 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 mg-N/L are compared. After 3 days of incubation, algal growth of Chlorella vulgaris and carbon removal rate are respectively lower in the reactors of FA 12, 15 mg-N/L compared to the others. This indicates that the high concentration of free ammonia, in this case, above 12 mg-N/L, has negative effect on algal growth and metabolic activity. Also, high concentration of free ammonia causes the proton imbalance, ammonium accumulation in algae and has toxicity for these reasons. So, we have to consider free ammonia in applying the microalgae to wastewater treatment system by the way of diluting wastewater or controlling pH and temperature.

Five yellow disperse dyes were synthesized and their dyeing, fastness and photodegradation behaviors were investigated. It was found that dyes derived from phenylindole and N-alkylaminobenzene showed dye uptake directly proportional to the dye concentration, but the build-up of dyes derived from carbazole and pyridone were not good. The wavelength at maximum absorption. molar extinction coefficient. and the tendency to the photodegradation were strongly dependent on the electron donating ability of the coupling component. The dye, whose coupling component was phenylindole, possessed the excellent dyeing properties and the high degree of lightfastness. UVA had an effect on the inhibition of the photodegradation especially for the easily photodegradabte dyes.
