Aminolysis of aryl thiol-2-furoates and thiol-2-thiophenates with benzylainines are investigated in acetonitrile at 50.0 ℃. Relatively large selectivity parameters, ρx(βx), ρz(βx) and ρxz (> 0) together with the valid reactivity-selectivity principle are consistent with a stepwise acyl transfer mechanism with rate-limiting expulsion of the leaving group, thiophenolate anion, from the tetrahedral intermediate, T±. The first-order kinetics with respect to the benzylamine concentration and the relatively large secondary kinetic isotope effect involving deuterated benzylamine nucleophiles suggest a four-center type transition state in which concurrent leaving group departure and proton transfer are involved.

In this study, in contrast with cases in which Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) tip-induced reactions were instigated by the tunneling electrons, the local electric field, or the mechanical force between a tip and a surface, we found that the tungsten oxide (WO3) covered tungsten (W) tip of a STM acted as a chemical catalyst for the S-H dissociative adsorption of phenylthiol and 1-octanethiol onto a Ge(100) surface. By varying the distance between the tip and the surface, the degree of the tip-catalyzed adsorption could be controlled. We have found that the thiol head-group is the critical functional group for this catalysis and the catalytic material is the WO3 layer of the tip. After removing the WO3 layer by field emission treatment, the catalytic activity of the tip has been lost. 3-mercapto isobutyric acid is a chiral bi-functional molecule which has two functional groups, carboxylic acid group and thiol group, at each end. 3-Mercapto Isobutyric Acid adsorbs at Ge(100) surface only through carboxylic acid group at room temperature and this adsorption was enhanced by the tunneling electrons between a STM tip and the surface. Using this enhancement, it is possible to make thiol group-terminated surface where we desire. On the other hand, surprisingly, the WO3 covered W tip of STM was found to act as a chemical catalyst to catalyze the adsorption of 3-mercapto isobutyric acid through thiol group at Ge(100) surface. Using this catalysis, it is possible to make carboxylic acid group-terminated surface where we want. This functional group-selective adsorption of bi-functional molecule using the catalysis may be used in positive lithographic methods to produce semiconductor substrate which is terminated by desired functional groups.

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of thiol compounds, $\beta$-mercaptoethanol($\beta$-ME) and cystearrone with buffalo rat liver cell(BRLC) co-culture on the development and intracellular glutathione(GSH) concentrations of bovine embryos produced by in vitro inaturation(IVM) and in vitro fertilization(IVF). Bovine IVM /IVF embryos developed to 2~8 cell stage were co-cultured with BRLC in GRlaa with or without thiol compounds. The developmental rate beyond morulae stage in CRlaa containing 0, 10,25 and 50$\pi$M $\beta$-ME with BRLG were 63.0, 74.0, 72.3 and 77.1%, respectively. And the developmental rate with 0, 25, 50 and 75$\pi$M cystearnine with BRLC were 69.6, 77.6, 81.0 and 76.8%, respectively. The developmental rate beyond morulae stage of GRlaa containing thiol compound with BRLG group was higher than that of control group. The intracellular GSH concentrations of blastocysts cultured for 5 days in GRlaa containing 0 and 50$\pi$M $\beta$-ME or cysteamine with BRLG were 81.2 and 86.4, 83.2 and 84.2pM, respectively. The intracellular GSH concentrations of blastocysts in GRlaa containing thiol compounds with BRLG was slightly higher than that of control group The cell numbers of blastocysts were not difference in all experimental groups. These results indicate that thiol compounds with BRLG co-culture was increased the percentage of developed into morulae and blastocysts, and intracellular GSII concentrations of blastocysts embryos.

Curcumin (diferuloyl methane), originated rhizomes of Curcuma longa L. has been suggested as an anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic agent. In the present study, modulation of cytotoxic effects of curcumin on HeLa cells by different types of antioxidants was investigated. Cytotoxic effects of curcumin were significantly enhanced in the presence of superoxide dismutase (SOD) by decreasing $IC_{50}$ to 15.4 from $26.0\;{\mu}M$ after 24 hr incubation; the activity was not altered by catalase. The effect of curcumin was significantly less pronounced in the presence of 4 mM N-acetylcysteine (NAC). Low concentration (<1 mM) of NAC, however, increased the efficacy of curcumin. Cysteine and ${\beta}$-mercaptoethanol that have a thiol group, showed the similar biphasic patterns as NAC for modulating curcumin cytotoxicity, which was, however, constantly enhanced by ascorbic acid, a non-thiol antioxidant. In the presence of SOD, ascorbic acid, and 0.5 mM NAC, cellular levels of curcumin were significantly increased by 31-66%, whereas 4 mM NAC decreased the level. The present results indicate that thiol reducing agents showed a biphasic effect in modulating cytotoxicity of curcumin; it is likely that their thiol group is reactive with curcumin especially at high concentrations.

미나리 (O. javanica)는 오염된 하수 등에서도 매우 잘 자라는 식물체이다. 이런 미나리를 phytoremediation에 응용하기 위하여 $50\;{\mu}M$ 카드늄을 처리하여 카드늄에 대한 저항성 및 식물체에 축적된 카드늄을 정량하고 생리적, 생화학적 변화를 조사하였다. 카드늄을 처리하고 3주 뒤에 미나리는 거의 성장저해를 받지 않았으나 대조구로 사용한 담배 (N. tabacum Xanthi)는 75% 성장저해를 받았다. 미나리는 뿌리, 줄기, 잎에 건중량 1 그램당 각각 2.1, 7.3, $113\;{\mu}moles$의 카드늄을 축적하였다. 카드늄을 처리한 미나리의 경우 전체 thiol 잔기의 농도가 카드늄을 처리하지 않은 미나리에 비해 뿌리, 줄기, 잎에서 각각 0.5, 1,7배 증가하였으나 글루타치온 농도의 경우는 대조구에 비해 각각 57%, 30%, 53% 까지 감소하였다. 이를 HPLC로 조사해본 결과 증가된 thiol의 함량은 새로운 thiol 잔기를 지닌 물질의 생성으로 기인된 것이고, retention time을 기초로 이는 phytochelatin인 것으로 보여진다.

Microorganisms capable of utilizing diaminododecane containing amine groups diterminally were isolated from the soil by enrichment culture. One strain of these isolated strain, designated as EL-0112L, was selected for this study. The results of this study were as follows. 1. This isolated strain EL-0112L was identified as Microbacterium, from the results of morphological, cultural, and biochemical tests. This isolated strain was named temporarily Microbacterium sp. EL-0112L for convenience. 2. Microbacterium sp. EL-0112L was tested for ability to utilize different kinds of substitued alkanes containing cyan, amine, chloro, and thiol groups(monoterminally or diterminall substituted) as carbon source. Pentamethylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine, n-decane, laurylamine, and alkane derivatives containing cyan, chloro, and thiol groups were not utilized by Microbacterium sp. EL-0112L. 3. The alkane derivatives that did not serve as growth substrates were tested further in oxidation tests using resting cell preparation of Microbacterium sp. EL-0112 L. Alkane derivatives containing cyan, chloro, thiol groups, and n-decane were oxidized by Microbacterium sp. EL-0112 L. It is possible that this isolated strain is also able to degrade their substituted counterparts since they are structually similar to diaminododecane. The remarkable substrates that were being oxidized were dichlorodecane, and 1-dodecanethiol. Microbacterium sp. EL- 0112L could not oxidize pentamethylenediamine, and hexamethylenediamine. 4. The metabolic products formed from diaminododecane by Microbacterium sp. EL-0112 L were acid compound containing carboxyl group and not containing amine group. On the thin layer chromatography, Rf values of these metabolic products were different from that of the product formed by Corynebacterium sp. EL-0112L. These results suggested the specificity of diaminododecane as carbon source.

A system for studying oxidative hemolysis has been used by controling UV-irradiation and concentration of a novel molecular probe, N,N'-bis(2-hydroperoxy-2-methoxyethyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetra-carboxylic diimide (NP-III), which generates hydroxyl radical upon longer wavelength photoirradiation (> 350 nm). NP-III induces 25~30% of hemolysis at low concentration (50 $\mu$M) for 3h-irradiation of UVA. The simultaneous treatment of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) with NP-IH completely hemotyzed erythrocytes under the same conditions as NP-III alone by both decreasing thiol group and increasing lipid peroxidation in erythrocyte membrane. However. thiol-reducing agents prevented the protein-crosslinking and lipid peroxidation on the NEM-synergistic hemolysis by partially scavenging hydroxyl radical and maintaining the thiol group of erythrocyte membrane in the reduced state. In addition, erythrocytes pretreated with 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-6-hydroxychromane (PMC), vitamin E homologue was able to delay and decrease the lipid peroxidation when compared to cells pretreated with both NEM and PMC. We suggest that the presence of reduced thiols in inner membrane protein by GSH can prevent the protein-crosslinking and the lipid peroxidation, and eventually prevent the oxidative hemolysis of erythrocyte.
