The effects of electrodialysis (ED) alone or ED plus ultrafiltration (UF) on deacidification of mandarin orange juice were studied by using a commercial ED stack with ion exchange membranes. ED processing, reduced the total acidity of the juices by 30% (0.6~0.7% as total acidity) after 50 min and by about 60~70% (0.23~0.4% as total acidity) after 100 min, as compared to the control juice. However, the acidity reduction after 50 min of ED was determined to be suitable, when considering total acidity (0.6~0.7%, w/w) and current efficiency. There was no color change in the juices following ED, and the pH and Brix were only slightly decreased. Furthermore, ascorbic acid and citric acid concentrations showed only minor decreases, and amino-N, free sugar, and flavonoid contents remained almost unchanged. Therefore, we concluded that the nutritional integrity of the juice was maintained. ED combined with UF may be effective, not only in preventing membrane fouling, but also in preserving the nutrients, such as ascorbic acid, in citrus juice.

6-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)amino-7-chloro-5,8-quinolinedione (RCK50) was tested for antifungal activities in mice systemically infected with Candida albicans. The therapeutic potential of RCK50 was also assessed in comparison with ketoconazole. CK50 had $ED_{50}$ 0.22${\pm}$0.01mg/kg. Ketoconazole as a positive control had $ED_{50}$ 6.00${\pm}$1.70mg/kg. Intraperitoneally administered RCK50 at the $ED_{50}$ for 7 days and 14 days reduced Candida albicans colony count in the kidneys and liver. And administered RCK50 at the $ED_{50}$ for 14 days improved survival rates. The genotoxicities of RCK50 had been evaluated. RCK50 was negative in Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium and chromosomal aberration test in CHL cells. RCK50 did not show any clastogenic effect in mouse peripheral blood and was negative in mouse micronucleus assay. These results indicate that RCK50 has no genotoxic potential under these experimental conditions. Acute oral toxicity studies of RCK50 were carried out in ICR mice of both sexes. RCK50 did not show acute oral toxicities and $LD_{50}$ values were over 2,850mg/kg in ICR mice.

Purpose: The present study explored cookie making performance using Jeju magma seawater to elucidate the effects of minerals in water on quality of baked goods. Methods: Seven water samples were analyzed for their mineral content, pH and water hardness. Starch pasting properties of flour in water samples was analyzed using RVA, and cookie making performance using water samples was evaluated with the AACCI wire-cut cookie baking method. Quality of cookies was measured by weight loss during baking, cookie geometry, color, and firmness. Results: Hardness of water samples ranged from 0-4200, and mineral content was in the order of magma seawater > 100% ED mineral water > 50% ED mineral water > 10% ED mineral water > tap water > Samdasoo > distilled water. RVA results showed that water hardness exhibited significant relationships with pasting temperature (p<0.05, R=0.863), peak viscosity (p<0.001, R=0.944), final viscosity (p<0.05, R=0.861), and setback (p<0.05, R=0.782). Cookie baking results showed that cookie diameter increased in the order of magma seawater < 100% ED mineral water < 50% ED mineral water < 10% ED mineral water $\approx$ tap water < Samdasoo < distilled water. Conclusion: As mineral content in water increased, flour pasting temperature and viscosity increased, whereas cookie diameter decreased with color fading. However, cookies formulated with 50% ED mineral water showed similar cookie geometry and texture to those with tap water. Therefore, controlling the mineral content of water can be successfully applied to produce mineral-enriched cookies.

Antimuscarinic agent like antispasmodic actions of licorice alkaloidal fraction, obtained from the Glycyrrhiza glabra L., was compared with that of atropine quantitatively. For this purpose, the author calculated the kinetic constants and $ED_{50}$ for acetylcholine antagonism by these drugs on rat ileum and guinea-fig ileum longitudinal muscle according to Paton's theoretical equations describing the combination of an antagonist drug with its receptors. The results are as follows. 1. On rat ileum. a) Licorice alkaloidal fraction $K_1$ (association rate constant)=$4.078{\times}10^2\;(s^{-1}\;gm^{-1}\;ml)$ $K_2$ (dissociation rate constant)=$6.986{\times}10^{-4}\;(s^{-1})$ $ED_{50}(K_2/K_1)=1.772{\times}10^{-6}(gm/ml)$ b) Atropine $K_1=5.136{\times}10^6$, $K_2=7.714{\times}10^{-4}$, $ED_{50}=1.408{\times}10^{-10}$ 2. On guinea-pig ileum longitudinal muscle a) Licorice alkaloidal fraction $K_1=1.30{\times}10^2$, $K_2=1.25{\times}10^{-3}$ $ED_{50}=9.58{\times}10^{-6}$ b) Atropine $K_1=5.75{\times}10^6$, $K_2=1.54{\times}10^{-3}$ $ED_{50}=2.68{\times}10^{-10}$ Above results present that 1 r of licorice alkaloidal fraction has equal fotency of acetylcholine antagonism with $8.5{\times}10^{-5}r$ of atropine on rat ileum, $2.8{\times}10^{-5}r$ on guinea-pig ileum longitudinal muscle. This facts suggest that the site and numbers of licorice alkaloid receptors of guinea-pig ileum are different from that of rat ileum. Besides, it also gives a suggestion that licorice alkaloidal fraction may be a partial antagonist on guinea-pig ileum in this experimental conditions.

(S)-Carbamic acid 2-[4-(4-fluoro-benzoyl)-piperidin-1-yl]-1-phenyl-ethyl ester hydrochloride (YKP1447) is a novel "atypical" antipsychotic drug which selectively binds to serotonin (5-$HT_{2A}$, Ki=0.61 nM, 5-$HT_{2C}$, Ki=20.7 nM) and dopamine ($D_2$, Ki=45.9 nM, $D_3$, Ki=42.1 nM) receptors with over $10\sim100$-fold selectivity over the various receptors which exist in the brain. In the behavioral studies using mice, YKP1447 antagonized the apomorphine-induced cage climbing ($ED_{50}$=0.93 mg/kg) and DOI-induced head twitch ($ED_{50}$=0.18 mg/kg) behavior. In the dextroamphetamine-induced hyperactivity and conditioned avoidance response (CAR) paradigm in rats, YKP1447 inhibited the hyperactivity induced by amphetamine ($ED_{50}$=0.54 mg/kg) and the avoidance response ($ED_{50}$=0.48 mg/kg); however, unlike other antipsychotic drugs, catalepsy was observed only at much higher dose ($ED_{50}$=68.6 mg/kg). Based on the CAR and catalepsy results, the therapeutic index (TI) value for YKP1447 is over 100 (i.p.). These results indicate that YKP1447 has an atypical profile and less undesirable side effects than currently available drugs.

$Ag^+$ 이온을 주성분으로 하는 $Ag^+N$과 $Ag^0$ 나노입자를 주성분으로 하는 $Ag^0NP$의 미생물학적 독성을 Microtox 생물검정법을 이용하여 수용액과 토양에서 용량-반응관계를 이용하여 비교, 평가하였다. 수용액 실험에서 Vibrio fisheri의 50% 발광 저해율을 보여주는 $EC_{50}$ 값은 $Ag^+N$이 $Ag^0NP$ 보다 현저히 낮게 나타나, 이온상태의 $Ag^+N$이 독성이 훨씬 높음을 알 수 있었다. 노출시간이 15분에서 30분으로 증가하면 독성 또한 증가했다. 반대로 토양 추출액 실험에서는 $Ag^+N$의 $ED_{50}$ 값이 $Ag^0NP$의 값 보다 높아, $Ag^+N$의 독성이 더 낮게 나타났다. 이것은 $Ag^+N$의 $Ag^+$가 토양 입자 또는 부식산에 강하게 흡착 되거나, Microtox 희석제 NaCl과 반응하여 난용해성 AgCl 침전물을 형성하여, 토양 추출액 중의 활성 Ag 농도가 감소한 것에 기인하는 것으로 판단되었다. Microtox 분석에 의한 Ag 나노용액의 생물학적 독성은 Ag의 존재형태 ($Ag^+$, $Ag^0$), 반응매질 (수용액, 토양), 노출시간에 따라 서로 상이한 결과를 보여 주었다.
