Nickel oxide nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning with nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone and calcination process. The nanofiber shape was easily detected from the nanofibers with high Ni contents after calcined at $600^{\circ}C$ and the crystal structure of layer-by-layer growth was observed from SEM images at $900^{\circ}C$. XRD and TEM results showed metallic Ni and NiO structure were formed at nanofibers obtained at 600 and $900^{\circ}C$ and the crystallite size was calculated from 25 to 55 nm. The surface of nanofibers was fully oxidized from the deconvoluted Cu 2p and O 1s XPS spectra.

A series of new chiral [iminophosphoranyl]ferrocenes, {${\eta}^5-C_5H_4-(PPh_2=N-2,6-R_2-C_6H_3)$}Fe{${\eta}^5-C_5H_3-1-PPh^2-2-CH(Me)NMe_2$} (1: R = Me, $^iPr$), {${\eta}^5{-C_5H_4-(PPh_2=N-2,6-R_2}^1-C_6H_3)$}Fe{${\eta}^5-C_5H_3-1-(PPh_2=N-2,6-R_2-C_6H_3)-2-CH(Me)R_2$} (2: $R^1\;=\;Me,\;^iPr;\;R^2\;=\;NMe_2$, OMe), and $({\eta}^5-C_5H_5)Fe${${\eta}^5-C_5H_4-1-PR_2-2-CH(Me)N=PPh_3$} (3:R = Ph, $C_6H_{11}$) have been prepared from the reaction of [1,1'-diphenylphosphino-2-(N,N-dimethylamino) ethyl]ferrocene with arylazides (1 & 2) and the reaction of phosphine dichlorides ($R_3PCl_{2}$) with [1,1'-diphenylphosphino-2-aminoethyl]ferrocene (3), respectively. They form palladium complexes of the type $[Pd(C_3H_5)(L)]BF_4$ (4-6: L = 1-3), where the ligand (L) adopts an ${\eta}^2-N,N\;(2)\;or\;{\eta}^2$-P,N (3) as expected. In the case of 1, a potential terdentate, an ${\eta}^2$-P,N mode is realized with the exclusion of the –=NAr group from the coordination sphere. Complexes 4-6 were employed as catalysts for allylic alkylation of 1,3-diphenylallyl acetate leading to an almost stoichiometric product yield with modest enantiomeric excess (up to 74% ee). Rh(I)-complexes incorporating 1-3 were also prepared in situ for allylic alkylation of cinnamyl acetate as a probe for both regio- and enantioselectivities of the reaction. The reaction exhibited high regiocontrol in favor of a linear achiral isomer regardless of the ligand employed.

Relnoval of ammonia from aqueous solutions has been studied with zeolite and bentonite minerals. Zeolite and bentonite powder were supplied by a domestic company and used as delivered without further purification. The aqueous pH was found to increase by addition of zeolite or bentonite up to pH 8.5 from initial pH of 5.5∼5.7. From the C.E.C. measurement by ammonium acetate leaching method, the values of C.E.C. of zeolite and bentonite sample were observed to be 129.7 meq/100 gr and 65.1 meq/100 gr, respectively and Na+ ion accounted for the major part of total C.E.C. in both cases. In the removal of ammonia with zeolite and bentonite, physical adsorption of ammonium ion onto minerals was believed to contribute to the removal of it as well as the intrinsic cation exchange reaction. Finally, zeolite was found to be superior to bentonite in the removal of ammonia from aqueous solutions.

When phenylation of styrene was carried out in the presence of Pd(OAc)2 and PPh3 in benzene, trans-stilbene was obtained in good yield (566%) with high selectivity (98%) under mild condition (55 ℃, 50 psi O2, 20 h). Since trans-stilbene could be produced not only from benzene but also from phenyl group of PPh3 by migration of its phenyl group to Pd, the competitiveness of benzene and the migratory aptitude of aryl group of triarylphosphine toward styrene has been investigated with various phosphines (PR3: P(p-C6H4CH3)3, P(p-C6H4OCH3)3, P(p-C6H4F)3, P(p-C6H4Cl)3, P(C6H5)3, P(C6H11)3, P(OC4H9n)3, P(CH2C6H5)3 and P(C6F5)3). The yield and selectivity toward trans-stilbene are increased as the basicity of the phosphines increases. The composition of arylated olefin from arylphosphine, in turn, increases as the electronegativity of the substituent on the aryl group of arylphosphines increases.

Natural anti-diabetic semipurified ethyl acetate fraction was isolated from the submerged-liquid culture of Agaricus blaze Murill (AB) in a medium containing soybean flakes. Hot-water extract of AB (HEAB) was prepared by extraction at $121^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, followed by filtering through a filter presser filled with diatomate. The ${\beta}$-glucan-free HEAB, which was a supernatant fraction from HEAB by precipitation in an 80% ethanol solution, was fractionated into hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and butanol fractions. The inhibition of the ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity by fractions was 59.0, 17.0, 61.6, and 37.9%, respectively, suggesting that ethyl acetate fraction was the most active. A subfraction having a strong ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity (80.4%) was isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction. This subfraction contained isoflavones (genistin and daidzin) and their conjugates with sugars as potent inhibiters of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity. These results suggest that the ethyl acetate fraction or HEAB containing isoflavones and their sugars conjugates could be useful sources for controlling blood sugar levels in humans.

Condensation of salicylaldehyde $(2-HOC_6H_4C(O)H)$ with allylamine afforded the unsaturated salicylaldimine, $2-HOC_6H_4C(H)=NCH_2CH=CH_2$. Similar reactivity was observed with substituted salicylaldehydes. Further reaction of these Schiff bases with palladium acetate or $Na_2PdCl_4$ afforded complexes of the type $PdL_2$, where L = deprotonated Schiff base. The molecular structure of the parent salicylaldimine palladium complex $[trans-(2-OC_6H_4C(H)=NCH_2CH=CH_2)_2Pd]$ (1) was characterized by an X-ray diffraction study. Crystals of 1 were monoclinic, space group $P2_1/n,\;a\;=\;14.0005(9)\;{\AA},\;b\;=7.2964(5)\;{\AA},\;c\;=\;17.5103(12)\;{\AA},\;{\beta}\;=\;100.189(1)^{\circ}$, Z = 4. Analogous chemistry with 4-vinylaniline also gave novel palladium complexes containing a pendant styryl group. Crystals of $[trans-(2-HOC_6H_4C(H)=N-4-C_6H_4CH=CH_2)_2Pd]$ (4) were monoclinic, space group $P2_1/c$, a = 13.7710(14) ${\AA}$, b = 11.0348(11) ${\AA}$, c = 7.8192(8) ${\AA}$, ${\beta}\;=\;98.817(2)^{\circ}$, Z = 2.

개구리의 난자로 부터 maturation promoting factor(MPF)를 추출, 부분 분리하여 이들의 활성을 조사하고 이 물질의 생성과 protein kinase C(반KC)와의 관계를 조사하SB다. 성숙된 난자를 분쇄한 후 초원심분리과정을 거쳐 MPF의 crude extract(CE)를 얻은 다음 ultrafiltration (UF)과 고속액체크로마토그라피를 거쳐서 3종류의 분획 (peak 1, 11, and 111)을 얻었다. 이들 분획을 in nitro assay와 autoradiDgraphy를 사용하여 확인한 결과 분획 11에서 MPF 활성이 있는 것을 알았다. 분리 단계에 따라 MPF의 정제도를 Hl histone kinase assay로 조사한 결깍 UF를 거친 것은 CE보다 약 3배로, 분획 11에서는 약 117배로 증가한 것을 확인하였다. 또한 MPF분획의 인산화를 autoradiography로 조사한 결과 45 KD 단백질을 포함한 수종의 난자 단백질이 강하게 인산화되었음을 알 수 있었다. PKC의 활성화가 난자내 MPF의 생성을 유도하는가를 보기 위하여 PKC의 활성제인 12-0-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13 acetate(TPA)를 처리한 난자의 세포질 추출물을 미세주입 법으로 조사한 결과 TPA 처리 후 6시간부터 난자내 MPF의 활성이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과들은 PKC의 활성화가 MPF의 생성을 유도하고, MPF의 활성화와 함께 일부 단백질들의 인산화를 통하여 궁극적으로 난자 성숙을 촉진했음을 시사한다.

Radical scavenging and antioxidant activities of Laminaria japonica and fermented its extracts were evaluated. Freeze-dried L. japonica was fermented by Aspergillus oryzae and extracted with distilled water. The extract solution was mixed with ethanol and centrifuged. The supernatant was ethanol soluble fraction, non-polysaccharide fraction (ESF), and residue was ethanol insoluble precipitation, polysaccharide fraction (EIP). ESF was subjected to sequential fractionation with dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, butanol and water. To determine the radical scavenging and antioxidant activities of these, DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion radical scavenging activities and linoleic acid oxidation were tested. Among the extracts, ESF of fermented L. japonica showed the highest radical scavenging activity. The ESF showed DPPH radical scavenging activity of 64.33% at concentration of $50{\mu}g/mL$. It was higher than 57.70% of vit. C. Ethyl acetate and butanol fraction had high value of radical scavenging and antioxidant activities, especially butanol fraction of fermented L. japonica was 79.48 % of hydroxyl radical scavenging activity at concentration of $50{\mu}g/mL$. The fermented L japonica had radical scavenging and antioxidant activities higher than L. japonica. These results suggest that fermented L japonica is healthy food having radical scavenging and antioxidant activities.

In the screening for lipid peroxidation inhibitors from edible mushroom, Agrocybe cylindracea, a bioactive compound AG 8 was isolated. The AG 8 was purified from methanol extract of its fruit body by Diaion HP-20 column chromatography, ethyl acetate extraction, and silica gel column chromatography, consecutively. Based on various NMR studies including $^1$H irradiation and HMBC experiments, the AG 8 was identified as MTA, 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine. This compound inhibited lipid peroxidation with an $IC_{50}$/ value of 3.2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$. The MTA was isolated for the first time from basidiomycetes.

Effects of temperature and relative humidity on fat soluble vitamin contents in two commercial vitamin tablets ('Multivitamin Dandelion' and 'vitamin E Yarrow') were investigated. When they stored at different temperature (25, 35, and $45^{\circ}C$) with cap and stored at low relative humidity (11% RH) without cap, all fat soluble vitamins (vitamin A acetate, vitamin E acetate and vitamin E) were stable during 24 weeks of storage period. However, when they stored at high relative humidity (75% RH and 100% RH) without cap, vitamin A acetate and vitamin E acetate dramatically disintegrated at the early stage of storage. On the other hand, vitamin E gradually decreased during storage. Therefore, stability of some fat soluble vitamins, which exist as acetate form, was highly dependent on relative humidity rather than storage temperature. Water may act as a plasticizer and increased the mobility of molecules in vitamin tablet resulting in relatively fast disintegration of some fat soluble vitamins.
