Polymers containing tetrazole groups are very attractive as energetic materials. Copolymer having tetrazole groups could be obtained by 3-steps from commercially available epichlorohydrin. These methods provide a new synthetic pathway to construct polymers containing tetrazole groups from non-energetic polynitrile compounds. These polymers are expected to be good candidates for green and high energetic materials.

A new method for synthesizing the tetrazole derivatives from secondary amines through cyanation/tetrazolation has been developed. Trichloroacetonitrile is used as the cyano source to synthesize N-nitrile instead of highly toxic and expensive cyanogen bromide. In this protocol, the reaction of secondary amines with various substituents proceed smoothly, and the desired tetrazole derivatives are obtained directly in fair to high yields without isolation of intermediate cyanamides.

To elucidate the dependability of seed variability determination by tetrazolium, 15 tree species were checked. For the comparison of potential germinability for these tree seeds, x-ray photography and routine germination test in a incubator were implemented. Though there were considerable differences of seed variability in percentage between germination test and tetrazolium test, the judgement by tetrazolium test and x-ray test gave similar results. These findings indicated that tetrazolium test is a reliable method if treated and inferred properly. Solution of 0.25 percent tetrazolium could give a complete colour reaction as well as 0.50 percent solution.

Gastrodia elata (GE) is a oriental medicinal herb which has been used traditionally for the treatment of various brain diseases including convulsion and epilepsy. In orde r to examine the mechanism of anticonvulsive effect, we treated the methanol extract of GE (500mg/kg, P.0) to the pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced convulsive rats. Methanol extracts of GE significantly inhibited (35%) the convulsion state as well as the level of lipid peroxidation (25%) in the brain. The ether fraction of methanol extracts among the others effectively ibhibited in vitro lipid peroxidation dose dependently ($5.O{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}2.O{\times}1O^{-5}g/ml$). The scavenging effect on hydroxy radicals was found in all the fractions of ether, butanol, and dichloromethane. These results suggest that the anticonvulsive effect of GE is possibly due to the antioxidative effects of the active components in GE.

Nelumbo nucifera(NN) is a oriental medicinal herb which has been used traditionally for the treatment of antidiarrhea, sedative action and various brain diseases including convulsion and epilepsy. In order to examine the mechanism of anticonvulsive effect, we treated the methanol extract of NN(100, 200 mg/kg, P.0) to the sleeping time and pentylenetetrazole(PTZ)-induced convulsive mice. The methanol extract of NN prolonged sleep time by pentobarbital. Methanol extracts of NN were not effected the concentration of GABA and GABA-T activity in the brain of PTZ-induced mice. Methanol extracts of NN significantly inhibited the convulsion state as well as the level of lipid peroxidation in the brain. The butanol and dichloromethane fraction of methanol extracts among the others effectively inhibited in vitro lipid peroxidation dose dependently($5.0{\times}10^{-6}\sim2.0{\times}10^{-5}\;g/ml$). These results suggest that the anticonvulsive effect of NN is possibly due to the antioxidative effects of the free radical formation at brain for the PTZ-induced convulsion if it were by due to generating system.

Solid fuel reacts with an oxidizer during combustion of a propellant to increase performance. Representative solid fuels are aluminum, cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) and octahydro-1, 3,5,7-tetra nitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocin (HMX). During combustion, these compounds generate white smoke by reacting with moisture and produce materials that are harmful to the environment, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane gas. This study prepared a high-nitrogen-containing energetic material, hydrazinium 5-aminotetrazolate (HAT), which could be applied as a solid fuel. The compound was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and a thermal analysis was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Also, the specific impulses and volumes of detonation gases were calculated using the EXPLO5 program.

In order to use the liquid rocket fuel, 1,5-diamino-4-methyltetrazolium azide, [DMT]⁺[N₃]^- and 1,5-diamino-4-methyltetrazolium cyanide, [DMT]⁺[CN]^- were synthesized and prepared the ionic liquid rocket fuel after dissolving the synthesized solid-type energetic chemicals in hydrazine, respectively. The thermal decomposition temperatures(T_d) and densities(d) of the prepared ionic liquid rocket fuels were about 200 ℃ and above 1.0 g/cm³ respectively. The ignition delay times(I_dt) of the ionic liqud rock fuels with [DMT]⁺[N₃]^- and [DMT]⁺[CN]^- were in a range of 26.6 - 82.5 ms and the 44.0 - 98.5 ms, respectively. These results mean that the synthesized tetrazolium salts could be used as an ionic liquid rocket fuels. The viscosities of the ionic liqud rock fuels with [DMT]⁺[N₃]^- and [DMT]⁺[CN]^-, which were dissolved in mixture solution of hydrazine/2-hydroxyethylhydrazine were to be 1.34 - 101 cP, and 1.29 - 80.5 cP, respectively. The synthesized ionic liquid rocket fuels in this study could be used as rocket fuel because the [I_dt(100 ms or less), T_d(150 ℃ or more), d(1.00 g/cm³ or more), and η(40.0~ 100 cP)] were achieved to satisfy the range of the used liquid rocket fuels.

Morinda officinalis (MO) is a oriental medicinal herb which has been used traditionally for the treatment of impotence, anti-inflammatory, menstrual irregularity action and various brain diseases including antidepressant and anti-stress. In order to examine the mechanism of anticonvulsive effect, we treated the methanol extract of MO (100, 200 mg/kg, P.0) to the sleeping time and pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced convulsive mice. The methanol extract of MO prolonged sleep time by pentobarbital. Dose-dependent of methanol extracts of MO were effected the concentration of GABA and GABA-T activity in the brain of PTZ-induced mice. Methanol extracts of MO significantly inhibited the convulsion state as well as the level of lipid peroxidation in the brain. The butanol and dichloromethane fraction of methanol extracts among the others effectively inhibited in vitro lipid peroxidation dose dependently ($5.0{\times}10^{-2}{\sim}20.0{\times}10^{-2}g/ml$).

애기똥풀(Chelidonium majus L. subsp. asiaticum H.Hara)의 지상부는 백굴채라고 불리며 항암, 항균 등의 효능을 가지고 있어 예로부터 약용으로 이용되었다. 그러나 천연 약용소재로 개발가치가 높음에도 불구하고 실생묘의 대량 확보를 위한 종자번식 관련 연구가 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 애기똥풀의 발아 및 휴면 특성을 분석함으로써 추후 종자번식을 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 수행되었다. 실험재료로 사용된 애기똥풀 종자는 2019년 6월 경상북도 봉화군에서 채종하였으며 정선 후 건조상태로 실온(25℃)에 보관하였다. 종자의 1000립중은 0.57±0.01g이며, 배종비는 0.21±0.12로 조사되어 형태적으로 미성숙한 배를 가지고 있다. 종자의 활력은 테트라졸륨 검정을 통해 79%로 확인되었다. 종자의 기본 함수율은 7.64±0.25%였으며, 침지 2일 차에 최대함수율(32.6±0.34%)에 도달하였다. 초기 발아검정은 25/15℃ (light/dark, 16/8h)챔버에서 명조건과 암조건으로 구분하여 30일간 진행하였으며, 암조건은 알루미늄 호일로 광을 완전히 차단하고 최종 발아율만 조사하였다. 발아율을 조사한 결과, 명조건은 0.75±0.80%, 암조건은 5.50±1.55%로 조사되어 형태적인 휴면과 생리적인 휴면을 모두 갖는 것으로 판단하였다. 애기똥풀의 생태적인 환경을 고려하여 12주의 Summer temperature(S12, 25/15℃, 16/8h)로 층적하고 연속하여 Autumn temperature(A, 15/10℃, 16/8h)를 4주(A4)와 8주(A8)로 달리하여 종자의 휴면타파를 유도하였다. 층적 후 발아율은 모두 증가되었으며, S12-A4(54%)는 S12-A8(24.5%)에 비해서 휴면타파에 효과적이었다. 휴면타파 효과의 증진을 위해 층적처리한 종자를 500ppm의 GA₃와 GA₄₊₇에 각 24시간동안 4℃에서 침지시킨 뒤 동일한 조건에 파종하였다. GA₃가 처리된 S12-A4는 발아율이 82.0%, S12-A8는 30.8%로 유의적으로 증가하였으나 GA₄₊₇ 처리는 S12-A4(48.5%)와 S12-A8(21.3%)에서 발아율 향상 효과가 없었다. 결론적으로 애기똥풀의 휴면타파를 위해서 12주의 Summer temperature와 4주의 Autumn temperature 변온층적과 추가 GA₃ 처리가 휴면타파를 위한 효과적인 처리방법으로 판단된다.
