The effect of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) on the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ level was studied in NIH3T3 fibroblast cells. A reduction of the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ level was observed after exposure to 300 ${\mu}m$ MNNG. However, the intracellular level of $IP_3$, a well-known regulator of $Ca^{2+}$ release from internal storage, was not changed by MNNG treatment. Instead, a reduction of the intracellular NAD level was observed. NAD as well as $IP_3$ stimulated intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ release from permeabilized cells. The treatment of 3-aminobenzamide, which inhibited the MNNG-induced reduction of the NAD level, also prevented the MNNG-induced decrease of the $Ca^{2+}$ level. Our data suggest that MNNG reduces the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ level by NAD depletion in NIH3T3 cells.

A sensitive and quantiative method for the structural analysis of oligosaccharide was established for the glycoform analysis of glconproproteins. Inthis study, n-linked oligosaccharides of human IgG and bovine transferin were analyzed for the evaluation of the methydrate moiety ofthe method. Chrbohydrate moiety of glycoprotein was relased by hydrazinolysis and purified by paper chromatography. The oligosaccharides were labeled with a fluorescent bye, 2-aminobenzamide, for the enhancement of detection sensitivity. sialylated (acidic) oligosaccharides were separated from neutral oligosaccharide by employing a strong anion-exchange column(MonoQ) followed by the treatment with sialidase. Enzymatically desiayated fractions and neutral fractions of oligosaccharides were applied to normal-phase HPLC to resolve the peaks according to glucose unit (GU). The structure of separated molecules was further determined by sequential digestion with exoglycosidases. As a result, disialylated biantennary complextype oligosaccharide was found to be a major sugar chain in bovine transferrin (63%). In human IgG, core fucosylated asialobiantennary complex oligosaccharides were dominant. These results coincided well with reported results.

목적 : 이전 연구에서 단삼 추출액이 강력한 항산화 작용이 있음을 확인한 바 있어 단삼 추출액이 신장세뇨관 세포에서 oxidant에 의한 세포사망 및 DNA 손상을 방지하는 지를 조사하고 이러한 효과가 지질의 과산화를 억제하는 효과에 기인하는 지를 시험하였다. 방법 : 신장 근위세뇨관 세포 유래 세포주인 opossum kidney (OK)세포를 이용하여 세포 사망은 frypan blue exclusion방법을 이용하여 평가하였고, DNA손상 정도는 double stranded DNA의 파괴를 측정하여 평가하였다. Oxidant 약물 모델로는 $H_2O_2$를 사용하였다. 결과 : $H_2O_2$는 적용시 간과 농도에 비례하여 세포 사망을 유도하였다. 단삼 추출액은 0.05% 농도에서 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포사망 및 DNA 손상을 방지하였다. 이러한 방지효과는 $H_2O_2$ 제거 효소인 catalase와 철 착염제인 deferoxamine에 의해서도 나타났다. 그러나 강력한 항산화제인 DPPD는 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포 사망이나 DNA손상을 방지하지 못하였다. $H_2O_2$는 세포내 ATP 농도를 감소시켰으며. 이러한 감소는 poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase억제제인 3-aminobenzamide에 의해 방지되었으나 단삼 추출액에 의해서는 영향을 받지 않았다. 3-aminobenzamide는 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포 사망을 방지하였다. $H_2O_2$는 지질의 과산화를 증가시켰으며, 이러한 변화는 단삼 추출액과 DPPD에 의해 방지되었다 결론 : OK 세포에서 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포사망과 DNA 손상에는 지질의 과산화가 중요한 역할을 하지 않으며, 단삼 추출액의 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포 사망과 DNA 손상 방지 효과는 항산화 작용이 아닌 다른 기전에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다.

Quercetin is one of the most distributed flavonoids in the plant kingdom and occurs naturally in a wide range of fruits and vegetables. This study was undertaken to determine whether quercetin exerts beneficial effect against necrotic and apoptotic cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O2$) in intestinal cells using the human-derived cultured T84 colonic epithelial cell line. Necrotic cell death was induced by exposing cells to 0.5 mM $H_2O_2$ for 2 h and apoptosis was induced by incubating cells in normal culture medium for 18 h following exposure of cells to 0.5 mM $H_2O2$ for 2 h. Cell viability was evaluated by the trypan blue exclusion assay and apoptosis was assessed by Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry. $H_2O_2$ induced necrotic cell death in a time and dose-dependent fashion. Both necrotic and apoptotic cell deaths were not prevented by the antioxidants N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine(DPPD) and Trolox, whereas both cell deaths induced by the organic hydroperoxide t-butylhydroperoxide (tBHP) were prevented by DPPD, suggesting that $H_2O_2$ induces cell death through a lipid peroxidation-independent mechanism. $H_2O2$-induced necrotic death was prevented by deferoxamine and 3-aminobenzamide, while the apoptotic cell death was not affected by these agents. Quercetin prevented both necrotic and apoptotic cell deaths induced by $H_2O_2$ in a dose-dependent manner. $H_2O_2$ caused activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polmerase (PARP), which was inhibited by deferoxamine, 3-aminobenzamide, and quercetin, but not DPPD. These results indicate that quercetin inhibits both necroticand apoptotic deaths of T84 cells. The anti-necrotic effect of quercetin may be attributed to its iron chelator activity rather than a direct $H_2O_2$ scavenging capacity and antioxidant. The present study suggests that quercetin may play a therapeutic role in the treatment of human gastrointestinal diseases mediated by oxidants.

Nonclassical aminobenz[cd]indole antifolates 4, 5 and 6, in which the glutamic acid moiety of the classical antifolates is substituted by 2-phenylglycinamide or 3-aminobenzamide, were synthesized and their in vitro antitumor activity was evaluated. The purpose of this substitution is that the lipophilicity is enhanced due to the aromatic ring of the target compounds for the passive transport through lipid membrane of cells while the hydrogen bonding of the amide is retained in the active site of the enzyme, thymidylate synthase, where the glutamate is originally present. The target compounds were highly cytotoxic against tumor cell lines of murine and human origin with micromolar to nanomolar $IC_{50}$ values. Most effective was compound 4 ($N^6-methyl-N^6$-[4-[(${\alpha}$(S)-aminocarbonylbenzyl) aminocarbonyl]benzyl]-2,6-diaminobenz[cd]indole)with $IC_{50}$ of 2 nM against SW480, human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, which is 650-fold more potent than the reference compound 3.

Effect of hyperosmotic pressure on growth of recombinant Chinese hamster 。 vary cells and Erythropoietin (EPO) production was investigated. Cells were cultivated in batch modes at various osmolalities. When the osmolality increased from 314 to 463mOsm/Kg, specific EPO productivity (qp) was increased up to 1.6-fold but cell growth was inhibited. EPO has a complex oligosaccharide structure that plays an important role in biological activity in vivo. To investigate the influence of hypoerosmotic pressure on the glycosylation, structural analysis of oligosaccharide was calTied out. Recombinant human EPO was produced by CHO cells grown under various osmotic pressure and purified from culture supernatants by heparin-sepharose affinity column and immunoaffinity column. N-linked oligosaccharides were released enzymatically and isolated by paper chromatography. The isolated oligosaccharides were labeled with fluorescent dye, 2-aminobenzamide and analyzed with MonoQ anion exchange chromatography and GlycosepN amide chromatography for the assignment of GU (glucose unit) value. Glycan analysis by HPLC showed that neutral (asialo) oligosaccharide was increased slightly with an increase in osmolality. In portion of sialylated glycan, total relative amount of mono- and di-sialyated glycan was increased but that of tri- and tetra-sialylated glycan decreased as osmolality was increased.

When cells are exposed to low doses of a mutagenic or clastogenic agents. they often become less sensitive to the effects of a higher dose administered subsequently. Such adaptive responses were first described in Escherichia coli and mammalian cells to low doses of an alkylating agent. Since most of the studies have been carried out with human lymphocytes, it is urgently necessary to study this effect in different cellular systems. Its relation with inherent cellular radiosensitivity and underlying mechanism also remain to be answered. In this study, adaptive response by 1 cGy of gamma rays was investigated in three human lymphoblastoid cell lines which were derived from ataxia telangiectasia homozygote, ataxia telangiectasia heterozygote, and normal individual. Experiments were carried out by delivering 1 cGy followed by 50 cGy of gamma radiation and chromatid breaks were scored as an endpoint. The results indicate that prior exposure to 1 cGy of gamma rays reduces the number of chromatid breaks induced by subsequent higher dose (50 cGy), The expression of this adaptive response was similar among three cell lines despite of their different radiosensitivity. When 3-aminobenzamide, an inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, was added after 50 cGy, adaptive responses were abolished in all the tested cell lines. Therefore it is suggested that the adaptive response can be observed in human lymphoblastoid cell lines, which was first documented through this study. The expression of adaptive response was similar among the cell lines regardless of their radiosensitivity. The elimination of the adaptive response by 3-aminobenzamide is consistent with the proposal that this adaptive response is the result of the induction of a certain chromosomal repair mechanism.

A new heterogeneous acidic catalyst was successfully prepared by impregnation of silica (Aerosil 300) by an acidic ionic liquid, named 1-(4-sulfonic acid)butylpyridinium hydrogen sulfate [$PYC_4SO_3H$][$HSO_4$], and characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, the $N_2$ adsorption/desorption analysis (BET), thermal analysis (TG/DTG), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The amount of loaded acidic ionic liquid on Aerosil 300 support was determined by acid-base titration. This new solid acidic supported heterogeneous catalyst exhibits excellent activity in the synthesis of 2-aryl-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones by cyclocondensation reaction of 2-aminobenzamide with aromatic aldehydes under solvent-free conditions and the desired products were obtained in very short reaction times with high yields. This catalyst has the advantages of an easy catalyst separation from the reaction medium and lower problems of corrosion. Recycling of the catalyst and avoidance of using harmful organic solvent are other advantages of this simple procedure.

The attachment of 2-aminobenzamide to carboxylated multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-COOH was achieved through the formation of amide bonds. Then, the functionalized MWCNTs, MWCNT-amide, were treated by phosphoryl chloride to produce MWCNT-quin. The products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, derivative thermogravimetric, steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, and solubility testing. MWCNT-quin showed photo-electronic properties, which is due to the attachment of the 4-hydroxyquinazoline groups to them as proved by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. This suggests intramolecular interactions between the tubes and the attached 4-hydroxyquinazoline. The toxicity of the samples was evaluated in human embryonic kidney HEK293 and human breast cancer SKBR3 cell lines, and the viable cell numbers were measured by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) after the cells were cultured for 24 h. Cellular investigations showed that the modified MWCNTs, particularly MWCNT-quin, have considerably significant toxic impact on SKBR3 as compared to HEK293 at the concentration of 5 µg/mL.
