The roots of Pueraria mirifica were extracted with 70% aqueous ethyl alcohol and partitioned into ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butyl alcohol (BuOH), and $H_2O$ fractions, successively. From the EtOAc fraction, four norsesquiterpenes were isolated through the repeated silica gel, octadecyl silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographies. On the basis of physicochemical and spectroscopic data including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry, and infrared spectroscopy, the chemical structures were identified as megastigm-5-en-3,9-diol (1), linarionoside B (2), 3,5,6,9-tetrahydroxymegastigm-7-ene (3) and 3,4,9-trihydroxymegastigma-5,7-diene (4). Especially, the configuration of the anomer hydroxyl group was determined as a from the coupling constants of the anomer proton (J =8.0 Hz) in the $^1H$-NMR spectrum. These compounds were isolated for the first time from the roots of P. mirifica in this study.

Six dammarane-type triterpenoids, dammar-24-en-$3{\beta}$-ol (1), $3{\beta}$-epicabraleahydroxy lactone (2), (E)-25-hydroperoxydammar-23-en-$3{\beta}$,20-diol (3), dammar-24-en-$3{\beta}$,20-diol (4), $3{\beta}$-acetyl-20S,24S-epoxy-25-hydroxydammarane (5), and $3{\beta}$-epiocotillol (6) were isolated from the methanolic extract of the bark of Aglaia elliptica. The chemical structure were identified on the basis of spectroscopic evidence and by comparison with those spectra previously reported. Compounds 1 - 6 were isolated first time from this plant. Compounds 1 - 6, along with a known synthetic analog, cabraleone (7) were evaluated their cytotoxic activity against P-388 murine leukimia cells in vitro. Among those compounds $3{\beta}$-acetyl-20S,24S-epoxy-25-hydroxydammarane (5) showed strongest cytotoxic activity with $IC_{50}$ value of $8.02{\pm}0.06{\mu}M$.

A study on the behavior of boron extraction by TMPD(2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol) was carried out to find the optimum conditions for the boron extraction from brine. In case of boron extraction from 0.736 g/L boron-containing brine, typical optimum extractive conditions would be confirmed to be 0.75 mol/L of extractant concentration at 3.0 pH of brine with 1 of phase ratio and 20 min. of shaking time at 298 K respectively. And 1 mol/L sodium hydroxide of stripping agent was shown above 99 % of boron extraction and stripping efficiencies. Also, extraction equilibrium equation were obtained through experiments as follows : log D = 1.7 log $[TMPD]_O$ + constant at pH < 6.

폴리에틸렌 나프탈레이트(PEN)는 열적 및 물리적 특성이 우수한 고분자로서 포장재료, 필름, tire cord 등으로 그 이용범위가 확대되고 있는 고분자이다[l]. 그러나 강직한 분자사슬을 가지고 있는 PEN은 고결정성과 소수성 둥으로 인해 흡습성, 제전성 및 염색성이 좋지 못하고 성형가공이 어려운 단점도 있다. 이미 동종계열인 PET의 경우 그러한 단점을 개선하고자 합성반응시 diol과 같은 제 3의 단량체를 사용하여 공축합하는 연구[2-3]가 시도된바 있으나 PEN의 경우 아직 이에 관한 연구보고가 없는 실정이다. (중략)

A study was carried out to determine the effect of ginseng saponin an its related materials on aflatoxin production by Aspergillus parasiticus NRRL2999 in glucose-salts(GS) medium. Maximal growth of the mold and AF froduction in the medium occurred after 5 and 9 days at $28^{\circ}C$, respectively. When various concentrations of saponin added to the medium aflatoxin synthesis were significantly reduced (p<0.05) compared to the control after 9 days at $28^{\circ}C$. 0.05% of saponin inhibited aflatoxin production most effectively in the low concerntrations of saponin (0.01-0.2%) and the toxin synthesis reduced with an increasing concentrations of saponin in the high concentrations (0.03-5.0%). Various concentrations (0.01-1.0%) of saponin diol and triol in the media also caused to reduce aflatoxin synthesis by the mold (p<0.05). All saponin fractions were found to decrease aflatoxin production significantly. Saponin fraction numbers of 1,2,4 and 6 were shown to reduce aflatoxin production effectively, and the number 1 was the most effective. Addition of 0.05% of nucleic acid related materials to the medium reduced aflatoxin production (p<0.05). Aflatoxins could not be found in broth at all, but in mycelia when 0.05% of caffeine was added to the medium. Aflatoxin synthesis was well correlated with total lipid synthesis, growth and glucose uptake. When aflatoxin synthesis inhibited (5.0% of saponin) both total lipid synthesis and growth were stimulated and the efficiency of glucose utilization was reduced.

Polyurethane prepolymers were prepared from poly (carbonate diol), isophrone diisocyanate and dimethylol propionic acid. Then, aniline terminated waterborne polyurethane dispersion (ATPUD) was synthesized by capping the NCO group of the prepolymer with aniline monomer. Subsequently, ATPUD and waterborne polyurethane dispersion (PUD), respectively, were blended with conducting polymer, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/polystyrene sulfonate [PEDOT/PSS], to yield antistatic coating solutions, and the mixture was coated on the polycarbonate substrates. At adequate addition amounts of PEDOT/PSS less than or equal to 2.5 g, the surface resistances ($1.0{\times}10^{11}{\sim}2.5{\times}10^8{\Omega}/cm^2$) of coating films from ATPUD showed better electronic conductivities than those ($5.0{\times}10^{11}{\sim}6.3{\times}10^9{\Omega}/cm^2$) from PUD. However, at excess amount of PEDOT/PSS of 3.0 g, the surface resistance from ATPUD showed similar electronic conductivity with that from PUD.

Four kinds of new aliphatic diols were synthesized by the ring opening reaction of glycolide with 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,4-cyclohexanediol, or 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, a difunctional initiator, in the presence of stannous octoate catalyst. The resulting diols were melt-polymerized with succinic acid, adipic acid, or suberic acid at 170, 190, or $220^{circ}C$ to produce new sequentially ordered aliphatic polyesters and their corresponding polyesters with random structure. Their glass transition temperatures ($T_g$) ranged from -40 to $30^{circ}C$, The sequentially ordered polyesters prepared at $170^{cir}C$ had higher $T_g$ of 5 to $10^{circ}$ than the polyesters with rand()m structure produced at higher temperature. From in-vitro degradation test the sequentially ordered polyesters was shower in the rate of hydrolysis in a buffer solution than the polymers with random molecular structure.

Activity-guided fractionation of the n-hexane and ${CHCl_3}-soluble$ fractions of Sindora sumatrana using a bioassay based on the inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells led to the isolation of the known compound, $(+)-7{\beta}-acetoxy-15,16-epoxy-3$, 13(16), 14-clero-datriene-18-oic acid (2) as an active constituent. In addition, a new trans-clerodane diterpenoid, (+)-2-oxokolavenic acid (1), together with six known compounds, (+)-3, 13-clerodadiene-16,15-olide-18-oic acid (3), $(+)-7{\beta}-acetoxy-3$,13-clerodadiene-16,15-olide-18-oic acid (4), $(+)-7{\beta}-acetoxy-16-hydroxy-3$,13-clerodadiene-16, 15-olide-18-oic acid (5), ${\beta}-caryophyllene$ oxide (6), $clovane-2{\beta},9{\beta}-diol (7),{\;}and{\;}caryolane-1,9{\beta}-diol$ (8) were isolated and found to be inactive. The structure of compound 1 was determined using physical and spectroscopic methods such as 1D and 2D-NMR experiments. The known compounds 2-8 were identified by the spectroscopic data and by comparison with the published values. Of eight isolates (1-8), only compound 2 exhibited an iNOS inhibitory activity with $IC_{50}$/ value of $51.6{\;}\mu\textrm{m}M$.

Saprophagous fungi which were isolated from ginseng products were investigated the change of mycellial weight, saponin pattern and saponin contents according to culture periods at different of saponin concentration. Aspergillus sp. showed the greatest mycellial weight in 9 days at 0.3% saponin concentration as well as Penicillium specise A and B. Mycellial weight of all Saprophagous fungi was decresed than control group at 1.0% concentration of crude saponin. Saponin pattern were changed in 6th days of culture by Aspergillus sp. at 0.3% and deteriorated diol ginsenoside respectively. The amount of diol saponins was decreased all the duration of culture by Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp. B. whereas Pencillium sp. A was not any change. The amont of saponin in the fresh ginseng and white ginseng medium was decreased gradually according to culture periods by the saprophagous fungi.
