The experimental rabbits were infested with 300 of metacercariae of Clonorchis sinensis. The therapeutic effects of following 6 kinds of hexachlorophene derivatives on infected rabbits were compared with those of hexachlorophene and 2,2-methylenebis (3,4,6-trichlorophenoxy acetic acid) (MTPA). The drugs were medicated by mouth for 7 days after infection of 40 days, and the following results were obtained. 1) The therapeutic effects of following four hexachlorophene derivatives are less potant than those of hexachlorophene and MTPA. 2) Among hexachlorophene derivatives, 2,2-methylenebis (3,4,6-trichlorophenoxy benzoylate) and 2,2-methylenebis (3,4,6-trichlorophenoxy ${\beta}-ethly$ alcohol) are more effective than 1,1-dihydroxy ethyl ether, 2,2-methylenebis (3,4,6-trichlorobenzene) (Table 1).

In our ongoing search for structurally interesting and biologically active metabolites from Korean wild mushrooms, bioassay-guided fractionation and a chemical investigation of the MeOH extracts of the fruiting bodies of the mushroom Naematoloma fasciculare resulted in the isolation of three ergosterol derivatives, (22E,24R)-ergosta-7,22-diene-$3{\beta}$,$5{\alpha}$,$6{\beta}$,$9{\alpha}$-tetrol (1), (22E,24R)-$5{\alpha}$,$8{\alpha}$-epidioxyergosta-6,22-diene-$3{\beta}$-ol 3-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (2), and (22E,24R)-$5{\alpha}$,$8{\alpha}$-epidioxyergosta-6,9,22-triene-$3{\beta}$-ol 3-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (3). The structures of 1 - 3 were determined by comparison of their spectroscopic and physical data with reported values. The isolated steroid derivatives 1 and 3 were reported for the first time from this mushroom. Compounds 1 - 3 were tested for their cytotoxic activities against four human cancer cell lines (A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, and HCT-15).

A series of N-substituted-1,3-isoindolinedione derivatives (2-16) were synthesized for the purpose of defining the effect of N-substitution on the anticonvulsant activity of these derivatives. The target compounds (2-16) were obtained by condensation of phthalic anhydride with the corresponding amine derivative. The structures of the synthesized derivatives (2-16) were confirmed by means of IR, $^1$H-NMR, $^{13}$ C-NMR, MS and elemental analyses. The anticonvulsant activity of all compounds (2-16) were evaluated by subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole seizure threshold test at doses of 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 mmol/kg compared with sodium valproate as a positive control. Their neurotoxicity were determined by the rotorod test. Many of the present series of compounds showed good anticonvulsant activity at the tested doses, as compared to sodium valproate. Three of them (4, 6 and 11) exhibited 100 % protection against convulsions, neurotoxicity and death at all tested doses. Out of the series, two compounds (12 and 13) were completely inactive with 100% mortality. 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-4-(1 ,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1 H-2-isoindolyl) butanoic acid derivative (11) has emerged as the most active compound which is 20 times more active than valproate with ED$_{50}$ 8.7, 169 mg/kg; TD$_{50}$ 413, 406 mg/kg and PI 47.5, 2.4. The results revealed the importance of the combination of baclofenic and phthalimide moieties (compound 11) as a promising anticonvulsant candidate.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the separation and quantification of chrysin and synthetic chrysin derivatives (12 chrysin alkyl and 7 chrysin acyl derivatives). The chromatography was performed using a $Nova-Pak^{\circledR}C_{18}$ column. A RP-HPLC was performed by using a binary mixture (MeOH-10 mM H$_3$PO$_4$) as a mobile phase, and the column temperature was maintained at room temperature. A flow rate was 1.0 ml/min, and the effluent was monitored at a wavelenth of 280 nm. The retention times for chrysin acyl and alkyl derivatives were within 10 minutes and 20 minutes, respectively. The absolute recovery of samples were all over 96%. The detection limits were 0.1~18 ng at S/N = 3 ratio.

Oleanolic acid (OA) has neurotrophic effects on neurons, although its use as a neurological drug requires further research. In the present study, we investigated the effects of OA and OA derivatives on the neuronal differentiation of rat hippocampal neural progenitor cells. In addition, we investigated whether the class II histone deacetylase (HDAC) 5 mediates the gene expression induced by OA. We found that OA and OA derivatives induced the formation of neurite spines and the expression of synapse-related molecules. OA and OA derivatives stimulated HDAC5 phosphorylation, and concurrently the nuclear export of HDCA5 and the expression of HDAC5 target genes, indicating that OA and OA derivatives induce neural differentiation and synapse formation via a pathway that involves HDAC5 phosphorylation.

The chromatographic enantiomer separation of 9-anthraldimine derivatives of ${\alpha}$-amino acid methyl and ethyl esters on four polysaccharide based chiral columns was performed. The 9-anthraldehyde Schiff base derivatives of ${\alpha}$- amino acid esters were readily synthesized by stirring the ${\alpha}$- amino acid ester hydrochloride salts with 9-anthraldehyde in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0]undec-7-ene as a base and anhydrous $MgSO_4$. Chiralcel OD or Chiralcel OD-H showed the greatest enantiomer resolution of 9-anthraldimine derivatives of ${\alpha}$-amino acid methyl and ethyl esters. The L-enantiomers of all the analytes were preferentially retained on Chiralcel OD or Chiralcel OD-H. This analytical method was applied in the determination of optical purities of several commercially available D- or L-${\alpha}$-amino acid methyl esters.

A series of polyethers containing the thiazole or oxazole subcyclic moiety have been synthesized. Reaction of 2-aryl-4-hydroxymethylthiazole with tetra- and pentaethylene glycol di-p-tosylate in THF provided corresponding α,ω-bis[2'-aryl-4'-methylthiazole]polyethylene glycol in good yields. Similar treatment of 2-phenyl-4-hydroxymethyloxazole 7 and 2-phenyl-5-hydroxymethyloxazole 8 with tetraethylene glycol di-p-tosylate yielded the corresponding 1,13-bis [2'-phenyl-4'-methyloxazole]tetraethylene glycol 16 and 1,13-bis[2'-phenyl-5'-methyloxazole]tetraethylene glycol 17 in 69 and 43% yields in respectively. The potentiometric properties of PVC-based ion selective membranes containing 66 wt% o-nitrophenyloctyl ether (NPOE) and 4 wt% polyethers 9-17 have been examined. The membranes containing thiazole and oxazole polyether derivatives exhibited high selectivity toward silver (I) ion. It was observed that the response slopes of the electrodes to silver ion vary with the length of polyether chain linking two thiazole subcyclic moiety. Potentiometric data suggest that the number of ether units, CH2OCH2, for phenylthiazole derivatives be greater than 5 to result in near-Nernstian response. However, the response behaviors of the membrane electrodes based on phenyloxazole podands 16 and 17, which have different orientation, were correspondingly similar to those of the electrodes based on phenylthiazole podands 9 and 10. On the other hand, the ISEs based on thiazole polyether derivatives with different terminal substituents, e.g., phenyl 10, naphtyl 14, and thienyl 15, except that with pyridyl 12, exhibited little difference in their potentiometric properties.

A new series of methotrexate analogues was prepared in which the ${\beta}-position$ of the glutamic acid moiety is substituted by the aryl groups. The glutamic acid moiety was modified in order to enhance the lipophilic property. Reaction of N-acetylglicine ester[1] with ethyl 3-arylacrylate derivatives[2] produced trans-3-aryl-2-carboxy-5-pyrrolidone derivatives[3], which were hydrolyzed to give ${\beta}-aryl-glutamic$ acid derivatives[4]. The compounds[4] were treated with the p-aminobenzoic acid moiety and then with the pteridine ring moiety to give ${\beta}-arylmethotrexate$ derivatives[6,7]. These compounds were tested for antibacterial activity against Streptococcus faecium and for antitumor activity against murine leukemias and against human tumor cell lines in vitro. Several compounds showed significant antibacterial activity.

The development of efficient electron donor (or hole-transporting) molecules that can be used in various optoelectronic device fields is highly demanded. In this work, a novel class of triptycene-based three-dimensional (3D) triphenylamine (TI-TPA) derivatives with different end substituents was designed and prepared for transparent electron donor materials. Owing to the rigid 3D triptycene framework, the obtained TI-TPA derivatives had an amorphous morphology with high thermal decomposition temperature. The oxidation potential of these TI-TPA derivatives decreased as the electron donating strength of the end substituent increased. Among TI-TPA derivatives, TI-TPA-OMe exhibited the highest HOMO level (-5.31 eV) which is similar to that of Spiro-OMeTAD (-5.22 eV). In addition, TI-TPA-OMe was found to form a strong charge transfer complex with the triptycene-based acceptor TI-BQ, leading to a new absorption band at around 640 nm. These results can be applied for developing efficient electron donor materials that can mimic the advantages of the spiro-linked structure and TPA units of Spiro-OMeTAD.

Recent investigations have shown that certain flavonoids, especially flavone derivatives, inhibit nitric oxide (NO) production by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) in macrophages, which contrib-ute their anti-inflammatory action. For the purpose of finding the optimized chemical structures of flavonoids that inhibit NO production, various A- and B-ring substituted flavones were syn-thesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity using lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW 264.7 cells. It was found that the optimal chemical structures were A-ring 5,7-dihydroxyflavones hav-ing the B-ring 2＇,3＇-dihydroxy or 3＇,4＇-dihydroxy or 3＇,4＇-hydroxy/methoxy (methoxy/hydroxy) groups. These structurally optimized compounds were revealed to be down-regulators of iNOS induction, but not direct iNOS inhibitors. Of these derivatives that were evaluated, 2＇,3＇,5,7-tet-rahydroxyflavone and 3＇,4＇,5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone (Iuteolin) showed the strongest inhibition. The $IC_{50}$/ values for these compounds were 19.7 and 17.1 11M, respectively. Therefore, these compounds may have a potential as new anti-inflammatory agents.
