A Streptomyces strain YS-943, which produced amino acid antimetabolite, was isolated from soil. During the course of screening for new amino acid antimetabolites from the culture broth of Actinomycetes, we found that the strain produced a substance active against Gram-positive bacteria and its activity was reversed by L-methionine and L-histidine on the synthetic minimal agar medium in the culture broth.The morphological and cultural characteristics serve to identify the producing organism strain YS-943 as the genus Streptomyces. Fermentation was carried out in the synthetic medium at 28$\CIRC$C for 48 hours. The fermentation yield reached about 12 mg per liter of the broth. The YS-943 substance was obtained as white powder, mp 194$\CIRC$C and has the molecular formular of C$_{4}$H$_{8}$N$_{2}$O$_{4}$. Its structure was determined to be o-carbamyl-D-serine by spectroscopic data. It is active against some Gram-positive bacteria and reversed by L-methionine and L-histidine.

Introduction: Antimetabolites may cause severe toxicity and even toxic death in cancer patients. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between antimetabolite toxicity and pharmacogenetics in patients with severe clinical toxicity or alanine transaminase (ALT) elevation after fluorouracil (5FU), capecitabine or methotrexate administration. Patients and Methods: Cancer patients with severe antimetabolite toxicity were evaluated for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene C667T, thymidilate synthase (TS) gene 5´UTR variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR), dihydroprymidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) gene IVS14+1G/A, Xeroderma pigmentosum (XPD) gene Lys751Gln and X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) gene Arg399Gln polymorphisms. Results: Eighteen patients were enrolled, with a male/female ratio of 0.8. They had osteosarcoma in methotrexate group (n=7), gastrointestinal malignancies in 5FU group (n=9) and breast cancer in the capecitabine group (n=2). Mucositis and dermatitis occurred in all groups, together with ALT elevation in the methotrexate group and 2 toxic deaths were encountered. DPYD, TS, MTHFR, XPD and XRCC1 gene polymorphism rare allele frequencies were observed to be higher than in the general population. Conclusion: Pharmacogenetics might contribute to tailored therapy.

미생물이 생산하는 대사길항물질을 screening한 결과 최소검정배지에서 Gram 양성균에 항균활성을 나타내고 L-leucine에 의하여 그 항균활성이 길항당하는 182-27 물질을 생산하는 방선균을 토양에서 새로이 분리하였다. 본 생산균을 분류 동정한 결과, 유연균을 찾아볼 수가 없고 신 균종으로 동정하기에는 많은 type culture와의 비교분류를 하여야만 하므로 여기서는 다만 기균사의 포자형성과 세포벽 성분의 조성, 형태학적 성상 등으로 보다 Streptomyces sp.로만 동정하였다. 182-27 균주의 배양조건을 검토하고 최적조건에서 대량 배양하여 그 배양여액으로부터 이온교환수지, silica gel column chromatography 등에 의하여 활성 물질을 분리 정제하였으며 배양액 약 20$\ell$에서 약 20mg의 백색분말을 얻었다. 182-27 물질은 그의 이화학적 성질로 보아 아미노산 유연물질로 추정할 수가 있으나 그의 화학구조는 아직 밝히지 못했다. 생물학적 성질은 최소검정배지상에서 Gram 양성균에 항균력을 나타냈고 이러한 항균력은 L-leucine의 첨가에 의해 저해 당했다.

The Synthesis of E, E, E-12-fluorofarnesol and E, Z-6-fluorofarnesol which are key intermediates for the study of biosynthesis of some sesquiterpenes, is described. E, E-Farnesyl acetate is treated with selenium dioxide to give E, E, E-12-hydroxy farnesyl acetate, whih is transformed by DAST into E, E, E-12-hydroxy farnesyl acetate, which is transformed by DAST into E, E, E,-12-fluorofarnesylacetate. The latter compound is hydrolyzed to E, E, E,-12-fluorofarnesol. The reformatsky reaction of 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one with ethyl bromofluoroacetate affords ethyl 2-fluoro-3-hydroxy-3, 7 dimethyl-6-octanoate. This ester is acetylated and eliminated to give ethyl (Z)-2-fluoro-3, 7-dimethylocta-2, 6-dienoate, which is transformed to allyl bromide via allylic alcohol. The allyl bromide is treated with dianion of methyl acetate to give-keto ester. The $\beta$-keto ester is converted to diethyl phosphoryloxy compound. The conjugate addition of lithium dimethylcuprate to the latter compound gives fluoro ester, which is treated with DIBAL to afford E, Z-6-fluorofarnesol.

Immunosuppressive drugs are used to make the body less likely to reject transplanted organs or to treat autoimmune diseases. In this study, five immunosuppressive drugs including two glucocorticoids (dexamethasone and prednisolone), one calcineurin inhibitor (cyclosporin A), one non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (aspirin), and one antimetabolite (methotrexate) were tested for their effects on viral proliferation using feline foamy virus (FFV). The five drugs had different cytotoxic effects on the Crandell-Ress feline kidney (CRFK) cells, the natural host cell of FFV. Dexamethasone-pretreated CRFK cells were susceptible to FFV infection, but pretreatment with prednisolone, cyclosporin A, aspirin, and methotrexate showed obvious inhibitory effects on FFV proliferation, by reducing viral production to 29.8-83.8% of that of an untreated control. These results were supported by western blot, which detected viral Gag structural protein in the infected cell lysate. As our results showed a correlation between immunosuppressive drugs and susceptibility to viral infections, it is proposed that immune-compromised individuals who are using immune-suppressive drugs may be especially vulnerable to viral infection originated from pets.

The effects of antimetabolite, 6-aminonicotinamide (6-AN), on ultrastrudural changes in the spinal cord of golden hamster were investigated. Intraperitoneal administration of 6-AN (10 mg/kg body weight) every two days gave rise to a marked reduction of about $30\sim40%$ in body weight after $26\sim28$ days ($13\sim14th$ injection). In the lesions of the spinal cord, neuroglial cells such as astrocytes and oligodendrocytes were severely damaged, but neurons and blood vessels were not affected by 6-AN. The myelin sheath was also affected by 6-AN. Vacuoles observed in the lesions were produced by the swelling and degenerating changes of neuropils and neuroglial cells. Numerous swollen mitochondria and cisterns of rough endoplasmic reticulum were observed in the watery cytoplasm of damaged neuroglial cells, but intermediate filaments were well preserved. Especially in the damaged astrocytes, the outer nuclear membrane were partially swollen and formed a halfmoonlike structure. It is suggested that as well as the multivesicular bodies protruding from the swollen dendrites, the conjugation of adjacent vacuoles also participated in the formation of large vacuoles.
