생리활성을 갖는 신규물질 탐색의 일환으로 1,3 치환 -5-chloropyrazole-4-carbonyl chloride를 합성한 뒤 8종의 aldoxime 또는 ketoxime과 친핵 반응시켜 15종의 pyrazole-oxime ester를 얻었으며, 이들의 구조를 $^1H,\;^{13}C-NMR$ 및 IR 등으로 확인하였다. 이 유도체들의 R. solani, P. oryzae, B. cinerea, P. graminearum, P. capsici 및 G. cingulata에 대한 균사생육억제효과를 검정한 결과, oxime 부위$(R^3)$가 친전자성기로 치환된 방향족인 경우가(III, XIII, XIV) 포화알킬기인 경우보다 우수한 효과를 보여주었다.

The biological effects of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (cPAHs) including benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), dibenzo[a,h]anthracene (DBA), benzo[a]anthracene (BaA), benzo[b] fluoranthene (BbF), benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF), and indeno[1,2,3-c, d]pyrene (InP) on transcriptomic changes were determined in the liver of Oryzias latipes. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by binary exposure to cPAHs (BaP+BaA, BaP+BbF, BaP+BkF, BaP+DbA, BaP+InP) were screened by annealing control primers-based polymerase chain reaction followed by sequence analysis and BLAST searching. The results showed that four DEGs were commonly expressed by cPAHs and they were identified as ribosomal protein S4, coagulation factor II, elongation factor 1 beta, and a predicted protein similar to human immunodeficiency virus type I enhancer binding protein 3. This finding suggests that binary exposure to cPAHs interferes protein synthesis required for fundamental liver functions in fish.

Plants have evolved a vast chemical cornucopia to support their sessile lifestyles. Man has exploited this natural resource since Neolithic times and currently plant-derived chemicals are exploited for a myriad of applications. However, plant sources of most high-value natural products (NPs) are not domesticated and therefore their production cannot be undertaken on an agricultural scale. Further, these plant species are often slow growing, their populations limiting, the concentration of the target molecule highly variable and routinely present at extremely low concentrations. Plant cell and organ culture constitutes a sustainable, controllable and environmentally friendly tool for the industrial production of plant NPs. Further, advances in cell line selection, biotransformation, product secretion, cell permeabilisation, extraction and scale-up, among others, are driving increases in plant NP yields. However, there remain significant obstacles to the commercial synthesis of high-value chemicals from these sources. The relatively recent isolation, culturing and characterisation of cambial meristematic cells (CMCs), provides an emerging platform to circumvent many of these potential difficulties.

Octadeca-9,12-dienyl-3,4,5-hydroxybenzoate (GA-LA) was chemically synthesized from gallic acid and linoleic acid ester, and its biological functions were tested. Radical-scavenging activity of GA-LA was comparable to those of gallic and ascorbic acids at 0.24 mM, and tyrosinase inhibition effect was higher than that of ascorbic acid. Gallic and linoleic acids did not show any tyrosinase activity. Results of cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition effect indicate GA-LA has higher selectivity in COX-1 inhibition. GA-LA from gallic and linoleic acids could be used as functional reagent for antioxidative, skin-whitening, and anti-inflammatory effects in food, pharmaceutrical, and cosmetic industries.

나일론의 단량체인 아디픽산을 바이오매스인 갈락토스로부터 얻기 위한 효율적인 합성법을 개발하였다. 백금촉매를 이용한 갈락토스의 산화반응을 통해 얻어진 갈락타릭산으로부터 마이크로웨이브를 이용한 탈산소탈수(DODH)반응을 통하여 30 min의 매우 짧은 반응 시간 안에 97%의 높은 수율로 아디픽산의 주요 중간체인 뮤코네이트를 합성하였다. 생성된 뮤코네이트는 팔라듐 촉매를 이용한 수소화 반응 및 가수분해 반응을 통하여 성공적으로 나일론의 단량체인 고순도의 아디픽산으로 전환되었다.

여러종류의 리파제를 이용하여 $({\pm})-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-cyano-2-phenyl-1-hexanol(2)$와 이의 acetate ester(3)을 광학분할하고 분할된 화합물들을 이용하여 (R) 및 (S)-systhane을 합성하였다. 현재 상품으로 팔리고 있는 $({\pm})-systhane$과 (R) 및 (S)-systhane의 항균활성을 조사하여 2 ppm의 농도에서 모든 systhane이 밑붉은녹병과 보리흰가루병에 대하여 92%의 항균활성을 보여주었으나 (R) 및 (S)-systhane이 $({\pm})-systhtne$보다 더 좋은 항균팔성을 보여주지는 않았다.

In order to understand the biological role of calmodulin in plants, transgenic plants expressing a mutant calmodulin (VU-4, Iys to ile-115) have been analyzed. We found that tobacco plants expressing VU-4 calmodulin have approximately twofold higher $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels than the control plants. Cell suspension cultures established from the stem explants of the transgenic tobacco seedlings also have higher levels of GABA than the control cell cultures. Specific activity of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), which catalyzes the decarboxylation of glutamate to $CO_2$ and GABA, of the transgenic tobacco cell extracts was about twofold higher than the activity of the control cell extracts. Western-blot analysis showed that the GAD is highly expressed in the transgenic tobacco plants. GAD partially purified from tobacco cell extracts showed approximately threefold $Ca^{2+}$/calmodulin-dependent activation. These data suggest that GABA synthesis in the transgenic tobacco plants is elevated, possibly due to higher levels of the calmodulin-dependent GAD enzyme and/or as a result of enhanced activation due to increased levels of the foreign calmodulin.

N-Alkyl/benzyl substituted isatin derivatives are intermediates and synthetic precursors for the preparation of biological active heterocycles. N-alkyl/benzyl isatins have showed various biological activities, such as cytotoxicity, antiviral, caspase inhibition, cannabinoid receptor 2 agonists for the treatment of neuropathic pain, etc. In this study, N-alkyl/benzyl isatin derivatives were synthesized from isatin and alkyl/benzyl halides in presence of K₂CO₃ in DMF and excellent to quantitative yields (~95%) were obtained. Isatins and benzyl-isatins were condensed with fluorescein hydrazide to form fluorescein hydrazone. All the compounds were subjected to their fragmentation behavior study using LC/MSⁿ. N-Alkyl substituted isatin derivatives fragmented at nitrogen-carbon (N-C) bond, hence gave daughter ion as [RN+H]⁺. Whereas, N-benzyl substituted isatin derivatives fragmented at carbon-carbon (C-C) bond of alkyl chain which linked with nitrogen molecules, therefore gave N-methyl fragments [RNCH₂]⁺. This study demonstrated that, isatin moiety present in a small/large molecule or in a matrix of reaction mixture with/without N-alkyl/benzyl substituents can be identified by mass spectroscopic fragmentation behavior study.

양 밀단에 methacryl기를 함유한 polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)을 가교제로 하여 poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAAm)을 합성하여 PDMS를 함유한 PNIPAAm을 얻었다. IR, DSC를 이용하여 그것들의 성질을 조사하였으며 DSC 조사결과 PNIPAAm과 PDMS는 각각 분리된 상으로 존재하는 것이 확인되었으며, PNIPAAm의 $T_g$는 PDMS의 함량이 증가하면 약간씩 감소하였다. 또한 온도에 따른 팽윤도를 조사한 결과 PDMS의 함량이 증가하면 팽윤도는 감소하였으나 lower critical solution temperature(LCST)는 큰 변화가 없었다. 수팽윤된 중합체의 DSC 측정결과도 LCST는 PDMS의 함량에 영향을 받지 않는 다는 것을 확인하였다.

Biofuel has been considered as promising renewable energy to solve various problems that result from increasing usage of fossil fuels since the early 20th century. In terms of chemical and physical properties as fuel, biobutanol has more merits than bioethanol. It could replace gasoline for transportation and industrial demand is increasing significantly. Production of butanol can be achieved by chemical synthesis or by microbial fermentation. The water hyacinth, an aquatic macrophyte, originated from tropical South America but is currently distributed all over the world. Water hyacinth has excellent water purification capacity and it can be utilized as animal feed, organic fertilizer, and biomass feedstock. However, it can cause problems in the rivers and lakes due to its rapid growth and dense mats formation. In this study, the potential of water hyacinth was evaluated as a lignocellulosic biomass feedstock in biobutanol fermentation by using Clostridium beijerinckii. Water hyacinth was converted to water hyacinth hydrolysate medium through pretreatment and saccharification. It was found that productivity of water hyacinth hydrolysate medium on biobutanol production was comparable to general medium.
