Our purpose is to develop an efficient synthetic method of obtaining oligosaccharide unit in sufficient amounts to study functions of glycans. Many exoglycosidases have been used as tools for the oligosaccharide synthesis. In contrast, a limited number of reports are available on the utilization of endoglycosidases. We describe herewith the efficient synthetic method of useful oligosaccharides and derivatives as biomaterials utilizing lysozyme, cellulase, and lacto-N-biosidase-mediated transglycosyltions.

Novel pyrazolinecarbothioamide (5) was synthesized from chalcone (3) which was prepared from 2'-hydroxy-1'-acetonaphthone (1) and 2-methoxy benzaldehyde (2). Treatment of pyrazolinecarbothioamide (5) on HCT116 cancer cell showed upregulation of p21 and downregulation of cyclin D1 protein. Flowcytometer analysis revealed that pyrazolinecarbothioamide (5) controls the expression of cell cycle regulatory proteins, which blocks cell cycle progression of HCT116 cancer cell at the G1 phase.

It has been known that the novel diterphenoids, hericenone and erinacine isolated from the fruiting body and cultured mycelia of Hericium erinaceus showed potent stimulating activity of nerve growth factor (NGF)-synthesis. To investigate the biological activities of extracts from fruiting body, cultured mycelium and cell-free broth of H. erinaceus, the activity experiments of antioxidation and AChE inhibition were carried out. Sephadex G-10 gel filtration followed by HPLC on a ${\mu}Bondapak$ $C_{18}$ column of EtOAc extract from cultured mycelium showed a biological activity.

Native corn starch and montmorillonite caly nanocomposites were prepared using the glycerol as the plasticizer. These were characterized by mechanical analysis, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. The tensile strength increased with the clay content to a maximum point and then decreased due to gapping between the two phases. Dispersion of the layered silicate within the starch was verified using X-ray diffraction pattern. Examination of these materials by scanning electron showed that intercalates have good wetting to the starch surface.

New salens (3) and their Cobalt complexes (4) were prepared from meso-1,2-bis(ortho-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-diaminoethane (1) and substituted salicylic aldehydes (2). In contrast to symmetric structure of salen ligand (3), salen-Co(III) complexes (4) showed dissymmetric molecular structure due to participation of three hydroxyl groups in complex formation. One of the salens (3b) revealed decrease in Cyclin D1 expression, which represents anti-cancer property.

Differently substituted styrylquinoline derivatives (6-9) were synthesized by condensation of quinaldine (1) and corresponding substituted benzaldehydes (2-5). Their relative configuration at C11-C12 and coupling patterns were determined by NMR techniques.

Chiral dienophile 5 was synthesized from D-glucose by consecutive diisopropylidenation, partial deprotection, diol cleavage, and Wittig reactions. Under thermal conditions, asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction between chiral dienophile and cyclopentadiene gave four possible chiral norbornenes stereoisomers whose absolute configurations were determined through CADD and NMR.

Novel pyrazoline (4) was synthesized from chalcone (3) which was prepared from 2'-hydroxy-l'acetonaphthone (1) and 4-methoxy benzaldehyde (2). Pyrazoline (4) forms resonance assisted hydrogen bond between naphthol hydroxyl group and imine nitrogen in a pyrazoline ring. Pyrazoline (4) shows Poly ADP-ribose Polymerase (PARP) cleavage ability as a proof of apoptosis in cancer cell, which reveals its anti-cancer property.

Among 4'-substituted nucleosides. Nucleocidin. 4'-azido thymidine (ADRT), 4'-fluorinated carbocyclic nucleoside. and 3'-fluoro oxetanosin analogue have demonstrated a variety of biological activities. Since the cyclopentane ring of carbocyclic nucleosides can emulate the furanose moiety. a number of these compounds exhibit interesting biological activity, particularly in the areas of antiviral and anticancer chemotherapy.
