Phenol 성 물질이 함유된 산업폐수의 처리와 phenol을 탄소원으로 하는 균체를 이용할 목적으로 공업폐수의 오이로부터 phenol 자화능이 우수한 효모 균주를 선택하여 이 균의 생육에 미치는 환경요인을 조사하였다. 초발 pH 3.5~4.5에서 $35^{\circ}C$ 경우 자화능이 가장 좋았으며 $HgC1_2$ phenylhydrazin $10^{-3}$M 농도에서 완전히 자화능을 잃었다. 배양기 중의 질소원으로 $KNO_3,$ $(NH_2)_2CO가$ 가장 좋았으며 yeast extract 0.01% 첨가하므로써 가장높은 발육효과를 보았다. Phenol을 연속적으로 90시간까지 5회 feeding하며 계속적인 균체증식과 phenol 소모를 보았으며 한편 본균이 catechol, resorcinol도 자화할 수 있다는 점도 알았다.

Free-, soluble- and insoluble phenolic acids were extracted from defatted Galla Rhois. The extracts were then dissolved in equal amounts of an soybean oil, and POV (peroxide value) of the resulting substrates, portion of the soybean oil (control) and 0.02% BHT were measured by AOM (active oxygen method) test at 97.8$^{\circ}C$ for 40 hours through Rancimat method. Induction period of control, BHT, free phenolic acids, soluble phenolic acids and insoluble phenolic acids by the Rancimat method were 4.8, 10.5, 23.9 and 30.5hr. The phenolic acids separated and tentati-vely identified by gas chromatography were catechol, gallic acid, vanillin, protocatechuic acid, syri-ngic acid, ferulic acid.

Using a novel pine needle agar, fifteen bacterial species were isolated from pine litter. These bacteria were able to degrade aromatic hydrocarbons derived from lignin and utilize the ortho-cleavage of the $\beta$-ketoadipate pathway to degrade protocatechuate or catechol. A different utilization array of aromatic hydrocarbons by these bacteria was also determined. This study provides the information on bacterial species living in pine litter and suggests that these bacteria have metabolic abilities to utilize aromatic hydrocarbons derived from lignin biodegradation.

Pyrogallol is recently known to be a inhibitor of catechol-o-methyl transferase (COMT) and increase the action of epinephrine on the isolated rabbit atria. In this experiment, the author attempated to investigate the influence of pyrogallol on the effect of ephedrine and epinephrine on the blood pressure of the rabbit and isolated atria and excised intestine of the rabbit. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. Pyrogallol tends to increase the blood pressure and respiration of the rabbit. But it has no significant effect on the excised rabbit atria and intestine. 2. The effect of ephedrine on the blood pressure and respiration, isolated atria and excised intestine of the rabbit were not influenced by the pretreatment with pyrogallol. 3. The effect of epinephrine on the blood pressure and isolated atria of the rabbit is potentiated with pyrogallol pretreatment.

Free malonaldehyde was determined in nine kinds of ginseng polyacetylene-treated micro- some by HPLC analysis. Antioxidant activities of some phenolic compounds and ginseng saponin were also drtermined both by a new HVLC method and by THA method. A new HPLC system separaterl malonaldehyde at a retention time 5,6 min and showed a linear relationship between the peak are a and malonaldehyde concentration. Panaxnol showed the strongest activity among nine polyacetylenes and the addition of either chlorine or aletyl group reduced polyacetylene's own activity. Since C14-polyacetylenes such as panaxyne and panaxyne-epoxide had little or no antioxidant activities, S17-structure should be preserved to exert a radical-scvenging or trapping activity. The antioxidant activities of chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid and catechol were much weaker than those of C17-polyacetylenes. Ginseng saponin showed no antioxidant activity. Since TBA reactive substances and malonaldehyde contents were almost the same in peroxiedized microsome. TBA value seems a good indicator for lipid peroxidation in this particular Fe+3 ADP/NADPH system.

A remediation technology consisting of biodegradation and a modified Fenton reaction was developed to degrade mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at a former manufactured gas plant (MGP) site. The original Fenton reaction (i.e., $H_2O$$_2$ + Fe$^{2+}$) was modified to be biocompatible by using ferric ions and chelating agents such as catechol and gallic acid. The modified reaction was effective in degrading PAHs at near neutral pH and thus was compatible with biodegradation. By the combined treatment of the modified Fenton reaction and biodegradation, more than 98% of 2- or 3-ring hydrocarbons and between 70 and 85% of 4- or 5-ring compounds were degraded in the MGP soil, while maintaining its pH about 6.6.

Stable MCF-7-ERE cells, in which pERE-Luc reporter gene has been stably integrated into the genome of the MCF-7 cells, were used to detect the estrogenic activity of various dietary flavonoids in either pure chemical or mixtures. Estradiol (E2) induced luciferase activity in dose dependent manner and this activity was inhibited by tamoxifen (Tam) concomitant treatment. A large series of flavonoids showed estrogenic activities, corresponding to EC5O values between 0.2 and 9 microM and their mixtures didn't show additive or synergistic effects. And we could find some structure and activity relationship. First, 4-methoxylation and catechol structure decreased estrogenic activities. Second, hydroxylation of 3 position reduced estrogenic effect. Third glycosides of flavonoids showed weak estrogenic activity or no activity. Interestingly, when tested at high concentrations, genistein, kaempferol, biochanin A and chrysin elicited luciferase induction higher than that of the maximum induction by estradiol. And these effects of genistein and kaempferol could not be fully inhibited with tamoxifen

Three prolyl endopeptidase inhibitors were isolated and identified as luteolin, quercetin and ${\beta}$-sitosterol-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside with $IC_{50}$ of 0.17, 0.19 and 27.5 ppm, respectively. The inhibition of two flavonoids were non-competitive with substrate. Twenty authentic flavonoids were tested in order to investigate structure-activity relationship. No significant relationship was found in them, however, catechol moiety of B-ring and 7-OH group in flavonoid skeleton were seemed to be responsible for the stronger activity.

Methyl-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (salsolinol), an endogenous neurotoxin, is known to perform a role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study, we evaluated oxidative modification of cytochrome c occurring after incubation with salsolinol. When cytochrome c was incubated with salsolinol, protein aggregation increased in a dose-dependent manner. The formation of carbonyl compounds and the release of iron were obtained in salsolinol-treated cytochrome c. Salsolinol also led to the release of iron from cytochrome c. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers and iron specific chelator inhibited the salsolinol-mediated cytochrome c modification and carbonyl compound formation. It is suggested that oxidative damage of cytochrome c by salsolinol might induce the increase of iron content in cells, subsequently leading to the deleterious condition which was observed. This mechanism may, in part, provide an explanation for the deterioration of organs under neurodegenerative disorders such as PD.
