The recent outbreak of renal failure in infants in China and in animals in USA and Europe has been determined to be caused by melamine adulterated in the food. In the course of the investigation, cyanuric acid was identified in addition to melamine in the offending food. Fish feeds were also recently found to be contaminated with melamine. The purpose of this study was to characterize the histopathological effect and toxicity potential of different concentrations of melamine and cyanuric acid in the kidney of Japanese catfish (Silurus asotus). The fish were administered melamine and cyanuric acid in combination at the concentrations of 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg/day for 3 days by single oral administration dissolved in carboxymethyl cellulose. The results showed that renal crystals were observed in renal tubules and collecting ducts at the concentration over 25 mg/kg dose group and the number of crystals in kidney were in proportion to the concentrations of melamine and cyanuric acid.

In this study, we investigated the existence of melamine and cyanuric acid in cigarette smoke because leaf tobacco contains lots of nitrogen compounds and they are capable of pyrolytic synthesis while smoking. The extraction and derivatization conditions of two compounds were performed according to the procedure of U.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA). Ky3R4F as reference cigarette was smoked on ISO condition(Puff volumne : 35 ml, duration : 60 sec, Interval : 2 sec). Compared with the results Ky3R4F and standard solution, retention time of two compounds was not corresponded. As a result, we concluded that melamine and cyanuric acid were not existed in cigarette smoke.

토양 중 음이온 바이오사이드인 chlorite, chlorate, cyanuric acid와 sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (Na-DBS)의 liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) 동시 분석방법을 개발하였다. Chlorite와 chlorate는 물로 추출하였으며, cyanuric acid와 Na-DBS는 0.25 mM ammonium formate를 함유한 20 mM formic acid와 acetonitrile (1:1) 이동상을 이용하여 추출하였다. 추출물은 필터 후 직접 LC-MS/MS로 주입하였다. 분석물질이 검출되지 않는 토양에 각 성분들을 첨가한 후 정도관리를 실시한 결과 검출한계는 chlorite 0.04 mg/kg, chlorate 0.04 mg/kg, cyanuric acid 0.27 mg/kg 그리고 Na-DBS의 경우는 0.05 mg/kg 이었다. 이 방법을 사용하여 우리나라 AI로 소독제를 많이 사용한 장소 40개 지역과 사용하지 않은 지역 10개 대조 지역의 토양을 분석한 결과 대조지역을 포함한 모든 조사지역에서 네 가지 음이온 모두 검출되지 않았다.

Melamine is an organic base and a trimer of cyanamide which contains 66% nitrogen by mass, but it was sometimes illegally added to food products in order to enhance the apparent protein content for the bigger profit. Many Chinese infants and pet animals fed melamine-containing formulas suffered acute kidney failure with renal crystal formation. Fish feeds were also recently found to be contaminated with melamine. This experiment has been designed to determine whether renal crystals can be experimentally induced in crucian carp (Carassius carassius) fed melamine and cyanuric acid (each at 400 mg/kg/day for 3 days) in combination, and to compare experimentally induced crystals with those from pet animals with triazine related renal failure. The results showed that all fish developed gold brown renal crystals arranged in radial spherulites in the renal tubules, similar to those detected in the pet animals.

Melamincyanurate(MC), as an non halogen flame retardant are used as the polymer and plastic materials. In this study, melamine and cyanuric acid were used for the synthesis of MC. The optimum condition of synthetic MC were controlled by different molar ratio of melamine to cyanuric acid. MC was modified by coupling reaction with four different agents. The influences of modified MC were based on the coupling agent types. Preparation methods are available to offer the prospect of improved morphology control deposit stability in polyol. The results reveal that glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane(GDS) has the best storage stability. The best properties were obtained with melamine and cyanuric acid from 1:1 molar ratio. Modification of MC through coupling agent can efficiently enhanced the deposit stability in polyol up to 30 %.

From Oct. 2008 to Oct. 2009, 619 livestock products sold in Incheon were examined for melamine contamination. HPLC was used to detect the melamine concentration from various products. $C_{18}$ column $(3.9\times150mm,\;4{\mu}m)$ was applied with a phase composed of 10mM citric acid and 10mM sodium octane sulfonate : acetonitrile (in ratio 90:10) pumped isocratically at 1.0ml/min. Melamine was not detected from any of the products at the level of LOD 0.03mg/kg and LOQ 0.08mg/kg, suggesting that no melamine contamination was ascertained in livestock products in Incheon area. However, further tests should be done to detect other melamine analogues for the evaluation of toxicity and safety of melamine and cyanuric acid in the future.

Melamine-induced nephrotoxicity is closely associated with crystal formation in the kidney caused by combined exposure to melamine (Mel) and cyanuric acid (CA). However, there are few dosage-finding studies for toxicological evaluation of chronic co-exposure to Mel and CA. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible mechanism by which a Mel and CA mixture lead to renal toxicity in rats. Mel and CA were co-administered to rats via oral gavage for 50 days. Nephrotoxicity was determined by measuring blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (sCr) levels. Relative kidney weights were significantly increased in rats after co-exposure to Mel+CA (63/6.3 or 630/6.3 mg/kg) mixtures. BUN and sCr levels were significantly increased after Mel and CA co-exposure. Taken together, significant increase in KIM-1, NGAL, and calbindin levels were observed in the urine of rats exposed to Mel+CA (63/6.3 or 630/6.3 mg/kg) compared with the corresponding control group. Histological analysis revealed epithelial degeneration and necrotic cell death in the proximal tubules of the kidney after co-exposure to Mel+CA (63/6.3 or 630/6.3 mg/kg). Our data suggest that Mel-mediated renal toxicity may be influenced by CA concentrations in Mel-contaminated milk or foods.

분지아미노산 생합성 과정에 관여하는 첫 번째 효소인 acetolactate synthase (ALS)를 대상으로 수행할 수 있도록 고효율 검색방법(High Throughput Screening, HTS)을 개발하였고, 이를 이용하여 식물특이적 효소 저해제로 알려진 107개의 기존 화합물 중에서 새로운 ALS 저해 화합물을 선발하였다. 기존의 방법과 비교할 경우 한사람이 1회 수행한다고 하면 8 배 효율이지만 연속적으로 수행한다고 할 경우 1/10 이하의 양, 동일한 재료의 적용, 측정 결과의 계산, enzyme kinetics 등을 감안하면 최소 100 배 이상의 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 새로운 ALS 저해제로 탐색된 화학물질은, ammooxyacetic acid, azelaic acid, citric acid, cyanuric fluoride, glyoxylic acid, itaconic acid, malonic acid, niclosamid, oxalic acid, 2-oxoglutaric acid, suramin 등이었다. 앞으로 이들을 기본 구조로 하여 신규 ALS 저해 제초제의 개발을 위한 유도체의 합성에 이용되었으면 한다.

포접 기능을 가져 악취의 분리제거에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 보이는 $\beta$-시클로덱스트린 및 $\beta$-시클로덱스트린에 벤조산을 포접시킨 물질($\beta$-시클로덱스트린/벤조산 포접체)에 시아누르산 염화물을 반응시켜 클로로트리아진 유도체를 제조하고, 이를 면섬유와 반응시켜 새로운 소취 기능성 섬유를 제조하였다. 포접체의 형성은 적외선 분광분석 및 가시-자외선 분광분석기를 사용하여 확인하였으며, 반응기의 도입은 EDX로 확인하였다. 소취성능은 제조한 소취기능성 섬유를 컬럼에 채우고, 암모니아 기체를 흘려 보냈을 때 빠져나온 암모니아를 물에 용해시킨 용액의 농도를 0.1N 염산으로 적정하여 평가하였다. 섬유에 부착된 $\beta$-시클로덱스트린 단위가 증가할수록 소취성이 증가하였으며, $\beta$-시클로덱스트린에 벤조산을 포접한 경우에 소취성이 보다 증가하였다. 이는 포접체에 존재하는 벤조산과 암모니아의 결합때문이라고 생각되었다.
