Succinic semialdehyde reductase was inactivated by o-phthalaldehyde. The inactivation followed pseudo-first order kinetics, and the second-order rate constant for the inactivation process was 28 $M^{-1}s^{-1}$ at pH 7.4 and $25^{\circ}C$. The absorption spectrum ($\lambda_{max}$ 337 nm) and fluorescence excitation ($\lambda_{max}$ 340 nm) and fluorescence emission spectra ($\lambda_{max}$ 409 nm) were consistent with the formation of an isoindole derivative in the catalytic site between a cysteine and a lysine residue approximately about 3 $\AA$ apart. The substrate, succinic semialdehyde, did not protect enzymatic activity against inactivation, whereas the coenzyme NADPH protected against o-phthaladehyde induced inactivation of the enzyme. About 1 isoindole group per mol of the enzyme was formed following complete loss of enzymatic activity. These results suggest that the amino acid residues of the enzyme participating in a reaction with o-phthalaldehyde are cysteinyl and lysyl residues at or near the NADPH binding site.

We report the studies on the red organic phosphor by using perylene bisimide derivatives. Even though perylene bisimide derivatives have excellent thermal stability and luminous efficiency, they have low solubility in organic solvents. In this research, modified perylene bisimide derivative, N,N'-Bis(4-bromo-2, 6-diisopropylphenyl)-1, 6, 7, 12-tetraphenoxyperylene-3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxyl bisimide (1C), has been prepared by the reaction of phenol with N,N'-Bis(4-bromo-2, 6-diisopropylphenyl)-1, 6, 7, 12-tetrachloroperylene-3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxyl bisimide (1B) in presence of DMF, at $70^{\circ}C$. The synthesized (1C) was characterized by using $^1H-NMR$, FT-IR, UV/V is spectroscopy, and TGA. The absorbtion and emission of (1C) was shown at 576 nm and 610 nm in UV/V is spectrum. In TGA thermogram, (1C) showed good thermal stability without significant weight loss to $220^{\circ}C$. And in the solubility analysis, (1C) with phenoxy group showed the good solubility in general organic solvents. The blended films of (1C) with PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) at different weight % concentration such as 10, 5, 1 weight % have been prepared. The blended film was shown at 616 nm when monitored at 450 nm in PL emission spectra.

Novel nickel(II) complexes of the type Ni(IBA-NH)(IBA-NR), where IBA-NH and IBA-NR (R=H, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl or benzyl) represent isonitrosobenzoylacetone imine and its N-alkyl derivative respectively, have been prepared. The ir, nmr, and electronic spectra and magnetic moment of the nickel(II) complexes have been studied. It has been determined that the isonitroso group of IBA-NH coordinates to nickel through the oxygen to form 6-membered chelate ring and that of IBA-NR coordinates to nickel through the nitrogen to form 5-membered ring in square-planar Ni(IBA-NH) (IBA-NR). The coordination manner of the ligands is similar to that of isonitrosoacetylacetone imines obtained by Bose, et al.

The diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) pigment is a bicyclic 8-π-electron system containing two lactam units. Typical DPP derivative pigments have melting points of over 350°C and very low solubility in most solvents, and show absorption in the visible region with a molar extinction coefficient of 33,000 dm²mol⁻¹ and strong photoluminescence with maxima in the range 500–600 nm. X-ray structure analyses of DPP show that the whole molecule is almost in one plane. The phenyl rings are twisted out of the heterocyclic plane and the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between neighboring lactam NH and carbonyl units influences the structure of the DPP pigment in the solid state. In this study, mono-N-alkylation and mono-N-arylation were undertaken for Pigment Red 264 or Pigment Orange 73 with alkyl halide and aryl halide, respectively, in the presence of sodium tert-butoxide as a base catalyst to improve the solubility of DPP pigments and their application as CO₂ indicators. The synthetic yield was in the range 11–88%. The indicator dyes are highly soluble in organic solvents and shows pH-dependent absorption (λ_max 501 and 572 nm for the protonated and deprotonated forms, respectively) and emission (λ_max 524 and 605 nm for the protonated and deprotonated forms, respectively) spectra. The mono-N-alkylated and mono-N-arylated DPP pigment was identified by ¹H-NMR (¹H-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer), FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), and MS (Mass Spectrometry). According to the results of color and hue properties obtained by a color matching analyzer, the synthesized DPP pigment material can be used as a CO₂ indicator.

High-resolution quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometry (HRMS), with high-resolution (> 10,000 at full-width at half-maximum) and accurate mass (< 5 ppm deviation) capabilities, plays an important role in the structural elucidation of drug metabolites in the pharmaceutical industry. ML106, a derivative of imidazobenzimidazole, decreased melanin content and tyrosinase activity in a dose-dependent manner. Here, we investigated the phase 1 metabolic pathway of ML106 using HRMS in human liver microsomes (HLMs) and recombinant cDNA-expressed cytochrome P450 (CYP). After the incubation of ML106 with pooled HLMs and recombinant cDNA-expressed CYP in the presence of NADPH, five phase 1 metabolites, including three mono-hydroxylated metabolites (M1-3) and two di-hydroxylated metabolites (M4 and M5), were investigated. The metabolite structures were postulated by the elucidation of protonated mass spectra using HRMS. The CYP isoforms related to the hydroxylation of ML106 were studied after incubation with recombinant cDNA-expressed CYP. Here, we identified the phase 1 metabolic pathway of ML106 induced by CYP in HLMs.

Palladium plays a pivotal role in the production of dental and medicinal devices, medicinal substances, jewellery, automobile and high-performance adhesives. Despite the frequent and fruitful use of such reactions, one major setback is the high level of palladium in the resultant compounds which can harm the human body. Among the palladium species, $PdCl_2$ is the most toxic. As a consequence it is desirable to detect the $Pd^{2+}$ cations by fluorescence spectra because it can provide an operationally simple and cost-effective detection method together with high sensitivity and selectivity. Herein, an ${\alpha}$-carbonyl substituted pyrene derivative, ${\gamma}$-oxo-1-pyrenebutyric acid (OPBA), was demonstrated to be a highly sensitive and selective fluorescent probe for $Pd^{2+}$ among the metal cations examined in aqueous solutions.

Pyrrolidone-anilide derivatives from L-glutamic acid and anilines were synthesized as follows: The products were identified by elementary analysis, IR, NMR and Mass spectra with (R)-2-pyrrolidone-5-carbox-anilide, (R)-2-pyrrolidone-5-cabox-p-chloroanilide, (R)-2-pyrrolidone-5-carbox-o-toluidide, (R)-2-pyrrolidone-5-carbox-m-toluidide and (R)-2-pyrrolidone-5-carbox-p-toluidide. The products were testes for their phytotoxicity on the germination and the seedling growth of radish and rice plants. Among them, (R)-2-pyrrolidone-5-carbox-anilide and (R)-2-pyrrolidone-5-carbox-p-chloroanilide derivatives were strongly inhibitory especially on the germination and the seedling growth of radish seeds. All the compounds also showed an inhibitory activity upon the germination of rice seeds. Additionally, the inhibiting rate of radish growth differs according to the isomeric position(ortho, meta and para) of the methyl group; (R)-2-pyrrolidone-5-carbox-m-toluidide derivative was more effective than both (R)-2-pyrrolidone-5-carbox-o-toluidide and (R)-2-pyrrolidone-5-carbox-p-toluidide derivatives.

Palladium(II) complexes of the type Pd(IEAA-NR)$_2$ (R = H, CH$_3$, C$_2$H$_5$, n-C$_3$H$_7$, n-C$_4$H$_9$, or CH$_2$C$_6$H$_5$), where IEAA-NR represents N-alkyl derivative of isonitrosoethylacetoacetate (H-IEAA) imine, have been prepared. And the structure of the complexes have been studied by elemental analyses, electronic, infrared, $^1$H and $^{13}$C-NMR spectra. It is proposed that both of IEAA-NR ligands coordinate to metal through nitrogens of imine and isonitroso groups to form 5-membered chelate rings in the complexes.

This paper analyzes the relationship between two representative statistical methods for bandwidth extension (BWE): Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) ones, and compares their performances. The HMM method is a memory-based system which was developed to take advantage of the inter-frame dependency of speech signals. Therefore, it could be expected to estimate better the transitional information of the original spectra from frame to frame. To verify it, a dynamic measure that is an approximation of the 1st-order derivative of spectral function over time was introduced in addition to a static measure. The comparison result shows that the two methods are similar in the static measure, while, in the dynamic measure, the HMM method outperforms explicitly the GMM one. Moreover, this difference increases in proportion to the number of states of HMM model. This indicates that the HMM method would be more appropriate at least for the 'blind BWE' problem. On the other hand, nevertheless, the GMM method could be treated as a preferable alternative of the HMM one in some applications where the static performance and algorithm complexity are critical.
