일련의 회분식 실험 및 실험실 규모의 연속식 실험을 통하여 유기오염물질에 의해 오염된 토양에 in-situ 토양세척기법을 적용하는데 필요한 운전조건을 도출하였다. 실제 토양에 소수성 유기오염물질인 n-dodecane, naphthalene, anthracene을 일정량 오염시킨 후 Tween 80, Triton X-100, Sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)가 포함된 용액을 이용하여 세척능력을 비교하였다. 회분식 및 연속식 실험 결과, Tween 80와 Triton X-100가 n-dodecane의 제거에 효과가 우수하였으며, naphthalene과 anthracene의 제거에는 SDS와 Tween 80가 우수하였다. 연속식 실험이 끝난 후, 토양에 잔류하는 세척제의 양은 Tween 80이 제일 적었다. 연속식 실험에서 통과유속을 변화시킨 결과, 7 ml/min에서는 세척에 필요한 접촉시간의 감소로 인하여 세척효과가 3 또는 5ml/min보다 오히려 감소되었다. 본 실험의 적용 범위 내에서는 토양의 초기 pH는 세척이 진행됨에 따라 세척능력에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 세척제의 미생물에 대한 독성실험 결과 Tween 80이 그람 음성균과 양성균의 성장에 가장 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 판명됐다.

기질 화합물로써 $3{\beta}$-hydroxy-12-oleanen-28-oic acid 유도체들의 치환기($R_1{\sim}R_4$)가 변화함에 따른 protein tyrosine phosphatase(PTP)-1B의 저해활성에 관한 비교 분자장 분석(CoMFA) 모델을 유도하고 정량적으로 검토하였다. 최적의 CoMFA F1 모델은 가장 높은 예측성과 상관성($r^2_{cv.}=0.654$ 및 $r^2_{ncv.}=0.995$)을 나타내었다. 저해활성에 관한 CoMFA장 기여비율(%)의 순서는 입체장(53.0%), 정전기장(36.2%) 및 소수성장(10.8%) 이었다. 등고도 분석 결과로부터 저해활성은 기질 분자 내 $R_4$-치환기에 의존적이었으며 특히 melanin 저해활성이 높은 새로운 화합물(P1 및 P2)이 예측되었다.

$10^{-6}{\sim}10^{-3}mol/{\ell}$ 농도범위에서 PO가 먼저 부가된 sodium poly(oxyethylene(EO), oxyisopropylene(PO)) dodecyl ether sulfates의 표면장력은 EO가 부가된 화합물보다 낮게 나왔다. 그리고 대체적으로 일반적인 음이온성계면활성제보다도 낮게 나왔다. PO가 먼저 부가된 화합물에 대하여 Gibbs' 흡착등온선으로 계산한 흡착능(${\Gamma}=2.2{\times}10^{-10}mol/cm^2$)은 EO가 부가된 화합물보다는 높지만 sodium dodecyl ether sulfate(${\Gamma}=3.2{\times}10^{-10}mol/cm^2$)보다는 낮다. 이러한 현상은 PO가 부가된 화합물의 분자량이 크기 때문으로 사료된다. 기포력, n-hexane과 benzene에 대한 유화력, 돼지기름과 소기름에 대한 세정력 그리고 산화철에 대한 분산성은 PO 화합물이 EO 화합물보다 우수하게 나타났다. 이러한 현상들은 친수성과 소수성 부분이 각각 따로 따로 존재할 때 계면활성이 높음을 의미한다. 수계에서 n-hexane과 benzene에 대한 유화력 측정결과는 n-hexane보다 benzene에 대하여 높게 나왔으며, 불규칙적인 분산특성을 나타내었다.

Human histamine H1 receptor (HHR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor and a primary target for antiallergic therapy. Here, the ligand-based three-dimensional pharmacophore models were built from a set of known HHR1 inverse agonists using HypoGen module of CATALYST software. All ten generated pharmacophore models consist of five essential features: hydrogen bond acceptor, ring aromatic, positive ionizable and two hydrophobic functions. Best model had a correlation coefficient of 0.854 for training set compounds and it was validated with an external test set with a high correlation value of 0.925. Using this model Maybridge database containing 60,000 compounds was screened for potential leads. A rigorous screening for drug-like compounds unveiled RH01692 and SPB00834, two novel molecules for HHR1 with good CATALYST fit and estimated activity values. The new lead molecules were docked into the active site of constructed HHR1 homology model based on recently crystallized squid rhodopsin as template. Both the hit compounds were found to have critical interactions with Glu177, Phe432 and other important amino acids. The interpretations of this study may effectively be deployed in designing of novel HHR1 inverse agonists.

Perfluorinated compounds(PFCs), an emerging environmental pollutant, are environmentally persistent and bioaccumulative organic compounds that possess a toxic impact on human health and ecosystems. PFCs are distributed widely in environment media including groundwater, surface water, soil and sediment. PFCs in contaminated solid can potentially leach into groundwater. Therefore, understanding PFCs partitioning between the aqueous phase and solid phase is important for the determination of their fate and transport in the environment. In this study, the sorption equilibrium batch and kinetic experiment of PFCs were carried out to estimated the sorption coefficient(K_d) and the fraction between aqueous-solid phase partition, respectively. Sorption branches of the PFDA(Perfluoro-n-decanoic acid), PFNA(Perfluoro-n-nonanoic acid), PFOA(Perfluoro-n-octanoic acid), PFOS(Perfluoro-1-octane sulfonic acid) and PFHxS(Perfluoro-1-hexane sulfonic acid) isotherms were nearly linear, and the estimated K_d was as follow: PFDA(1.50) > PFOS(1.49) > PFNA(0.81) > PFHxS(0.45) > PFOA(0.39). The sorption kinetics of PFDA, PFNA, PFOA, PFOS and PFHxS onto soil were described by a biexponential adsorption model, suggesting that a fast transport into the surface layer of soil, followed by two-step diffusion transport into the internal water and/or organic matter of soil. Shorter times(<20hr) were required to achieve equilibrium and fraction for adsorption on solid(F₁, F₂) increased with perfluorinated carbon chain length and sulfonate compounds in this study. Overall, our results suggested that not only the perfluorocarbon chain length, but also the terminal functional groups are important contributors to electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between PFCs and soils, and organic matter in soils significantly affects adsorption maximum capacity than kinetic rate.

In the current studies, we characterized the degradation of a hot mixture of benzene and toluene (BT) gases by a thermophilic biofilter using polyurethane as a packing material and high-temperature compost as a microbial source. We also examined the effect of supplementing the biofilter with yeast extract (YE). We found that YE substantially enhanced microbial activity in the thermophilic biofilter. The degrading activity of the biofilter supplied with YE was stable during long-term operation (approximately 100 d) without accumulating excess biomass. The maximum elimination capacity ($1,650\;g{\cdot} m^{-3}{\cdot} h^{-1}$) in the biofilter supplemented with YE was 3.5 times higher than that in the biofilter without YE ($470\;g{\cdot} m^{-3}{\cdot} h^{-1}$). At similar retention times, the capacity to eliminate BT for the YE-supplemented biofilter was higher than for previously reported mesophilic biofilters. Thus, thermophilic biofiltration can be used to degrade hydrophobic compounds such as a BT mixture. Finally, 168 rDNA polymerase chain reaction-DGGE (PCR-DGGE) fingerprinting revealed that the thermophilic bacteria in the biofilter included Rubrobacter sp. and Mycobacterium sp.

Clays coated with cationic surfactants (organoclays) have been investigated due to their effectiveness in sorbing organic compounds from water The objectives of this study were to (1) study the sorption characteristics or a cationic surfactant (HDTMA) to clay minerals; (2) examine the partitioning of HOC (naphthalene) to the adsorbed surfactants within the context of the first objective, and (3) develop overall HOC distribution coefficients that consider sorbed surfactant amounts. The sorption of hydrophobic organic contaminant was due to partitioning of the organics into the organic pseudophase created by the surfactant tail groups. Sorption of naphthalene by HDTMA-clays at different surfactant surface coverages revealed that the naphthalene K$\_$d/ values were affected by the surface concentration of surfactant. In our study the kaolinite was modified with a cationic surfactant to achieve different fractional organic carbon contents and different surfactant molecule configurations on the surface. All of the sorption isotherms were nearly linear and could be described by a distribution coefficient (K$\_$d/). The sorption of naphthalene by the surfactant-modified kaolinite was found to be dependent on the bound surfactant molecule configuration as well as on the fractional organic carbon content but halloysite was not affected by the increase of surfactant amounts. Results from this investigation provide additional insight into the role that sorbed surfactant structure plays in HOC partitioning.

Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Epimastigote forms of T. cruzi can be readily cultured in axenic conditions. Ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are commonly used solvents employed as vehicles for hydrophobic compounds. In order to produce a reference plot of solvent dependent growth inhibition for T. cruzi research, the growth of epimastigotes was analyzed in the presence of different concentrations of ethanol (0.1-4.0%) and DMSO (0.5-7.5%). The ability of the parasites to resume growth after removal of these solvents was also examined. As expected, both ethanol and DMSO produced a dose-dependent inhibition of cellular growth. Parasites could recover normal growth after 9 days in up to 2% ethanol or 5% DMSO. Since DMSO was better tolerated than ethanol, it is thus recommended to prefer DMSO over ethanol in the case of a similar solubility of a given compound.

Inclusion complexation of 1,7,21,27-tetraaza[7.1.7.1]paracyclophane (CPM 55) with 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene (2,7-DHN) or 1,3-dihydroxynaphthalene (1,3-DHN) in pD 1.17 $DCl-D_2O$ solution was investigated by $^1H$ nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) using 4,4'-dimethylaminodiphenylmethane (ACM 11) as an acyclic analog of CPM 55. In CPM 55-naphthalene derivative complex, alkyl protons located in the cavity of CPM 55 were shown to be subjected to anisotropic shielding and protons of naphthalene moiety shifted remarkably to upfield. However, in ACM 11-naphthalene derivative systems, chemical shifts for protons of both DHN compounds were not significant. The remarkable chemical shift changes suggested that the naphthalene moiety of 2,7-DHN or 1,3-DHN was included in the hydrophobic cavity of CPM 55 in aqueous solution. From the continuous variation plots of induced chemical shifts of 2,7-DHN, it was found that 2,7-DHN was included in the cavity of CPM 55 at 1:1 molar stoichiometry. Both computer simulation of a inclusion complex and strong upfield chemical shift changes of 2,7-DHN protons supported the conformation of pseudoaxial inclusion as the presumed geometry of the host-guest complex.

Microbial degradation of hydrocarbons is found to be an attractive process for remediation of contaminated habitats. However the poor bioavailability of hydrocarbons results in low biodegradation rates. Cyclodextrins are known to increase the bioavailability of variety of hydrophobic compounds. In the present work we purified the Cyclodextrin Glucanotransferase (CGTase) enzyme which is responsible for converting starch into cyclodextrins and studied its role on biodegradation of diesel oil contaminated soil. Purification of CGTase from Enterobacter cloacae was done which resulted in 6 fold increase in enzyme activity. The enzyme showed maximum activity at pH 7, temperature $60^{\circ}C$ with a molecular weight of 66 kDa. Addition of purified CGTase to the treatment setup with Pseudomonas mendocina showed enhanced biodegradation of diesel oil ($57{\pm}1.37%$) which was similar to the treatment setup when added with Pseudomonas mendocina and Enterobacter cloacae ($52.7{\pm}6.51%$). The residual diesel oil found in treatment setup added with Pseudomonas mendocina at end of the study was found to be $73{\pm}0.21%$. Immobilization of Pseudomonas mendocina on alginate containing starch also led to enhanced biodegradation of hydrocarbons in diesel oil at 336 hours.
