Studies on the effects of vanadate for Na-K-ATPase activity were carried out with rabbit renal cortex. 1) Na-K-ATPase activity was inhibited with the concentrations of vanadate in incubation medium. The vanadate concentration at which activity was inhibited by 50%$(ID_{50})$ was $10^{-6}M$ and Hill coefficient was 1.00. 2) The fractional inhibition by constant concentration of vanadate decreased with increasing enzyme concentration. 3) Increasing $K^+$ and $Na^+$ concentrations in incubation medium diminished the ability to inhibit Na-K-ATPase by vanadate whereas increasing $K^+$ and $Mg^{2+}$ concentrations potentiated the inhibition of Na-K-ATPase by vanadate. 4) Vanadate didn't inhibit Na-K-ATPase at pH 6.6. Increasing pH potentiated the inhibition of Na-K-ATPase activity. 5) Vanadate inhibited Na-K-ATPase activity reversibly in all range of concentrations in dilution experiment. These results show that vanadate inhibits Na-K-ATPase activity with interacting at $KE_2$ state reversibly.

A new sesquiterpene lactone dimer [1], together with five known compounds (2-6), was isolated from the flowers of Inula britannica. The structures of these compounds were established by extensive spectroscopic studies and chemical evidence. The inhibitory activities of these isolated compounds (1-6) against human neutrophil elastase (HNE) were also evaluated in vitro; compounds 1 and 6 exhibited significant inhibitory effects against HNE activity, with $IC_{50}$ values of 8.2 and $10.4{\mu}m$, respectively, comparable to that of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG; $IC_{50}=10.9{\mu}M$). In addition, compounds 3 and 5 exhibited moderate HNE inhibitory effects, with $IC_{50}$ values of 21.9 and $42.5{\mu}M$, respectively. In contrast, compounds 2 and 4 exhibited no such activity ($IC_{50}$ > $100{\mu}M$). The mechanism by which 1 and 3 inhibited HNE was noncompetitive inhibition, with inhibition constant ($K_i$) values of 8.0 and $22.8{\mu}M$, respectively.

A study on the absorption mechanism of cefixime(CF), an oral ${\alpha}-amino$ group deficient cephalosporin antibiotic, has been undertaken through the rat jejunum and nasal cavity using an in situ simultaneous perfusion technique developed in our laboratory. CF was well absorbed in the jejunum and nasal cavity of rats at pH 5.0, but not at pH 7.0. CF absorption was studied over four orders of magnitude in concentration to determine saturability. Disappearance of CF in the perfusate followed first-order kinetics at all tested concentrations. The apparent first-order absorption rate constant was found to be dependent on the concentration over the range of $0.1\;mM{\sim}3\;mM$ in the jejunum and nasal cavity of rats. Inhibitors were added to determine the competitive inhibition of CF absorption. The presence of L-tyrosine, L-phenylalanine, alanine-alanine, glycine-glycine and cefadroxil produced the significant inhibition of CF absorption in the nasal cavity and jejunum. However, there was no evidence of the inhibition in the presence of cefazolin. In addition, The CF absorption in the nasal cavity and jejunum was inhibited significantly by ouabain and 2,4-dinitrophenol(DNP). This study suggested that CF is absorbed across the rat nasal cavity and jejunum by carrier-mediated transport mechanism and energy consuming system.

The effect of various environmental conditions on the growth kinetics of Zymomonas mobilis were studied and the kinetic parameters were evaluated. The value of ${\mu}m$ was $0.45hr^{-1}$ and Ks was 0.23 g/L. Inhibition of growth at high glucose concentration was found to follow the threshold substrate inhibition. Threshold substrate concentration was 102 g/L and substrate inhibition constant was 196 g/L. The effects of yeast extract concentrations were found to follow the Monod equation. ${\mu}m$ value was $0.45hr^{-1}$ and Ks was 0.3 g/L at 20 g/L of glucose and $0.24hr^{-1}$ and 0.24 g/L respectively at 200 g/L of glucose. The optimum temperature was found to be $35^{\circ}C$ and the activation energy of growth was 7.7 Kcal/mole below $35^{\circ}C$ and -29 Kcal/mole above $35^{\circ}C$.

In this study, we demonstrated the inhibitory effect of the Class Ic antiarrhythmic agent propafenone on voltage-dependent $K^+$ (Kv) channels using freshly isolated coronary artery smooth muscle cells from rabbits. The Kv current amplitude was progressively inhibited by propafenone in a dose-dependent manner, with an apparent $IC_{50}$ value of $5.04{\pm}1.05{\mu}M$ and a Hill coefficient of $0.78{\pm}0.06$. The application of propafenone had no significant effect on the steady-state activation and inactivation curves, indicating that propafenone did not affect the voltage-sensitivity of Kv channels. The application of train pulses at frequencies of 1 or 2 Hz progressively increased the propafenone-induced inhibition of the Kv current. Furthermore, the inactivation recovery time constant was increased after the application of propafenone, suggesting that the inhibitory action of propafenone on Kv current is partially use-dependent. Pretreatment with Kv1.5, Kv2.1 or Kv7 inhibitor did not change the inhibitory effect of propafenone on the Kv current. Together, these results suggest that propafenone inhibits the vascular Kv channels in a dose- and use-dependent manner, regardless of $Na^+$ channel inhibition.

Micrococcus luteus purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) has been purified and characterized. The physical and kinetic properties have been described previously. Chemical modification of the enzyme was attempted to gain insight on the active site. The enzyme was inactivated in a time-dependent manner by the arginine- specific modifying reagent phenylglyoxal. There was a linear relationship between the observed rate of inactivation and the phenylglyoxal concentration. At 30 $^{\circ}C$ the bimolecular rate constant for the modification was 0.015 $min^{-1}mM^{-1}$ in 50 mM $NaHCO_3$ buffer, pH 7.5. The plot of logk versus log phenylglyoxal concentration was a strainght line with a slope value of 0.9, indicating that modification of one arginine residue was needed to inactivate the enzyme. Preincubation with saturated solutions of substrates protected the enzyme from inhibition of phenylglyoxal, indicating that reactions with phenylglyoxal were directed at arginyl residues essential for the catalytic functioning of the enzyme.

A microscopic mass balance approach has been developed to estimate the extent and rate of absorption for camier-mediated comounds. For the case competitive inhibition in the presence of an inhibitor which shares the same camier, the fraction dose absorbed (F) and absorption rate constant ($K_a$) of a drug can be calculated from its concentration profile in the intestinal lumen. Absorption parameters obtained by single-pass perfusion experiments were used in the simultaion of the absorption of some aminopenicilins. Predicted fractions dose absorbed and absorption rate constants of ampicilin and amoxicilin were significantly reduced in the presence of a 6-times higher molar dose of cyclacilin. The drug-drug interactions on the competitive absroption of camier-mediated compounds were determined with regard to F and $K_a$. Predicted decreases in F for some aminopenicilins corrlated well with decrease in the urinary recovery in humans reported in the literature. Predicted decrease in the mean absorption rate constant ($\barK_a$) explain the delays in the time of peak plasma concentration ($T_{max}$) reported in humans.

These paper was attempted to investigate the mechanism of increased blood level of sulfisomidine by cimetidine pretreatment pharmacokinetically. Especially, effect of cimetidine pretreatment on both renal clearance and biliary clearance of sulfisomidine was studied in rabbits. The results are as follows. The blood level of sulfisomidine administered intravenously in dose of 25mg/kg was elevated significantly by cimetidine pretreatment. Relative bioavailability and biological half-life were increased significantly by cimetidine pretreatment. Overall elimination rate constant ($betha$) and distribution rate constant ($K_{13}$) of sulfisomidine were decreased significantly by cimetidine pretreatment. The renal and biliary clearance of sulfisomidine were decreased significantly compared with those of control rabbits by cimetidine pretreatment. The results may be also related to the inhibition of sulfisomidine metabolism enzyme activity or reduction of blood flow in the liver.

Using a reference slurry, ammonium dodecyl sulfate (ADS), an anionic and environmentally friendly surfactant, was investigated as an alternative to BTA for its inhibition and lubrication characteristics. Results demonstrated that the inhibition efficiency of ADS was superior to that of BTA. Coefficient of friction (COF) was the lowest when the slurry contained ADS. This suggested that adsorbed ADS on the surface provided lubricating action thereby reducing the wear between the contacting surfaces. Temperature results were consistent with the COF and removal rate data. ADS showed the lowest temperature rise again confirming the softening effect of the adsorbed surfactant layer and less energy dissipation due to friction. Spectral analysis of shear force showed that increasing the pad-wafer sliding velocity at constant wafer pressure shifted the high frequency spectral peaks to lower frequencies while increasing the variance of the frictional force. Addition of ADS reduced the fluctuating component of the shear force and the extent of the pre-existing stick-slip phenomena caused by the kinematics of the process and collision event between pad asperities with the wafer. By contrast, in the case of BTA, there were no such observed benefits but instead undesirable effects were seen at some polishing conditions. This work underscored the importance of real-time force spectroscopy in elucidating the adsorption, lubrication and inhibition of additives in slurries in CMP.

In the previous paper (Bull. Korean Chem. Soc., 2011, 32, 2997), the hybrid molecules between ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid (ALA) and polyphenols (PPs) connected with neutral 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol linker (linker-1) showed new biological activity such as butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibition. In order to increase the binding affinity of the hybrid compounds to cholinesterase (ChE), the neutral 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol (linker 1) was switched to the cationic 2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethanol linker (linker 2). The $IC_{50}$ values of the linker-2 hybrid molecules for BuChE inhibition were lower than those of linker-1 hybrid molecules (except 9-2) and they also had the same great selectivity for BuChE over AChE (> 800 fold) as linker-1 hybrid molecules. ALA-acetyl caffeic acid (10-2, ALA-AcCA) was shown as an effective inhibitor of BuChE ($IC_{50}=0.44{\pm}0.24{\mu}M$). A kinetic study using 7-2 showed that it is the same mixed type inhibition as 7-1. Its inhibition constant (Ki) to BuChE is $4.3{\pm}0.09{\mu}M$.
