  • The pharmacokinetic properties of KR-V compounds, recently developed as new anti-HIV agents, were studied after i.v. and p.o. administration in rats. The concentrations of the KR-V series were determined in rat plasma using an high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-UV detection system. Of the 19 KR-V compounds investigated in the present study, only KR-V 3, 10, 14, 16 and 18-1 showed oral bioavailability. The plasma concentration-time data could be adequately described by an one-compartment open model. In the i.v. kinetic study (10mg/kg), the CLt of KR-V 3, 10, 14 and 16 (>4L/hr/kg) were significantly higher than that of KR-V 18-1 (1.1 L/hr/kg). The AUC of KR-V 18-1 was greater ($8.97{\mu}g{\cdot}hr/ml$) than that of the other compounds, but the Vd (0.58 L/kg) was lower. In the p.o. kinetic study (50mg/kg), although the t-1/2 of KR-V 18-1 was shorter than that of the other compounds, the AUC ($3.659{\mu}g{\cdot}hr/ml)$ and $C_{max}(1.891{\mu}g/ml$) were markedly higher. In a seperated in vitro experiment, only KR-V 18-1, of the 5 compounds with bioavailibility, exhibits potent activity against HIV-1 mutant strains. Therefore, KR-V 18-1 is expected to become a new potent anti-AIDS drug candidate/lead compound.

  • We have developed a rapid, simple and precise high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method using an UV detection system for the determination of new anti-HIV candidates, nineteen KR-V compounds, in rat plasma. We used a analytical columnn of $C_{18}$ ($5{\mu}m$, $250{\times}2.0mm$ I.D.) and a mobile phase of water and ACN mixture (40/60, v/v). Under these conditions, all the KR-V compounds were readily separated from plasma with retention times of 4-12 min. The limits of quantitation for the 19 KR-V compounds were 15-30 ng/ml. The recoveries from the plasma were higher than 85% (C.V.<10%) with exception of KR-V 2, 7 and 15. The compounds KR-V 2, 7 and 15, containing ester moieties, were found to be unstable in plasma. This result suggests that esters, like KR -V 2, 7 and 15, should be excluded from future structure design studies of anti-HIV KR-V agents. In conclusion, the current HPLC method is a valuable analytical tool for investigating the pharmacokinetics of the KR-V series in rats.

  • Newcastle disease virus (NDV) Kr005/V strain was generated through 55 serial passages of NDV Kr005 strain in Vero cells. The Kr005/V virus yielded high infective titers of $10^{7.8}$ $TCID_{50}/mL$ in Vero cells and the infected cells showed cytopathic effects such as marked cell rounding, though less frequent syncytia. The Kr005/V virus was heat-stable and classified into the lentogenic type with a Mean Death Time (MDT) of 120h or greater while the Kr005 strain was heat-labile and velogenic (MDT of 49.6 h). Only the single amino acid substitution (T to S) was observed at position 433 of the HN protein of the Kr005/V strain, whereas no amino acid change was found in the F protein. The Kr005/V input virus correlated well (correlation coefficient $r^2$=0.97) with the Kr005 virus when ten field sera were tested by virus neutralization test. The biological properties and usefulness of Vero cell-adapted Kr005/V virus were discussed.

  • The pharmacological effects of benzopyran potassium channel openers (lemakalim, KR-30450 and KR-30818) on the occlusion/reperfusion-induced myocardial infarction were investigat ed. In anesthetized rats, subjected to 45-min occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) followed by 90-min reperfusion, the infarct size was measured by calculating the ratio of infarct zone to area at risk (IZ/AAR) with the Evans blue/TTC technique. Rats were intravenously given vehicle (1% DMSO), lemakalim, KR-30450, and KR-30818 alone or in combination with a selective K$_{ATP}$ blacker glibenclamide, 30 min prior to coronary occlusion. Compared to vehicle, lemakalim (30 ${\mu}$g/kg i.v.), the active enantiomer of cromakalim, had a tendancy to decrease infarct size. KR-30450(30 ${\mu}$g/kg, i.v.). the newly synthetized potassium channel openers (PCOs), caused a reduction of infarct size (from 70${\pm}$4%to 57${\pm}$5%). but KR-30818 (30 ${\mu}$g/kg, i.v.), a metabolite of KR-30450. did not modify infarct size. It seem ed likely that glibenclamide (0.3mg/kg, i.v.), given in combination, reduced the effects of these PCOs, especially KR-30450 (30 ${\mu}$g/kg, i.v.) on the infarct size. These results indicate that. in the coronary occluded rat model of ischemia, lemakalim and KR-30450 may exert cardioprotective activity through a reduction of infarct size, the effect being considered related to the opening of K$_{ATP}$ channel.

  • The electrophysiological effects of benzopyran potassium channel openers (PCOs: lemakalim, KR-30450 and KR-30818) on the ischemia/reperfusion-induced arrythmias were investigated. In anesthetized rats, subjected to 45 min occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) followed by 90 min reperfusion, ventricular arrythmias were identified according to the Lambeth Conventions by lead II ECG. Rats were intravenously given vehicle ($1\%$ DMSO), lemakalim, KR-30450, and KR-30818 alone or in combination with a selective $K_{ATP}$ blocker glibenclamide, 30 min prior to coronary occlusion. Compared to vehicle, lemakalim ($30{\mu}g/kg$ i.v.), the active enantiomer of cromakalim, had a tendancy to increase the duration of ventricular tachycardia (Vl) and ventricular fibrillation (VF), the number of premature ventricular complexes (PVC) and the incidence of VF, especially in the early post-occlusion peroid ($0\~15$ min), while increasing ST-segment elevation. Both KR-30450 ($30{\mu}g/kg$, i.v.) and KR-30818 (30, $100{\mu}g/kg$, i.v.) showed similar proarrhythmic effects to lemakalim (PVC, duration of VT, and incidence of VF) with a tendancy to decrease the duration of VF and ST-segment elevation. Unlike other PCOs, however, glibenclamide (0.3, 1.0 mg/kg) had opposite effects on the induction of arrhythmias (PVC, the duration of VF); it had a tendancy to increase the duration of VT with a slight elevation of ST-segment. It seems likely that glibenclamide (0.3 mg/kg, i.v.), reduced the effects of lemakalim or KR-30450 ($30{\mu}g/kg$, i.v.) on arrhythmias (PVC, VT, VF and ST-segment). These results indicate that, in the coronary occluded rat model of ischemia, lemikuiln and KR-30450 exert a proarrhythmic activity, the effect being considered related to the opening of KATP channel.

  • As preparing electrode for the OLED with the sputtering process, in order to be lower damage of the bottom organic layer and increase the life-time of the OLED, we prepared Al electrode for that by using Facing Targets Sputtering (FTS) system. Al electrode directly deposited on the cell (LiF/EML/HTL/Bottom electrode). Deposition condition was the working gas (Ar, Kr and Ar+Kr) and working gas pressure (1 and 6 mTorr). The film thickness and I-V curve of Al/cell were evaluated by a $\acute{a}$-step profiler and a semiconductor parameter (HP4156A) measurement. The thin film surface image was observed by a Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). In result, in comparison with about 11 [V] of the turn-on voltage of Al/cell with using the pure Ar gas, when Al thin film was deposited using the Ar-Kr mixture gas, the surface morphology was improved in some region and the turn-on voltage of Al/cell could be decreased to about 7 [V].

  • An LC/MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of a neuroprotective agent for ischemia-reperfusion damage, KR-31378 and its N-acetyl metabolite KR-31612 in human plasma was developed. KR-31378, KR-31612 and the internal standard. KR-31543 were extracted from human plasma by liquid-liquid extraction. A reverse-phase HPLC separation was performed on Luna phenylhexyl column with the mixture of acetonitrile-5 mM ammonium formate (55:45, v/v) as mobile phase. The detection of analytes was performed using an electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. The lower limits of quantification for KR-31378 and KR-31612 were 2.0 ng/ml. The method showed a satisfactory sensitivity, precision, accuracy, recovery and selectivity.

  • A number of uracil derivatives have been developed as anti-AIDS drugs having a mechanism of inhibiting cellular reverse transcriptase. A simple and rapid assay technique for recently synthesized KR-V analogues was developed using a high-performance liquid chromatography, and oral pharmacokinetics was examined for assessing their oral bioavailabilites. Plasma samples were analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC using an ODS column with an ultraviolet detection system. All the analogues were eluted within 12 min and the LOQ was 15-30 ng/$m\ell$. The extraction recoveries were higher than 85%, except KR-V1039, 1068 and 1720 having ester group. This chromatic method was well applied to the kinetic studies for KR-V analogues. Among 16 analogues tested in the present work, the 6 compounds including KR-V1123, 1122, 1784, 1783, 1736 and 1700 were found to be bioavailable for oral administration to rats.

  • KR-1008 and KR-30006 are 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives, new vasodilatory calcium antagonists from KRICT. Calcium antagonistic properties of the compounds were studied in the isolated heart (Langendorff preparation), pulmonary artery (vasodilation), and in the papillary muscle (negative inotropic effect) of the guinea pig. Antihypertensive effect were also investigated after i.v. or oral administration in the SHR (spontaneously hypertensive rat). They produced a sigificant inhibition of Ca-induced contraction in the guinea pig pulmonary artery at the concentrations of above $10^{-8}M$. The negative inotropic effect of the electrically stimulated papillary muscle appeared from the concentration of $10^{-6}M$, which is about hundred times higer than the concentration of vasodilation effect. Left ventricular pressure also decreased from the concentration of $3\;{\times}\;10^{-6}M$ in KR-1008 and KR-3006 in the Langendorff heart preparations. Coronary flow rate increased from $10^{-6}M$ in KR-1008 and nicardipine and appeared no change in KR-30006. The antihypertensive effect of KR-1008 (EC 20: $2.9\;{\mu}g/kg$) was potent more than nicardipine (EC 20: $3.4\;{\mu}g/kg$) and than Kr-30006 (EC 20: $6.8\;{\mu}g/kg$) was, after i.v. bolus injection in the anesthetized SHR. The antihypertensive effect in the conscious SHR appeared 30 minutes after oral administration of 10 mg/kg and persisted 4 hrs in KR-1008 and 12 hrs in KR-30006. Heart rate tended to increase for 0.5-1 hr after oral administration of the test compounds.

  • A Korean isolate of Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV-Kr) was isolated from a diseased pepper crop in Chunchon, Korea. The isolate was biologically purified on Nicoticaa tabacum cv. Xanthi-nc by successive single local transfer steps, and propagated on N. tabacum cv. Samsun. PMMoV-Kr could systemically infect on N. glauca, N. benthmiana, N. occidentalis and Lycopersicon esculentum, which is typical of known isolates of PMMoV. PMMoV-Kr belongs to the pathotype P1,2 based on pepper-tobamoviral indicator experiments; Capsicn chinone harboring L3 gene revealed resistant (necrotic local lesion on inoculated leaf, HR) whereas L+, L1 and L2 pepper plants expressed susceptible reactions of mosaic systemic symptoms for the isolate. To confirm the pathology and delineate symptom determinant of the isolate, full-length cDNAs of PMMoV-Kr were amplified by RT-PCR with a primer set corresponding to the 5'- and 3'-ends of PMMoV. The RT-PCR molecules amplified from genome RNA of the isolate was cloned into the pUC18 vector. Full-length cDNA clones constructed under the control of the T7 RNA promoter could be successfully transcribed to produce in vitro transcript RNA. Infectivity of the capped transcripts and its progeny virus was verified by Western blot and RT-PCR analyses.
