Among the tested ten enzymes, Optimase M-440 showed the highest activity in transesterification of N-t-Boc-L-Phe-OTFE with D-glucose. Monosaccharides and their derivatives acted as good acyl acceptors in the Optimase M -440 catalyzed transesterification of N-t-Boc-L-Phe-OTFE. Optimase M-440 showed a preferable catalytic activity on the primary hydroxyl group of saccharides and a good regioselectivity. Optimase M-440 showed the highest activity in pyricline among the tested solvents. As acyl donors, trifluoroethyl esters of amino acids showed a high reactivity in transesterification. Optimase M-440 showed a broad substrate specificity towards amin 。 acid esters and saccharides.

고정화 thermolysin에 의한 아스파탐 전구체의 하나인 N-Benzoylaspertame(BzAPM)의 합성을 효율적으로 할 수 있는 수용성 유기용매가 함유된 용매계를 산정하고자 하였다. BzAPM 및 L-phenylalanine(Phe)의 용해도는 methanol 45%가 함유된 용매계에서 각각 1.84 및 1.79%로 가장 높았으며, dimethyl sulfoxlilde(DMSO) 25%와 polyethylene glycol(PEG) 200 20%가 함유된 혼합 용매계도 비교적 높은 용해도를 보였다. BzAPM의 용해도는 ethylene glycol류의 분자량이 커질수록 용해도가 증가하였으나, Phe의 경우에는 이러한 경향을 나타내지 않았다. 고정화 thermolysin에 의한 BzAPM의 합성역가는 methanol 45% 및 DMSO 45%의 난일 유기용매계와 DMSO 25% 및 PEG 200 20%가 함유된 혼합 용매계에서 높게 나타났으며, 초기 합성속도도 빠른 것으로 나타났다. $40^{\circ}C$에서 42일간 고정화 효소를 보관하였을 때, thermolysin은 DMSO 25%와 PEG 200 20%가 함유된 용매계에서 가장 안정하였다. L-phenyalanine methyl ester의 비효소적 가수분해 속도는 methanol함유 용매계에서 가장 낮았고, DMSO 25%와 PEG 200이 함유된 용매계에서는 이들의 중간 정도인 것으로 확인되었다. 그리하여 고정화 thermolysin에 의한 BzAPM의 합성에 적합한 용매계로서 DMSO 25% 및 PEG 200 20%가 함유된 용매계를 선정하였다.

The actinomycete strain AMLK-335 was antagonistic to vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Based on the diaminopimelic acid (DAP) type, and morphological and physiological characteristics revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), AMLK-335 was confirmed to belong to the genus Streptomyces. Analysis of the 16S rDNA nucleotide sequences found AMLK-335 to have a relationship with Streptomyces platensis. The production of antibiotic from this strain was most favorable when cultured on glucose, polypeptone, yeast extract (PY) medium for 6 days at $27^{\circ}$. The antibiotic was identified as cyclo(L-phenylalanyl-L-prolyl) by comparing ti with the reported MS and NMR spectral data. Cyclo(phe-pro) from the PY cultures of AMLK-335 was most effective (K-98-258). Futhermore, cyclo(phe-pro) had antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Microcuccs luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but it wa ineffective against Candida albicans, Streptomyces murinus, and Aspergillus niger.

Poly(ethylene glycol)-phosphatidylethanolamine conjugate (PEG-PE) has been used in preparing longcirculating liposomes. As a substitute for PEG-PE which can also be used in the long-circulating liposome formualtions, but can be prepared more readily with a lower cost, PEG-Phe-Chol was synthesized from PEG, phenylalanine, and cholesterol. The addition of the PEG derivative to distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) led to the formation of mixed micelles as well as liposomes when the derivative content was 10 mol% or greater. On the other hand, the addition of just 5 mol% PEG-Phe-Chol to dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) generated mixed micelles as well as liposomes, but the formation of mixed micelles was completely inhibited by the addition of cholesterol. The leakage of entrapped calcein out of DOPE/cholesterol (7/3) liposomes containing 5 mol% PEG-Phe-Chol was about 45% during the incubation time for 24 h in 50% rabbit plasma, which was similar to that of the same liposomes containing 5 mol% PEG-dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE) under the identical conditions.

Propofol is a widely used anesthetic. Many studies have shown that propofol has direct effects on blood vessels, but the precise mechanism is not fully understood. Secondary intrapulmonary artery rings from male rats were prepared and mounted in a Multi Myograph System. The following constrictors were used to induce contractions in isolated artery rings: high $K^+$ solution (60 mmol/L); U46619 solution (100 nmol/L); 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; $3{\mu}mol/L$); or phenylephrine (Phe; $1{\mu}mol/L$). The relaxation effects of propofol were tested on high $K^+$ or U46619 precontracted rings. Propofol also was added to induce relaxation of rings preconstricted by U46619 after pretreatment with the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor $N^G$-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). The effects of propofol on $Ca^{2+}$ influx via the L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channels were evaluated by examining contraction-dependent responses to $CaCl_2$ in the absence or presence of propofol (10 to $300{\mu}mol/L$). High $K^+$ solution and U46619 induced remarkable contractions of the rings, whereas contractions induced by 5-HT and Phe were weak. Propofol induced dose-dependent relaxation of artery rings precontracted by the high $K^+$ solution. Propofol also induced relaxation of rings precontracted by U46619 in an endothelium-independent way. Propofol at different concentrations significantly inhibited the $Ca^{2+}$-induced contractions of pulmonary rings exposed to high $K^+$-containing and $Ca^{2+}$-free solution in a dose-dependent manner. Propofol relaxed vessels precontracted by the high $K^+$ solution and U46619 in an endothelium-independent way. The mechanism for this effect may involve inhibition of calcium influx through voltage-operated calcium channels (VOCCs) and receptor-operated calcium channels (ROCCs).

The effect of sesame of L-lysine HCI and sesame supplementing a wheat flour diet on growth, liver lilpid content, and on the free amino acid levels in the plasma and liver was studied in young male rats with an initial body weight of $75{\pm}3g$. The free amino acids were analyzed by amino acid auto analyzer (JLC - 6HA, NO. 310). The results were as follows. The body weitht gain on L-lysine HCI and sesame supplemented diet was more than weight in the sesame added diet or wheat flour diet groups. Also the liver lipid contents of rats on a wheat flour diet supplemented with L-lysine HCI and sesame showed greater increases than the levels in rats on the wheat flour diets. The rate of liver lipid accumulation was depressed in rats fed L-lysine HCI supplemented wheat flour containing sesame than in rats fed soybean oil or shortening oil instead of sesame. The free phe. Tyr. Leu. Ileu. Val. Lys. levels in the plasma of rats administered the wheat flour diets supplemented with 0.25% L-lysine HCI were higher than those of rats without L-lysine HCI. The free phe. Tyr. Asp. His. Lys. contained in the liver were increased, but other free amino acids were decreased according to the L-lysine HCI amount.

Tetrahydrobiopterin ($BH_4$) can normalize blood phenylalanine (Phe) levels in $BH_4$ deficiency, but typically not in phenylketonuria (PKU). In 1999, Kure et al. reported that some PKU patients showed decreased blood Phe levels after $BH_4$ loading, and thereafter, those PKU patients were identified by neonatal PKU screening. A natural cofactor for phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) is a 6R-isomer of $BH_4$, which is first synthesized in Japan as Sapropterin dihydrochloride (Biopten$^{(R)}$) in 1982. In Japan, Biopten$^{(R)}$ is first approved for the treatment of $BH_4$ deficiency in 1992, and then for $BH_4$-responsive PAH deficiency (BPKU) in 2008. The discovery of BPKU has vast clinical implications. After Biopten$^{(R)}$ (Kuvan$^{(R)}$) is available for the treatment of BPKU, the QOL of both patients and their families were improved very much, since the serum phenylalanine levels were controlled within 4 mg/dL by $BH_4$ mono-therapy with a normal diet or $BH_4$ combined use of mild phenylalanine-restricted diet. Biopten$^{(R)}$ therapy in patients with BPKU is highly efficacious (70%) at maintaining serum Phe levels within recommended control range and provides excellent safety at least average use period of 10 years (range, 1-17 years) with no unwarranted side effects in Japan. In addition it has been confirmed that sapropterin therapy initiated before 4 years of age was very effective to maintain plasma Phe levels within the favorable range and was safe in Japanese patients with BPKU.
