Second-order rate constants (kN) have been measured spectrophotometrically for reactions of 3,4-dinitrophenyl 2-thiophenecarboxylate (2) with a series of alicyclic secondary amines in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % dimethyl sulfoxide at 25.0 ${^{\circ}C}$. The Brønsted-type plot exhibits a downward curvature for the aminolysis of 2. The curved Brønsted-type plot is similar to that reported for the corresponding reactions of 2,4-dinitrophenyl 2- thiophenecarboxylate (1). The reactions of 1 and 2 have been suggested to proceed through the same mechanism, i.e., through a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate ($T^{\pm}$) with a change in the rate-determining step. Substrate 2 is less reactive than 1 toward weakly basic amines (e.g., $pK_a$ < 10.4) but becomes more reactive as the basicity of amines increases further. Dissection of kN into the microscopic rate constants has revealed that the reaction of 2 results in a smaller $k_2/k_{-1}$ ratio but larger $k_1$ than the corresponding reaction of 1. Steric hindrance exerted by the ortho-nitro group has been suggested to be responsible for the smaller $k_1$ value found for the reactions of 1.

An electrochemical reduction on the 3-phenyl-4-nitrosydnone in acetonitrile solution has been studied by direct current, differential pulse polarography, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry. Before the cleavage of phenyl-N single bond a irreversible electron transfer-chemical reaction(EC) mechanism of nitro functional group proceeded to form amino (or-hydroxylamino) group by multielectron transfer which is followed to give phenyl hydrazine by single electron transfer-chemical reaction at the 2nd and 3rd irreversible reduction wave of high negative potential region. The cathodic half-wave potentials shown to be shift negative due to inhibitory effect of cetyl-trimethyl ammonium bromide micelle while reversible anodic peaks on the 2nd and 3rd reduction waves in the presence of NaLS at high negative potential region.

Molecular orientation and polarity of solubilization site of dipolar azobenzenes solubilized in micellar solutions are discussed. The polarity of solubilization was estimated by using Taft $\pi$$^*$ scale with linear solvation energy relationship, $\Delta$E=$\Delta$E$_0$ + S($\pi$$^*$ + d$\delta$)+a$\alpha$ + b$\beta$. Hydrogen bonding effects were taken into account for the estimation of micropolarity. The polarity that azobenzenes experienced in the miceliar solutions was close to water which represented that the azobenzenes were mostly solubilized at the interface. For the orientations of azobenzenes were concerned, the nitro group of NPNOH faced the interface and the hydroxy group of NPNO$^-$ located at the interfacial area.

Dyeing properties of a series of 4-amino-4'-fluorosulfonylazobenzene disperse dyes on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were investigated. Build-up properties and color properties on PET were examined. In particular, the 4-aminoazobenzene dyes containing a nitro group instead of a fluorosulfonyl group at 4'-position were also synthesized in order to compare their dyeing properties on PET with that of 4'-fluorosulfonyl analogues.

Rhizobium meliloti 102 F 51, the symbiotic partner of alfalfa, was mutagenized with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) and UV-irradiation. Three group of mutants which form white, white-pink and red nodules were selected. The adetylene reduction activity, nodulation activity, amount of heme synthesis during the nodulation, and ${\delta}-aminolevulinic$ acid synthetase (ALAS) and ${\delta}-aminolevulinic$ acid dehydratase (ALAD) activities in free living rhizobia and bacteroid states of the each group of mutants were compared. The mutants forming white nodules showed lower acetylene reduction activity compared to those of red nodule forming mutants. The two key enzymes for the heme synthetic pathway, ALAS and ALAD activities of the mutants forming red nodules was much higher than those of the mutants forming white nodules in bacteroid state, however no significant difference was observed in free living state. In the nodules the ALAS was detected only in bacteroid fraction, while ALAD was detected both in bacteroid and plant fraction. ALAS was dramatically increased with the heme synthesis during the nodulation, while ALAD was decreased in plant fraction but slight increase was observed in bacteroid fraction.

The three-dimensional metal complex inclusion compound $Cd(pn)Ni(CN)_4{\cdot}0.5NO_2C_6H_5$(pn: 1,2-diaminopropane=propylenediamine) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group, $Pn2_1$a, (a=13.868(5), b=26.591(4), c=7.840(1)${\AA}$, V=2891(1)${\AA}^3$, Z=4), R=0.054 for 2800 independent reflections. The host structure of the inclusion compound appears the same one(T-type) of inclusion compound with branched aliphatic-guest molecule. The nitrobenzeneguest molecule attains the stable position in the nodal channel of T-type by placing the polar nitro group between the pn-amino groups at the node and the bulky aromatic ring in the antinodal zone of the channel. The substituted aromatic guest molecule is accommodated in the host structure of metal complex $Cd(pn)Ni(CN)_4$ with channel cavity.

The 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative of silica gel has been prepared through the 5 step reaction. We carried out infrared as well as nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometric characterization of products taken from each step of reaction. IR study of bare silica gel showed free and hydrogen bonded hydroxyl. From the 1st step reaction, we observed IR bands for N-H and C-H as well as NMR peaks for three methylene carbons in APTS group. From the 2nd step, we observed IR bands for carbonyl, nitro and aromatic carbon group with NMR peaks for aliphatic, aromatic and carbonyl carbons. The reduction of $NO_2$ group to $NH_2$ group is confirmed by IR and NMR from 3rd step reaction. In the last step, the immobilization of 8-quinolinol is confirmed by disappearance of $N{\equiv}N$ IR peak observed in 4th step.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)을 비가역적으로 불활성화시킴으로써 오랫동안 작용할 수 있는 고혈압치료제로서의 ACE억제제를 개발하기 위하여pseudomechanism-based inhibition이라는 새로운 억제기전을 가질 것으로 추정되는 아래 그림과 같은 기본 분자구조를 갖는 epoxide 유도체들을 합성하여 in vitro에서 ACE활성 억제효과를, HPLC법을 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과 합성되어진 epoxide 유도체들은, epoxide group대신에 sulfhydryl 또는 carboxyl group으로 치환되어져 있는 기존의 ACE 억제제들보다도 효능이 현저히 저하됨으로써, ACE의 $Zn^{2+}$ binding site와는 배위결합력이 미약하다는 것을 의미하여 준다. 또한 유도체들의 phenylring에 chloride, hydroxyl, nitro group과 같은 polar group 의 도입으로 말미암아 ACE 억제효과가 저하됨으로써 이 부위에서의 hydrophobic interaction이 ACE를 억제하는데 중요하다는 것을 시사해 주며 이외에도 이미 알려진 바와같이 carbonyl carbon과 인접한 carbon atom에 methyl group의 도입이 억제효과에 중요한 역활을 하였다. 따라서 향후에는 ACE의 $Zn^{2+}$ binding site와 강력한 배위결합을 하는 carboxyl group을 도입하고 epoxide의 위치를 변경시키며 또한 hydrophobic interaction하는 부위의 구조를 변화시켜 보다 효능이 우수한 새로운 기전의 ACE억제제를 개발해 나가고자 한다.

To understand responses of bivalve tissues to various injurious agents, histopathological observation was done in the Manila clam, Ruditapes hilippinarum, during 240 hours after an intramuscular injection of N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). Some histopathological changes were observed with the epithelia of stomach, midgut, hindgut, digestive diverticula and gonads after injecting MNNG. The earliest degenerative changes were recognized in the epithelium of midgut 12 hours after the injection. Partial or complete, epithelial destruction was constantly accompanied by the massive infiltration of a mononuclear, necrotic cell group including hemocytes. At 144 hours later, gonads showed the necrotic desquamation of their germinal epithelia. Nearly all of the infiltrated cells within the destructive epithelium were suggested to be hemocytes, from the binding property with a hemocyte-specific lectin, Ricinus communis (RCA-1). From these results it was concluded that the epithelium of digestive system is vulnerable to parenteral MNNG and hemocytes might be deeply involved in this MNNG-induced destruction of the digestive epithelium.

The naphthalic amide derivatives were synthesized by simple condensation and were crystallized by acetonitrile solution. The SEM images of products with methyl group and nitro group, respectively, showed rod shape while the SEM images of products with other groups ($N(CH_3)_2$, $OCH_3$, H, F, and Cl), respectively, showed plate shape. We were known from these results that the substituent of ending group played an important role in the crystallization of single molecule and the morphology of naphthalic derivatives could be controlled by only change of ending group in single molecule.
