6-Alkyl-3-chromonealdehyde (2,2-dialkyl)hydrazone derivatives were synthesized by dehydration condensation. They are green-emitting materials for organic light emitting device (OLED) composed of electron acceptor of 6-alkyl-3-chromonealdehydes and electron donor of 2,2-dialkylhydrazones in a conjugated structure. The structural properties of reaction products were analyzed by FT-IR and $^1H$-NMR spectroscopy. The thermal stabilities and reactivities were measured by melting points and yields. The UV-visibles and PL properties were also determined by excitation spectra and emission spectra, respectively.

Stem bark of Cinchona sp. (Rubiaceae) is one of the well known drugs for its therapeutic values in traditional as well as modern medicine. Even though a lot of work has been carried out on quinoline alkaloids of Cinchona, its phenolic constituents received very little attention. In the present study, we evaluated antioxidant properties of C. officinalis stem bark methanolic extract and water extract containing phenolic compounds (total phenolics 21.37, 5.18% w/w respectively in the two extracts) in different in vitro and ex vivo models viz., antiradical activity by DPPH reduction, superoxide radical scavenging activity in riboflavin/light/NBT system, nitric oxide radical scavenging activity in sodium nitroprusside/Greiss reagent system and inhibition of lipid peroxidation induced by iron-ADP-ascorbate in liver homogenate and haemolysis of erythrocytes induced by phenylhydrazine in erythrocyte membrane stabilization study. Both the extracts exhibited very good antioxidant activity in all the models tested. The phenolic compounds including tannins present in the stem bark seem to offer protection from the oxidative damage.

To develop and evaluate formaldehyde measurement method using 2,4-dinitro-phenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH) coated sampler and gas chromatography, laboratory test and field test were conducted. Results of this study are as follows. Limit of detection(LOD) of measurement methods, HPLC-UVD, GC-NPD and GC-FID, is $0.008{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ $0.060{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $0.472{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ respectively. Coefficiency of measurement methods, HPLC-UVD, GC-NPD and GC-FID, is 0.008, 0.009, 0.020 respectively. Desorption efficiency of sep-pak xposure aldehyde sampler and sorbent sample tube is 1.05(range : 0.99 - 1.12), 1.02(range : 0.99 - 1.06) respectively. Samples of sorbent sample tube and sep-pak xposure aldehyde sampler turned out to be stored at refrigerator, according to storage test results. Measurement methods of HPLC-UVD, GC-NPD, GC-FID, according to results of precision for the combined sampling and analytical procedure, became acceptable to OSHA evaluation standard. Field test using exposure chamber met the NIOSH overall uncertainty recommendation(less than 25%). Overall uncertainty of Sepak-HPLC(UVD), Tube-GC(NPD), Tube-GC(FID) is 11.0% - 17.0%. Consequently gas chromatography(GC-NPD, GC-FID) and high performance liquid chromatography(EPA TO-11) using 2,4-DNPH coated sampler for formaldehyde measurement turned out to be suitable to measure personal formaldehyde exposure at workplaces.

Phenol utilizing yeast No. 558 isolated from soil sewage sediment was able to use substantial amount of phenol as the sole carbon source, and the biomass productivity by this organism was very excellent. This organism could grow well in 1000 ppm of phenol concentration, the maxim-um specific growth rate obtainable at pH 5.0, 3$0^{\circ}C$ was 0.27/hr., and the biomass yield coefficient Y vs. consumed phenol was 3.2. Maximum production rate of biomass was observed at 35$^{\circ}C$, pH 3.5 to pH 4.5, and the addition of the 0.005~0. 01% yeast extract was the most effective. Addition of HgCl$_2$ and phenyl hydrazine, inhibitors of oxide-reductase, in the phenol containing cultural liquid caused this organism no-growth at the concentration of 10$^{-5}$ M, 10$^{-3}$ M respectively. This organism could utilize not only phenol but catechol, resorcinol and benzidine.

Tyrosine phenol-lyase of thermophilic Symbiobacterium sp. SC-1, which is obligately and symbiotically dependent on thermophilic Bacillus sp. SK-1, was purified and characterized. The enzyme is composed of four identical subunits and contains approximately 1 mol of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) per mol subunit as a cofactor. The enzyme showed absorption maxima at 330 and 420 nm, and lost this absorption profile by treatment with phenylhydrazine. The apparent dissociation constsnt, $K'_D$, for PLP was determined with the apoenzyme to be about $1.2\;{\mu}M$. The isoelectric point was 4.9. The optimal temperature and pH for the $\alpha,\beta$-elimination of L-tyrosine were found to be $80^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0, respectively. The substrate specificity of the enzyme was very broad: L-amino acids including L-tyrosine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine (L-DOPA), L-cysteine, L-serine, S-methyl-L-cysteine, $\beta$-chloro-L-alanine, and S-(o-nitrophenyl)-L-cysteine all served as substrates. D-Tyrosine and D-serine were also decomposed into pyruvic acid and ammonia at rates of 7% and 31% relative to their corresponding L-enantiomers, respectively. D-Alanine, which was inert as a substrate in a, $\beta$-elimination, was the only D-amino acid racemized by the enzyme. The $K_m$ values for L-tyrosine, L-DOPA, S-(o-nitrophenyl)-L-cysteine, $\beta$-chloro-L-alanine, and S-methyl-L-cysteine were 0.19, 9.9, 0.36, 12, and 5.5 mM, respectively.

In order to demonstrate whether ovoperoxidase hardens the zona of oocytes activated by incubating in M-S buffer supplemented with 20$\mu$M of Ca-ionophore A 23187, the effect of peroxidase inhibitors(250mM pheylhydrazine, 28mM sodilum sulfite, 350mM glycine ethyl ester and 50mM sodium azide), tyrosine analogue(12.5mM tyramine) and exogeneous peroxidase(50$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml horseradishperoxidase ; HRP) on zona hardening in ionorphore-treated oocytes were investigated. The results obtained from thses experiments were summarized as follows : 1. The zona solubility (t50) of ionophore-activated and DMSO-treated oocytes at 1, 2 and 3 hr of culture were 25.0, 31.6 and 40.6min., and 9.7, 10.8 and 15.5 min., respectively. The longest time required for zona lysis of ionophore activated oocytes at 1 hr after onset of ionophore treatment. The diferences int50 for zona was significantly greater as compared to DMSO-treated controls(P<0.01). 2. The inhibition rates of hardening in the oocytes treated with the phenylhydrazine, sodium sulfite, glycine ethyl ester and sodium azide, were 23.8, 61.9, 95.2 and 23.8%l, respectively, and the tyramine, was 14.3%. Several known peroxidase inhibitors and tyrosine analogue were blocked zona hardening in ionophore activated oocytes. 3. The treatment of exogeneous peroxidase promoted the zona hardening of activated oocytes but not unactivated oocytes. These resuls indicate that the ovoperoxidase apparently catalyzes the hardening of the zona following ionophore activation of mouse oocytes.

This study was conducted to search new target enzymes of novel herbicide candidate. Total of 107 biochemical inhibitors reported to inhibit over than 100 different plant enzymes were purchased from commercial chemical companies. 15 inhibitors and 34 enzymes were selected by germination assay, seedling assay, wheat leaf disc assay, and whole plant assay. Among them, seven compounds of purine, phehyl-hydrazine, o-phenanthroline, oleylamine, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 7,8-benzoquinoline, and aminooxyacetic acid showed high herbicidal activity in the whole plant assay under greenhouse while 7,8-benzoquinone, 8-hydroxyquinoline, 2,2'-dipyridyl, and o-phenanthroline inhibited seed germination of barnyardgrass, rice, and tomato at concentrations of 1.25 to $5{\mu}M$. The compounds of 7,8-benzoquinoline, chlorpromazine, cyanuric fluoride, 4-methylpyrazole, oleylamine, tranylcypromine, and trifluoperazine inhibited the growth of cyanobacteria at 30 to $100{\mu}M$. The compounds of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and chlorpromazine exhibited whitening effect on tile wheat leaf disc at $100{\mu}M$. These results suggest that the plant-specific enzyme inhibitors which have biological activities may supply the target enzyme for developing new herbicide candidate.
