The soluble cytochrome c-551 of photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodopseudomonas gelatinosa ATCC 17013 was purified through a sequene of four step chromatography including CM-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography, DEAE-Sephacel chromatography, Sephacryl s-200 gel permeation chromatography, and HPLC (SP-5PW). The molecular weight of the purified cytochrome c-551 was 14, 600 Da, and this protein shows the absorption peak at 551 nm, 522 nm, and 417 nm as the reduced form, and at 412 nm as the oxidized form. The cytochrome c-551 seems to be a substrate for the terminal oxidase in the electron transport chain.

Tacrolimus (FK506), which is isolated from Streptomyces tsukubaensis, is a new potent immu-nosuppressant. Because of poor solubility in water, the conventional intravenous dosage forms of tacrolimus contain surfactants such as cremophor EL (BASF Wyandotte Co.) or hydroge-nated polyoxy 60 castor oil (HCO-60) which may cause adverse effects. This study relates to a polymer-tacrolimus conjugate, which can be dissolved in water, formed by chemically binding the sparingly soluble drug, tacrolimus, with the water soluble polymer, methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG). Water soluble tacrolimus-mPEG conjugates have been synthesized and shown to be function in vitro as prodrugs. These conjugates are in the form of an ester wherein the 24-, 32- or 24,32-positions are esterified. The desired 24-, 32- or 24,32-esterified com-pounds were obtained by initially acylating of tacrolimus with iodoacetic acid at the 24-,32-, or 24,32-positions and then reacting the resulting acylated tacrolimus with a mPEG in the pres-ence of a base such as sodium bicarbonate. These conjugates were converted again into tac-rolimus by the action of enzymes in human liver homogenate, and the half-lives of the conjugates are approximately 10 min in the homogenate, indicating that the esterified tacroli-mus derivatives may be practically applicable as a prod rug for the immunosuppressant.

It is well established that dissolution is freruently the rate limiting step in the gastrointestinal absorpton of a drug from a solid dosage from. The relationship between the dissolution rate and absorption is particularly distinct when considering drugs of low solubility. Consequently, numerous attempts have been made to modify the dissolution characteristics of poorly water soluble drugs. Since dissolution rate is directly proportional to surface area, one may increase the rate by decreasing the particle size of the drug. Levy has considered a number of methods by which a drug may be presented to the GI fludids in finely divided from. The direct method is the utilization of microcrystalline or micronized particles. A second method involves the administration of solutions from which, upon dilution with gastric fluids, the dissolved drug will precipitate in the form of very fine particles. A more unique way of obtaining microcrystalline dispersions of a drug has been ercently suggested by Sekiguchi et al. They have first proposed the formation of a eutectic mixture of a poorly water soruble drug with a physiologically inert, easily soluble carrier. When such systems are exposed to water or GI fluids, the soluble carrier will dissolve rapidly and the finely dispersed drug particles will then be released. It has been suggested by Shefter and Higuchi that the formation of crystalline solvate could be a powerful tool in affecting rapid disslution of highly insoluble substances. Goldberg et al. have noted that the formation of solid solution could reduce the particle size to a minimum and increase the dissolution rate as well as the solubility of the durgs. It has also been shown that the rates of solution of drugs were appreciably increased by coprectipitating the drug with soluble polymers. The increase was found to be sensitive to the method of preparation, the molecular weight of polymer and the particular ratio of drugs to polymer. Although several investigations have demontrated that the solubility and/or dissolution rates of drugs can be increased in this manner, little information is available in the literature related to the in vivo absorption pattern of drugs orally administered as PVP coprecipitates. Recently, however, it was demonstrated that both the rate and extent of absorption of the insoluble drug could be markedly enhanced when orally administered to rats in the form of a coprecipitate with PVP. The purpose of the present investigation was to ascertain the general appility of soluble polymer coprectation technique as a method for enhancing the in vitro dissolution rate of hydrophobic indomethacin. To accomplish this aim, the dissolution characteristics of pure indomethacin, indomethcin-polymer physical mixtures and indomethacin-polymer coprecipitates were quantitatively studied by comparing their relative dissolution rates. The solubility and dissolution behavior of these systems were also examined.

비타민 정제 중의 지용성 비타민의 저장 습도 및 저장 온도에 따른 저장 안정성을 연구한 결과 개봉을 하지 않은 상태에서는 저장 온도에 상관없이 상당히 안정한 것으로 나타났다. 흥미로운 사실은 일부 지용성 비타민들이 개봉을 한 상태에서는 습도에 매우 민감하다는 사실이었는데, 지용성 비타민 중 분말형태로 제조하기 위하여 acetate form으로 존재하는 비타민 A acetate와 비타민 E acetate는 수분에 아주 민감하다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 이들 지용성 비타민은 개봉을 한 상태에서는 습도에 매우 민감하여 그 손실 속도가 매우 빨라지는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 비타민 정제의 경우 수분이 가소제로 작용하여 비타민 정제 중의 성분들의 mobility를 증진시킴으로써 비타민의 손실 속도가 빨라지는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 이러한 결과로 볼 때 tablet형태의 복합 비타민제에 존재하는 지용성 비타민의 경우 저장 온도보다는 저장 습도에 유의를 하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Polyimides are one of the most important classes of highperformance polymers. Due to their excellent electriccal, thermal, and high-temperature mechanical properties. The polyimide and its derivatives have found many applications. But their uses are limited by their poor solubilities. In fact, most polyimides were processed in the form of their precursors, polyamic acid, which were subsequently converted to the imide structure.

Fluorination of alkenyllithium reagents can be accomplished in acceptable yield under conditions which give rise to low competitive alkene formation. These reactions are abetted by the use of the low temperature soluble, mild fluorinating agent N-fluoro-N-tert-butylbenzenesulfonamide; "simpler" fluorinating reagents such as F2, XeF2 or FClO3 failed to give acceptable amounts of the fluoroolefin with these alkenyllithiums.

본 연구에서는 참나무(oak wood)류중 신갈나무(Querrus mongolica)로부터 수용성 식이섬유소의 제조와 제조된 수용성 식이섬유소의 생리적 기능성을 검정하고자 하였다. 신갈나무로부터 수용성 식이섬유소의 분리는 전처리 기술로써 폭쇄처리를 하였으며 최적 폭쇄전처리 조건은 25kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$의 압력으로 6분간 처리하였다. 폭쇄시료를 탈리그닌 처리하기 위해 가장 효과적인 방법중 1% NaOH 용액으로 수회여과 처리 하였다. 앞에서 탈리그닌된 시료를 효소가수분해 처리하기 위 해 사용된 효소로는 Onnozok R-10보다 Cellusoft 효소의 가수분해율이 효과적이었다. 제조된 수용성 식이섬유소의 분자량 분포는 약 1,200-348 사이에 존재하는 oligomer 형태의 소당류로 분포되어 있었다. 제조된 수용성 식이섬유소의 생리적 기능성을 검정하기 위해 실험동물은 Sprague-Dawley종 수컷을 이용하여 정상군과 고콜레스테롤식이 실험군으로 나눈 후 고콜레스테롤 실험군을 다시 섬유소 종류와 공급수준에 따라 섬유소를 공급하지 않은 무섬유식이군 (FF군), 시판 식이섬유소를 5%공급한군 (5P군) 10%공급한군 (l0P군) 제조 식이섬유소를 5% 공급한 군 (5M군) 10% 공급한 군(10M군) 등 각 10마리씩 6군으로 나누어 4주간 사육하였다. 식이섭취량은 섬유소공급군이 FF군에 비해 증가되었으며 체중증가량은 섬유소공급군에서 FF군에 비해 유의적 (p<0.05)으로 낮았다. 식이효율은 FF군에 비해 모든 식이섬유소군에서 유의적 (p<0.05)으로 낮았으며 특히 10% 공급군에서 가장 낮았다. 간 무게근 FF군에 비하여 식이섬유소 공급군에서 유의적 (p<0.05)으로 감소되었으며 소장 및 맹장무게는 정상군과 무섬유식이군에 비하여 식이섬유소 공급군에서 증가되었다. 혁청 GOT 활성은 식이섬유소 공급군이 FF군에 비해 유의적 (p<0.05)으로 저하되었다. GPT 활성은 정상군에 비해 무섬유식이군인 FF군에서 증가되었으며 섬유소 공급관들은 다소 감소되는 경향이었다. 간조직 중 GST 활성은 FF군에 비해 식이섬 유소 공급군 모두 활성이 증가되었다. 그리고 이러한 생리적 기능은 제조된 수용성 섬유소군이 시판 수용성 섬유소와 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 제조된 수용성 식이섬유소와 시판되는 수용성 식이섬유소가 생리져 기능이 거의 비슷하고 무독성이 관찰됨으로써 신갈나무로부터 제조된 수용성 식이섬유소의 제조 방법이 우수하다고 볼 수 있다.

Recombinant single chain Fv (scFv) antibodies offer many advantages over mouse monoclonal antibodies such as faster clearance from blood, improved tumor localization, reduced human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) response, and the availability to manipulate the scFv through genetic approaches. The recombinant phage display was constructed using lym-l hybridoma cells as a source of genetic starting material. mRNA was isolated from the corresponding antibodies hybridoma cells. VH and VL cDNA were amplified with RT-PCR and linked with ScFv by linker DNA to form ScFv DNA, which then were inserted into phagemid pCANTAB5E. The phage of positive clones selected with tube containing raji lymphoma cell and infected by competent E. coli HB2151 to express soluble scFv. The scFv lym-l was secreted into the cytosol and culture supernatant and shown to be of expected size (approximately 32 kDa) by western blot. An active scFv lym-l could be produced in E. coli with soluble form and high yield from hybridoma cell line, using phage display system. Immunoreactivity indicated that scFv lym1 showed a potential biding affinity against the raji lymphoma cell as its parental antibody (intact lym-l Ab).

A new constitutive episomal expression vector, pGAPZ-E, was constructed and used for initial screening of eukaryotic target gene expression in Pichia pastoris. Two reporter genes such as beta-galactosidase gene and GFPuv gene were overexpressed in P. pastoris. The expression level of the episomal pGAPZ-E strain was higher than that of the integrated form when the beta-galactosidase gene was used as the reporter gene in P. pastoris X33. The avoiding of both the integration procedure and an induction step simplified the overall screening process for eukaryotic target gene expression in P. pastoris. Nine human protein targets from the Core 50, family of Northeast Structural Genomics Consortium (http://www.nesg.org), which were intractable when expressed in E. coli, were subjected to rapid screening for soluble expression in P. pastoris. HR547, HR919, and HR1697 human proteins, which had previously been found to express poorly or to be insoluble in E. coli, expressed in soluble form in P. pastoris. Therefore, the new episomal GAP promoter vector provides a convenient and alternative system for high-throughput screening of eukaryotic protein expression in P. pastoris.
