Isosorbide dinitrate is an oral assiatant therapy agent of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure. The objective of this study was to formulate sustained release containing isosorbide dinitrate and assess their formulation variables. Pellets were prepared by fluid bed process and consist of drug layer and membrane layer. The pellets were coated with ethylcellulose along with $5{\sim}15%$ of plasticizer such as triacetin and diethyl butylrate. In vitro evaluation study was performed by comparative dissolution test between test and reference isosorbide dinitrate preparation. We could prepare sustained pellets of isosorbide dinitrate by fluid bed process which were reduced process time and had high content. The pellet coated with 1% ethylcellulose and triacetin(l5%) had a similar dissolution behavior compare to reference isosorbide dinitrate preparation controlling initial dissolution and those of dissolution at 30 min were 17.25 and 17.09%, respectively. Difference factor and similarity factor were $0{\sim}15$ and $50{\sim}100$ and there was no significant difference in bioequivalence between formulations. It might be concluded that our sustained release pellet of isosorbide dinitrate could be an alternatively delivery system to reference drug preparation.

This study was conducted to investigate the combined effects of VFA composition of rumen fluid and heat exposure (30${\pm}$2$^{\circ}C$) on the general clinical view and insulin secretory response to glucose in sheep. The total infusion of nutrients was examined in sheep via the technique of continuous alimentation. Four adult Suffolk sheep fitted with a permanent ruminal cannula and a simple T-shaped duodenal cannula were used. A peristaltic pump was used to infuse the solutions of volatile fatty acid triglycerides (VFA-TG) consisting of 70 triacetin : 20 tripropionin : 10 tributyrin (low propionin division: LP) and 50 triacetin : 40 tripropionin : 10 tributyrin (high propionin division: HP) on the basis of energy and minerals into the rumen, and casein solution into the duodenum. The effects of heat exposure and type of the levels of VFA-TG solutions on the insulin secretory response to glucose in sheep were investigated by using hyperglycemic clamp (HGC) technique. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. During the heat exposure (latter half of the infusion period), respiration rate, heart rate and rectal temperature increased (P＜0.01, P＜0.01, P＜0.05), but the levels of VFA-TG solutions (LP and HP division) did not affect the general clinical view except for the heart rate. 2. In the HGC technique, glucose infusion rate (GIR) and mean plasma insulin increments (MPII) tended to be ower in the heat exposure than in the thermoneutral environment, but no significant difference was found among the treatments. GIR and MPII remained unchanged between the levels of VFA-TG solutions. 3. In the HGC technique, ratio of MPII to GIR (MPII/GIR) which represents pancreatic ${\beta}$-cell response to glucose stimulation remained unchanged among the treatments.

A FET(field effect transistor) type lipid sensor was fabricated uy immobilizing lipase enzyme on the gate of pH-ISFET($SiO_{2}/Si_{3}N_{4}$). A water soluble polymer, polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) was modified with 1-methyl-4-(formyl-styryl) pyridinium methosulfate(SbQ) to give a photosensitive membrane(PVA-SbQ) in which lipase was immobilized. The optimum photolithographic conditions were ; spin coating speed $5,000{\sim}6,000$ rpm. UV exposure time $20{\sim}30$ seconds, developing time in water $30{\sim}40$ seconds, and vacuum drying time 45 min. at room temperature with the suspension containing PVA-SbQ aqueous solution(SbQ 1mol%, 10 wt %) $200{\mu}L$, bovine serum albumin (BSA) 7.5 mg, and lipase 10 mg. The lipid sensor showed good linear calibration curve in the range of $10{\sim}100$ mM triacetin as a lipid sample.

Solvent-free direct preparation of dichloropropanol (DCP) from glycerol (by-product of bio-diesel production) and hydrochloric acid gas was carried out over acetin catalyst in a gas-liquid batch reactor. For this purpose, acetin mixture and triacetin were used as a homogeneous acetin catalyst. Performance in the acetin-catalyzed reaction was compared to that in the non-catalytic reaction under the same reaction conditions ($110^{\circ}C$, 3 bar, 3 h). Conversion of glycerol in the acetin-catalyzed reactions was ca. 3% higher than that in the non-catalytic reaction, and selectivity for dichloropropanol in the acetin-catalyzed reactions was ca. 50% higher than that in the non-catalytic reaction. It was also revealed that the catalytic performance of triacetin was ca. 2% higher than that of acetic mixture.

The purpose of this study was the development of sustained-release lyogel of chlorhexidine in the treatment of periodontal diseases. A sustained-release chlorhexidine lyogel (CHX-G) was formulated, based on Eudragit$^{(R)}$ (1~3%), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) (0~10%), triacetin (20~40%), hydroxy ethyl cellulose (HEC) (1%) and glycerin. In vitro studies were performed to determine the release rate of chlorhexidine from CHX-Gs using dialysis tube. Our results suggest that the release rate of chlorhexidine from lyogel could be controlled by changing the lyogel compositions.

ABSTRACT-A self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) was developed to enhance the solubility and dissolution rate of poorly water soluble drug, biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate, DDB. The system was optimized by evaluating the solubility of DDB and the microemulsion existence range after the preparation of microemulsions with varying compositions of triacetin and surfactant-cosurfactant mixtures (Labrasol as surfactant (S) and the combination of Transcutol, Cremophor RH 40 and Plurol oleique as cosurfactant (CoS)). SMEDDS in this study markedly improved the solubility of DDB in water up to 10 mg/ml and the size of the o/w microemulsion droplets measured by dynamic light scattering showed a narrow monodisperse size distribution with an average diameter less than 50 nm. The microemulsion existing range is increased proportional to the ratio of S/CoS, however, it decreased remarkably as the oil content was more than 20%. In vitro dissolution study of SMEDDS showed a significantly increased dissolution rate of DDB in water (> 12 fold over DDB powder), and SMEDDS also had significantly greater permeability of DDB in Caco-2 cell compared to powders.

Semivolatile components in mainstream smoke of cigarette attached the different type filter were analysed. Based on the main peak of GC profile, benzene, toluene, acetic acid, limonene, acetamide, pyridine, nicotine, phenol, pyrrole, and furfuryl alcohol were identified. The amount delivered of semivolatile components by each filter was evaluated with the ratio of areas of sample vs area% of ISTD. By comparing dual and triple filter to mono filter, the delivery amounts were 52% benzene, 62% toluene and 74% benzene, 84% toluene, respectively. The delivery amount of limonene which was known of tobacco taste component, were 52%, and 93% by dual and triple filter, respectively. Also, delivery amounts of acetic acid which was one of acidic compounds in smoke, were 86% and 83% by dual and triple filter, respectively. When adding the same amount of active carbon, the amounts delivered of vapour phase such as benzene and toluene by dual filter were lower than that of triple filter. But the delivery amounts of acetic acid and phenol by dual filter were higher than that of triple filter. This results assume that the pH of active carbon in filter affect to the adsorption or absorption of triacetin during filter making process.

The semi-volatile fraction of cigarette mainstream smoke contains the most important aroma and taste that enhance smoke flavor. The components in mainstream smoke were analysed for commercially available cigarettes. To compare the semi-volatile components delivered from mainstream smoke of domestic cigarette with imported cigarette, we analyzed three types of filter cigarettes such as cellulose acetate mono filter, carbon dual filter and slim filter cigarette. Mainstream smoke was collected with a combination of Cambridge filter pad and liquid trap containing a small amount of acetone cooled by dry ice-methanol. We have identified 43 components from mainstream smoke by GC and GC/MS and found that benzene, toluene, 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone, 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde, acetic acids nicotine and triacetin were the main peaks in mainstream smoke. Also we have compared the relative amounts of semi-volatile compounds delivered from the domestic and imported cigarettes with three different filters. From the results of this study, the relative amounts of limonene, acetic acid, 5-methyl-Lfuraldehyde delivered from the imported cigarettes were generally higher than those of the domestic one's.

The influence of adding urea to phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins as a co-polymer component were investigated aiming at synthesizing useful phenol-urea-formaldehyde resins. Urea was added at 10% by total resin weight. Several methods for the addition of urea to the PF resins during synthesizing resins to see the co-polymerization occurs between urea and PF resins. The urea was added at the beginning, at three different middle stages, and at the end of PF resin synthesis. The copolymerized methylene bridges between phenol and urea molecules were not observed by $^{13}C-NMR;$ no signal around 50ppm. The curing of urea-modified PF resins, evaluated by dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA), showed some differences among the resins. DMA gel times ranged from 2.75 min to 3.25 min and the resins made with earlier urea additions showed slightly shorter gel times. The longest cure time and gelation time was observed for the resin PFU. Catalyst effects on the DMA cure time values of resins were not significant with different amounts of catalyst or different types of catalyst for all resins tested. Gel times of urea-modified PF resins shortened the most by triacetin catalyst.
