From the ether soluble alkaloidal fraction of Panax ginseng, 4-methyl-5-thiazoleethanol, norharman and barman were isolated. 4-Methyl-5-thiazoleethanol was isolated for the first time from natural resources.

A thin layer flow cell with cell volume of $8\;{\mu}{\ell}$ was constructed. Diffusion currents of ascorbic acid was directly proportional to the 1/3 power of volume flow rates. A linear dynamic range was obtained at the concentration range between $10^{-7}\;M\;and\;10^{-4}\;M$ of ascorbic acid with a detection limit of $10^{-8}\;M$. Ascorbic acid in the multivitamin product was amperometrically determined at TLFC after simply dissolving mg range ground product in $100m{\ell}$ of pH 7.0 phosphate buffer.

Examination of the constituents of a marine sponge, Aplysina fishtularis, indicated that brominated tyrosine metabolites were mainly responsible for antimicrobial and antineoplastic activities. Halogenated tyrosine metabolites, 2, 6-dibromo-(2), 2-bromo-3-chloro-(3) and 2, 6-dibromo-(5), 5-a mino-2-bromo-6-chloro-(6) and 5-amino-2, 6-dich-loro-(7) 4-hydroxy-2-cyclohexenone-4-acetic acid lactams were identified as the major antineoplastic and antimicrobial principles. Many other brominated tyrosine metabolites were also confirmed, but they did not show antimicrobial and antineoplastic activities.

Covalent binding of the reactive metabolites of SC_42867 to microsomal proteins has been examined. In the absence of inhibitor of cytochrome oxydase (.alpha.-naphtyl-isothiocyanate) or a radical scavenger (3-terthiobuty-4-hydroxyanisol), up to 4.0% of total redioactivity used in the assay could irreversibly bind to proteins. In the presence of an inhibitor, the highest percentage of covalent binding observed is 0.7% a significant decrease of the metabolism of SC42876 was observed. These results suggest in a cytochrome P-450 dependent generation of SC_42867 metabolites significantly take part in the covalent binding process.

S. pneumoniae (pneumococcus) gene cloning and library construction in E. coli multicopy plasmid has been hampered, in part, by instability problems. In this study, stability of pneumococcus gene library in cosmid vector and pACYC184 was examined. Pneumococcus library in the cosmid vector pHC79 was extermely unstable that most of the recobinant clones were degenerated rapidly. Only 2 out 849 clones were stable and had appropriate insert size. Pneumococcus library in pACYC184 was also so unstable that the pneumococcal inserg and/or part of the vector were deleted. However, the instability problems seemed to be resolved when transcription teminator plasmid was employed for pneumococcus library construction.

One new and three known coumarins were isolated from the $CHCl_3$ soluble fraction of Angelica dahurica stem. On the basis of spectral data, the structures of the isolated compounds were determined to be scopoletin, angelol I, angelol H and 6-[(1S), 2(R)-2, 3-dihydroxy-1-methoxy-3-methylbutyl]-7-methoxycoumarin; the latter being isolated for the first time from a plant source.

From our previous result that Panax ginseng head extract had inhibition of gastric damages, the extract was fractionated. Among the hexane, chloroform, butanol and water fractions, butanol fraction Showed the most potent inhibition of HCl.ethanol-induced gastric lesion, aspirin-induced gastric ulcer, acetic acid-induced ulcer and Shay ulcer. Butanol fraction showed significant increase in mucin secretion, and inhibited malondialdehyde (MDA) and $H^{+}/K^{+}ATPase$ activity in the stomach. This results indicate that the effectiveness of the fraction on gastric damages might be related to inhibition of acid secretion, increment of mucin secretion and antioxidant property.

Thirteen monoterpenes were examined for their effects on the bovine lens aldose reductase activity. the monoterpenes tested in this study showed mild inhibitory effects except 3-carene which did not show any significant effect. At the concentration of $10^{-3}$ M(+) Pulegon showed 42% inhibition on lens aldose reductase activity, which is the most otent effect among the tested substance.

Distribution and binding properties of sodium salicylate the human red blood cells were studied under various experimental conditions. The effect of tonicity and hemolysis on the steady state level of the drug within the human red blood cells were accounted for in this study. When the washed cells were suspended in normal saline solution, the drug was so rapidly permeated into red cells. Since the pH of the system forces nearly complete ionization of the drug, ionic diffusion through aqueous pores is thought to be the mode of salicylate transport. Human red cell binding capacity and association constant for salicylate were estimated. This work supports the view that the red cells act asan important reservior of salicylate.

A new $4,5,8-trihydroxy-{\alpha}-tetralone-5-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ along with 1,4,8-trihydroxynaphthalene1-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ and gallic acid were isolated from the roots of Juglans mandshurica. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic studies.
