Heterocyclic compounds with oxygen atoms are known to have potent biological effect. The flavonoids. isoflavonoids. and coumarins which form the bulk of these compounds are very polar and have limited use as drugs which have to pass through membranes. The non-polar property is increased by exchange oxygen to selenium as a part of heterocyclic compound. Our group is focused on synthesizing selenoheterocyclic compound with the above property.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs), commonly called red tides, are caused by some toxic phytoplanktons, and have made massive economic losses as well as marine environmental disturbances. As an effective and environment-friendly strategy to control HAB outbreaks, biological methods using marine bacteria capable of killing the harmful algae or algicidal extracellular compounds from them have been given attention. A new member of the $\gamma$-Proteobacteria, Hahella chejuensis KCTC 2396, was originally isolated from the Korean seashore for its ability to secrete industrially useful polysaccharides, and was characterized to produce a red pigment. This pigment later was identified as an alkaloid compound, prodigiosin. During the past several decades, prodigiosin has been extensively studied for its medical potential as immunosuppressants and antitumor agents, owing to its antibiotic and cytotoxic activities. The lytic activity of this marvelous molecule against Cochlodinium polykrikoides cells at very low concentrations ($\sim$l ppb) was serendipitously detected, making H. chejuensis a strong candidate among the biological agents for HAB control. This review provides a brief overview of algicidal marine bacteria and their products, and describes in detail the algicidal characteristics, biosynthetic process, and genetic regulation of prodigiosin as a model among the compounds active against red-tide organisms from the biochemical and genetic viewpoints.

A novel green aqueous mobile phase modified with room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) was employed in the absence of volatile organic solvents or ion-pairing reagents to analyze thiamine, a very polar compound, by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Due to its strongly hydrophilic nature, thiamine was eluted near the column dead time ($t_0$) using a mobile phase without adding RTILs or ion-pairing reagents, even if a 100% aqueous mobile phase, which has weak elution power under reverse phase conditions, was used. Thus, 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([EMIM][$PF_6$]), which has the strongest chaotropic effect, was selected as a mobile phase additive to improve retention and avoid baseline disturbances at $t_0$. Various mobile phase parameters such as cation moiety, chaotropic anion moiety, pH and concentration of RTILs were optimized to determine thiamine at the proper retention time. Method validation was performed to assess linearity, intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision, recovery and repeatability; all results were found to be satisfactory. The developed method was also compared to the current official United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and Korean Pharmacopoeia (KP) methods using an organic mobile phase containing an ionpairing reagent by means of evaluating various chromatographic parameters such as the capacity factor, theoretical plate number, peak asymmetry and tailing factor. The results indicated that the proposed method exhibited better efficiency of thiamine analysis than the official methods, and it was successfully applied to quantify thiamine in pharmaceutical preparations.

This studies was carried out in order to investigate the browning reaction of lipid originated compound with nitrogenous compound in dried conger eel. The major fatty acids were $C_{16:0},\;C_{16:1},\;C_{18:1},\;C_{20:5}\;and\;C_{22:6}$. The nonpolar lipid contained the highest percentage of $C_{16:0}$, while the polar lipid contained the highest percentage of $C_{22:6}$. The browning reaction there was a rapidly developed with the beginning of the decline in carbonyl value and remarkable decrease in polyunsaturated fatty acids such as $C_{20:5},\;C_{22:5},\;C_{22:6}$ compared with the other fatty acid, in the water soluble fraction of the browning product obtained from tile fish was detected some antioxidation activity but in the lipid soluble fraction which covers most of the browning reactions in the fish meat antioxidation activity was not detected. In the test of conger eel oil, the phosphatidylcholine was largest in quantity and browning products provided in this experiment showed very low reducing activity.

We report the effect of basal-plane stacking faults (BSFs) on X-ray diffraction (XRD) of non-polar (11$\underline{2}$0) a-plane GaN films with different $SiN_x$ interlayers. Complete $SiN_x$ coverage and increased three-dimensional (3D) to two-dimensional (2D) transition stages substantially reduce BSF density. It was revealed that the Si-doping profile in the Si-doped GaN layer was unaffected by the introduction of a $SiN_x$ interlayer. The smallest in-plane anisotropy of the (11$\underline{2}$0) XRD ${\omega}$-scan widths was found in the sample with multiple $SiN_x$ layers, and this finding can be attributed to the relatively isotropic GaN mosaic resulting from the increase in the 3D-2D growth step. Williamson-Hall (WH) analysis of the (h0$\underline{h}$0) series of diffractions was employed to determine the c-axis lateral coherence length (LCL) and to estimate the mosaic tilt. The c-axis LCLs obtained from WH analyses of the present study's representative a-plane GaN samples were well correlated with the BSF-related results from both the off-axis XRD ${\omega}$-scan and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Based on WH and TEM analyses, the trends in BSF densities were very similar, even though the BSF densities extracted from LCLs indicated that the values were reduced by a factor of about twenty.

액화석유가스(liquefied petroleum gas, LPG)에 디메틸에테르(dimethyl ether, DME)가 첨가된 DME-LPG 혼합연료의 탄화수소 화합물을 가스크로마토그래피(GC)를 이용하여 정성 정량분석하는 새로운 분석방법을 연구하였다. DME-LPG 혼합연료는 함산소화합물(oxygen-containing compound)인 극성의 DME와 비극성물질인 LPG로 구성되어 있기때문에 하나의 GC 컬럼에서 모든 성분을 완전히 분리하기가 어렵다. 따라서 서로 다른 성질의 화합물이나 아주 복잡한 화합물 중 목표물질의 분석에 응용되고 있는 Deans switching 시스템을 도입하였다. 상기 시스템은 두 개의 GC 컬럼 사이에 유체의 압력 제어를 통하여 용출되는 물질의 흐름 방향을 변경시켜주는 기술로서, 이 방법을 이용하여 DME와 LPG를 서로 다른 컬럼에서 분리하여 한번의 시료 주입으로 DME-LPG 혼합연료의 모든 탄화수소 화합물을 정성 정량분석할 수 있었다. 또한 DME 합성과정에서 부산물로 생성될 수 있는 메탄올, 포름산메틸, 에틸메틸에테르 같은 미량성분까지 분석이 가능하였다.

An attempt to improve the second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of MAP (methyl (2,4-dinitrophenyl)aminopropanoate) by modifying the substituents on the amino group of MAP is described. Several MAP analogues have been prepared using optically active amino acids alanine, phenylalanine and serine, and their SHG efficiencies measured. None of the MAP analogues exhibited SHG efficiencies as high as that of MAP. X-ray crystal structures of three MAP analogues have been determined. In the crystal structures of two of them, which were the derivatives of phenylalanine, two crystallographically-independent molecules existing in the asymmetric unit are aligned almost antiparallel. These structures are consistent with the very low SHG efficiencies of these compounds. On the other hand, the crystal structure of a serine derivative reveals substantial alignment of the dinitroaniline chromophore along the polar axis. However, the angle of 86.2° between the molecular charge tranfer axis and the polar axis of the crystal is still far away from the optimum value of 54.74° for the phase-matchable SHG. The structure is consistent with the SHG efficiency of this compound which is much higher than those of the phenylalanine derivatives but still lower than that of MAP. This study demonstrates the importance of the orientation of molecules in the crystal lattice in determining secod-order nonlinear optical properties of crystalline materials.
