Compositae plants are known to contain biologically active substances that are allelopathic to agricultural crops as well as weed species. Aqueous extracts from leaves of Xanthium occidentale were assayed against alfalfa (Medicago sativa) to determine their allelopathic effects, and the result showed that the extracts applied onto filter paper significantly inhibited seed germination as well as root growth of alfalfa. Untreated seeds germinated in 60h, but extract concentrations greater than 30g $\textrm{L}^{-1}$ delayed seed germination. The extracts significantly inhibited seed germination of alfalfa, and $\beta$-amylase activity of alfalfa and barley seeds during 24-36 hours after treatment. Aqueous extracts of 40 g $\textrm{L}^{-1}$ from X. occidentale were completely inhibited the hypocotyl and root growth of alfalfa. Aqueous leaf extracts showed the highest inhibitory effect and followed by root and stem extracts. Early seedling growth of both alfalfa and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) was significantly reduced by methanol extracts. By means of high-performance liquid chromatography, chlorogenic acid and trans-cinnamic acid were quantified as the highest amounts from water and EtOAc fractions, respectively. BuOH and EtOAc fractions of X. occidentale reduced alfalfa root growth more than did hexane and water fractions. The findings of the bioassays for aqueous or methanol extracts reflected that the inhibitory effect of extract was closely related to the level of responsible allelochemicals found in plant extracts.

동결건조한 김치를 물, 메탄올, 에칠 에테르로 각각 추출한 후 이들 용매추출물들이 지니고 있는 지질산화반응에서의 항산화력에 대하여 고찰하였다. 즉, linoleic acid mixture의 액상산화반응 조건($37^{\circ}C$)에서 과산화물 생성억제에 대한 용매별, 김치발효기간별, 농도별, 그리고 혼합용매종류별로 실험하여 추출물의 항산화능을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 물과 메탄올 추출물이 에틸에테르 추출물 보다 과산화물의 생성을 더 억제 하였다.그리고 첨가농도가 증가할수록 항산화성이 증대되었으며 발효 초일의 김치나 과숙김치보다 잘 숙성된 김치(15$^{\circ}C$에서 7일간 발효)의 추출물에 더 항산화성이 높았다. 또한 물과 메탄올의 비율을 달리 하여 추출한 경우 순수 메탄올보다 50~80% 메탄올 농도에서의 용매추출물에서 항산화효과가 높았다. 비록 75% 메탄올추출물의 항산화성은 BHA와 $\alpha$토코페롤보다는 낮았지만 동 추출물에서 계통적 분획 등에 의한 분획물의 항산화성을 계속 검토하므로서 보다 높은 항산화성 물질이 분리될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Ionic cluster mimic, polymer electrolyte membranes were prepared using polymer composites of crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with sulfated-${\beta}$-cyclodextrins (${\beta}-CDSO_3H$) or phosphated-${\beta}$-cyclodextrins (${\beta}-CDPO(OH)_2$). When Nafion, developed for a fuel cell using low temperature, polymer electrolyte membranes, is used in a direct methanol fuel cell, it has a methanol crossover problem. The ionic inverted micellar structure formed by micro-segregation in Nafion, known as ionic cluster, is distorted in methanol aqueous solution, resulting in the significant transport of methanol through the membrane. While the ionic structure formed by the ionic sites in either ${\beta}-CDSO_3H$ or ${\beta}-CDPO(OH)_2$ in this composite membrane is maintained in methanol solution, it is expected to reduce methanol transport. Proton conductivity was found to increase in PVA membranes upon addition of ionized cyclodextrins. Methanol permeability through the PVA composite membrane containing cyclodextrins was lower than that of Nafion. It is thus concluded that the structure and fixation of ionic clusters are significant barriers to methanol crossover in direct methanol fuel cells.

맥엽과 이를 이용한 항산화 조성물을 제조하여 이에 존재하는 nitrite scavenging효과와 이에 따른 발암원으로 부터의 보호 효과를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 맥엽과 항산화 조성물 모두 수층에 비하여 메탄올층에서 아질산염 소거능이 2배 이상 높게 나타나 M-BL50의 0.01 mg/ml 농도에서 약 64.3%, M-AM 0.01 mg/ml 처리군이 이보다 약간 높은 68.3% 정도로 나타내었다. 마우스 단핵구 기원인RAW 264.7(macrophage, mouse)에 맥엽과 항산화 조성물의 수층과 메탄올층을 처리하고 세포 생존율을 측정한 결과 수층 처리군에 비해 메탄올층 처리군에서 모두 세포 생존율이 더 낮게 측정되었으며 모든 시료에서 농도의존적으로 세포 증식이 억제되었다. 특히, M-AM을 처리한 군의 경우 모든 농도에서 가장 낮은 세포 생존율을 나타내어 항산화물 첨가에 의해 세포 증식 억제 효과가 상승됨을 알 수 있었으며 $IC_{50}$ 수치 또한 메탄올층과 A-AM시료 처리군에서 현저히 낮은 수치를 나타내었다. 또한 세포 내 아질산염 소거능을 측정한 결과 역시 마찬가지로 맥엽 입자 크기에 따른 차이는 나타나지 않았으며 수층 처리군에 비해 메탄올층 처리군과 항산화물을 첨가한 군에서 모두 높은 소거능을 나타내어 맥엽 및 기타 항산화물을 섭취함으로써 체내에서의 니트로사민 생성을 억제시킬 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

The effect of aqueous methanol on the catalytic properties of porcine pancreatic lipase has been investigated. The k$_{CAT}$, values for the hydrolysis of N$^{alpha}$-benzyloxycarbonyl-L­lysine p-nitrophenyl ester at 0$^{circ}$C increased in a linear manner with increasing methanol concentration. However, the K$_{M}$ values were not influenced at methanol concentrations lower than $30\%$ and then began to increase at higher concentrations in an exponential fashion. Based on product analysis, the increase in k$_{CAT}$, with increasing methanol concentration can be accounted for by nucleophilic competition of methanol for the acyl enzyme intermediate, indicating that the rate-limiting step of the porcine pancreatic lipase-catalyzed reaction is deacylation under current experimental conditions. The exponential increase in K$_{M}$ at methanol concentrations higher than $30\%$ is attributed to the hydrophobic partitioning effect on substrate binding. There was no loss of lipase activity over a 4 h period in $60\%$ methanol concentration at pH$^{circ}$ 5.5 and 0$^{circ}$C. By monitoring the intrinsic fluorescence and absorbance, no evidence for structural changes by methanol was observed.

Aqueous fractions from Korean red ginseng inhibited the phosphorylations of 40 KD and 20 KD polypeptides which were induced by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (100 nM) in human platelets. Much more carbohydrates were contained in the aqueous fractions than proteins. An aqueous fraction extracted with methanol, mainly, consists of glycoproteins, molecular weights of which were below 18 KD. We may infer that the aqueous fraction from Korean red ginseng do antitumorous and antiplatelet functions.

Solvolysis rates of isopropenyl chloroformate (3) in water, $D_2O$, $CH_3OD$ and in aqueous methanol, ethanol, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE), acetone, 1,4-dioxane as well as TFE-ethanol at 10 ${^{\circ}C}$ are reported. Additional kinetic data for pure water, pure ethanol and 80%(w/w) 2,2,2-trifuoroethanol (T)-water (W) at various temperatures are also reported. These rates show the phenomena of maximum rates in specific solvents (30% (v/v) methanol-water and 20% (v/v) ethanol-water) and, variations in relative rates are small in aqueous alcohols. The kinetic data are analyzed in terms of GW correlations, steric effect, kinetic solvent isotope effects (KSIE), and a third order model based on general base catalysis (GBC). Solvolyses based on predominately stoichiometric solvation effect relative to medium solvation are proceeding in 3 and the results are remarkably similar to those for p-nitrobenzoyl chloride (4) in mechanism and reactivity.

In this work we measured the total pressure of the aqueous solutions and the methanol-water solutions dissolved with inorganic salts, at $25^{\circ}C$. In organic electrolytes used in this work were $K_2SO_4$ and $(NH_4)_2SO_4$. Using the measured vapour pressures the activity coefficient of solvents and the mean ionic activity coefficient were obtained through thermodynamic relations. The activity coefficients of solvent and the mean ionic activity coefficirnt obtained in this work were fitted with Macedo's model and Acard's model. Both two models were good agreeable to the vapor pressure and the mean ionic activity coefficient for the electroyte aqueous solutions. For electrolyte /methanol/water solutions, Macedo's model had much deviation from experimental data, while Acard's model showed a good agreement with experimental data.

Monodisperse PMMA micro spheres are prepared by means of a simple soap-free emulsion polymerization in methanol-enriched aqueous medium in a single step process. The size and uniformity of the microspheres are dependent on the polymerization temperature. In a stable system, the uniformity is improved with the polymerization time. The most uniform and stable micro spheres are obtained under mild agitation speed of 100 rpm at 70$^{\circ}C$. The monodisperse PMMA microspheres in the size range of 1.4-2.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$ having less than 5% size variation are successfully achieved with varying concentrations of monomer and initiator. As the monomer and initiator concentrations increase, the larger micro spheres with enhanced uniformity are obtained. However, the decreased amount of water induces the polydisperse PMMA particles due to the generation of secondary particles.
