  • In order to investigate the protein binding characteristics of braD6n and hematoxy6n to bovine semm albumin (BSA), the fluorescence probe method was adopted. Brazilin and hematoxy6n showed strong binding affinity for BSA. It was also confirmed that hematoxy6n was bound to BSA stronger than braDlin. The association constants were decreased by the elevation of concentrations of brazilin and hematoxylin. It might be due to the complex formation of the probe and both compounds or the interaction between the probe-protein complex and both compounds. The bindings between both compounds and BSA were dependent on pH and ionic strength. It seems that electrostatic force as weD as hydrophobic force is involved in the binding of braD6n and bematoxylin to BSA.

  • DNA topoisomerase I(TOP1) helps the control of DNA replication, transcription and recombination by assist­ing breaking and rejoining of DNA double strand. Camptothecin (CPT) and its derivative, topotecan, are known to inhibit TOP1 by intercalating into TOP1-DNA complex. Recently various non-CPT intercalators are synthesized for a new class of TOP1 inhibitors. In this study, six compounds isolated from Poria cocos were investigated for their interaction with TOP1­DNA complex using the flexible docking program, FlexiDock. The binding modes were analyzed and compared with the TOP1 inhibition activities. The compounds that showed potent activity were intercalated between the + 1/-1 base pairs of DNA, located near the active site phosphotyrosine723 and formed hydrogen bonds with active site residues. On the other hand, compounds with no activity were not docked at all. The binding modes were well correlated with the inhibition activity, suggesting the possibility that potent inhibitors can be designed from the information presented by the docking study.

  • A screen printed graphite electrode has been developed for a simple and sensitive determination of phenolic compounds in an aqueous solution. The electrode developed uses a simple and effective screen printing technique with ${\alpha}-Cyclodextrin({\alpha}-CD)$ modified graphite ink. Phenols were captured on the surface of the ${\alpha}-CD$ modified electrode through complex formation. The phenol/ ${\alpha}-CD$ complex was deposited and quantified electrochemically using cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). The optimization of the experimental parameters was performed in regard to electrode composition, pH, temperature, sample preconcentration time. Interferences from other organic compounds were investigated. The detection limit for phenols was 500 ${\pm}7$ nM for DPV, with the linear range of 0.5 ${\mu}M$ -25.0 ${\mu}M$ and 30 ${\pm}2$ nM for SWV, with the linear range of 30 nM - $50{\mu}M$, respectively.

  • Abstract - The Evodiae Fructus is known for containing a number of indolquinazoline and quinoline type alkaloids. Evodiamine, evocarpine and rutaecarpine are the major constituents of alkaloids. These alkaloids were isolated and determined by forming complex compounds from Evodiae Fructus in O-Su-You-Tang. For the determination of these alkaloids, a new spectrophotometric method was developed with a simple and selective sample clean-up using thiocyanatocobaltate[II] compIεx compound ion. The absorbance of alkaloidal complex compounds in 1,2-dichloroethane solution was measured at 625 nm. The method proved to be rapid, simple and reliable for the isolation and the determination of the alkaloids in O-Su-You-Tang.

  • Four coordinated rhodium(Ⅰ) complexes, Rh($ClO_4$)(CO)$(PPh_3)_2$ and [$Rh(CO)(PPh_3)_3$]$ClO_4$(2) catalyze the iosmerization of allylic alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds at room temperature under nitrogen. The isomerization is faster with 2 than with 1, which is understood in terms of relative ease of the last step of the catalytic cycle, the reductive elimination of enol. Relative rates of the isomerization with 1 and 2 for different allylic alcohols are also explained by the relative ease of the enol elimination step in part. The first step of the catalytic cycle, the complex formation of the allylic alcohol through the ${\pi}-system$ of the olefinic group of the allylic alcohol and the following step, formation of hydridoallyl complex also seem to affect the overall rate of the isomerization.

  • The reaction of ammonium ferric sulfate with sodium borohydride in laponite sol yields nanoiron colloidal solution. This solution in air forms transparent yellow brown solution. The resulting solution reacts with bidentate chelating ligands. The reaction products are characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. All compounds show metal to ligand charge transfer band in the region of 400~650 nm in UV-Vis absorption spectra. This indicates the formation of iron-ligand complex by air oxidation of nanoiron. Also, XRD patterns exhibit that the iron-ligand complex is intercalated in the interlayer of laponite.

  • Taiwanese abounds with verbal complexes. Among them, phasal complexes, resultative complexes, and directional complexes are alike in that their second component denotes some sort of result. Moreover, they behave similarly in that they can occur in V-ho-Y, V-e/be-Y, and V-bo-V forms. Despite the similarities, they still differ from one another in several aspects, such as whether objects are allowed inside or after the verbal complex, whether infixing changes their basic meaning, etc. This paper examines their individual properties carefully and proposes that these three types of complexes are all different from one another in their formation and thus the difference in their syntactic behavior. Directional complexes are syntactic phrases, resultative complexes are compounds derived in syntax, and while some phasal complexes are also syntactically derived compounds, others are compounds formed in the lexicon. This paper aims to argue that words (or compounds in this case) can be formed in syntax as well as in the lexicon.

  • As a typical example of simultaneous analysis of the odorous compounds, the volatile organic compounds from inventory sources in Seongseo industrial area were concentrated and analyzed with thermal desorber/GC/MSD, and major malodorous compounds were estimated. Odor intensity and odor concentration was analyzed simultaneously During a period from November in 2002 to December in 2003, this study was conducted to evaluate malodor emission characterization in major treatment facilities. The major components were Dimethyl sulfide, Dimethyl disulfide, Methyl mercaptane, Ammonia, Benzene, Toluene, m,p-xylene, o-xylene, Styrene, 1,2,4­T.M.B and 1,3,5-T.M.B. Among the six major inventory sources, the odor unit concentration of Night-soil disposal facilities was the highest, $669\~2344\;ou/m^{3}.$

  • ROS1 (c-ros oncogene) is one of the gene with mutation in NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer). The increased expression of ROS1 is leading to the increase proliferation of cell, cell migration and survival. Crizotinib and Entrectinib are the drugs that have been approved by FDA against ROS1 protein, but recently patients started to develop resistance against Crizotinib and there is a need of new drug that could act as an effective drug against ROS1 for NSCLC. In this study, we have performed virtual screening, where compounds are taken from Zinc 15 dataset and molecular docking was performed. The top compounds were taken based upon their binding affinity and their interactions with the residues. The compounds stability and chemical reactivity was also studied through Density Functional theory and their properties. Further study of these compounds could reveal the required information of ROS1-inhibitor complex and in the discovery of potent inhibitors.

  • Plants are a traditional source of many chemicals used as biochemical, flavors, food, color, and pharmaceuticals in various countries, especially India. Most herbal medicines and their derivatives are often made from crude extracts containing a complex mixture of various phytochemical chemical components (secondary metabolites of the plants). This study aimed to identify bioactive compounds from the different parts of the plant from the ethanolic extract of Gymnema sylvestre, Senna auriculata, and Cissus quadrangularis (leaves, flower, stem) by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The gas chromatography - mass spectrometry analysis revealed the presence of various compounds like 3,4-dimethylcyclohexanol, hexanoic acid, D-mannose, and N-decanoic acid. Hence, the Gymnema sylvestre, Senna auriculata, and Cissus quadrangularis may have chemopreventive, anti-cancer, anti-microbial activity, antioxidant, anti-diabetic activity, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal due to the presence of secondary metabolites in the ethanolic extract. These phytochemicals are supported for traditional use in a variety of diseases.
