The Fluorescent 7-aminodipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (7-amino-dppz, 1) is functionalized as an europium ion ($Eu^{3+}$) sensor, which showed the effective emission quenching when europium cation is chelated to the bpy site of 1 compound. The complexation ratio indicated that the 1 compound forms a 1 : 1 complex with $Eu^{3+}$.

Marsh calm(Corbicular elatior)with a short-term storage in raw and a law-rate of utilization has been increasing the needs to develop new marsh calm processing products for a temporary mass treatment and long-term distribution, Therefore the processing conditions of marsh calm beverage using proteolytic enzyme hydrolysis were investigated. A partial hydrolysis at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour after adding 3% Alcalase as more effective than a hot water extraction to develop taste compounds from the marsh calm. The result of ommission test showed that nucleotides and their related compounds were contributed in the taste of the marsh calm hydrolysates rather than free amino acids. The taste of the hydrolysates was produced by association with these compounds rather than only one compound s the hydrolystes taste differently for the control when one of these compound was omitted. The hydrolysates were fractionated to molecular weight below 500 dalton to eliminate bitter taste and to improve it flavor from the hydrolysates, 0.05% bay leaf was more effective to improve the odor than other herbs.

In order to treat the complex wastewater containing organic compound and solids, pre-treatment system associated with molecular separation process were investigated. The reductions of COD and turbidity were obtained after coagulation processes using Alum (Aluminium sulfate, $Al_2(SO_4)_2{\cdot}18H_{2}O$) and PACl (poly aluminium chloride as 17% $Al_{2}O_{3}$). The results of study were as follows: using variable dosage of Alum, COD removal was highest at 4,000 mg/l, and the reduction of COD and turbidity was 42% and 92%, respectively. The optimum coagulation would be effective at pH 7.3 than pH 9.0 by the addition of alum at a concentration of 6,000 mg/l and PACl was add at 4.25% in raw complex wastewater with 2,000 mg/l alum at pH 7.3, the reduction of COD was reduced by 32%. But coagulation aid experiments indicated that PACl would be more effective in sludge separation ability than COD removal efficiency.

In preparation of NBD dimer, one of the industrially useful multicyclic hydrocarbon compound, various catalyst, solvent and byproducts were included in reaction product at the end of dimerization reaction. In order to increase the yield of NBD dimer mixture, first of all, effective separation process development was required. The research for improvement of NBD dimer yield were performed by use of eco-friendly and recyclable separation solvent.

Compound K (C-K) is one of the most pharmaceutically effective ginsenosides, but it is absent in natural ginseng. However, C-K can be obtained through the hydrolysis of protopanaxadiol-type ginsenosides (PPDGs) in natural ginseng. The aim of this study was to obtain the high concentration of food-available C-K using PPDGs in Korean ginseng extract by an extracellular enzyme from Aspergillus niger KACC 46495. A. niger was cultivated in the culture medium containing the inducer carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) for 6 days. The extracellular enzyme extracted from A. niger was prepared from the culture broth by filtration, ammonium sulfate, and dialysis. The extracellular enzyme was used for C-K production using PPDGs. The glycoside-hydrolyzing pathways for converting PPDGs into C-K by the extracellular enzyme were Rb1 → Rd → F2 → C-K, Rb2 → Rd or compound O → F2 or compound Y → C-K, and Rc → Rd or compound Mc1 → F2 or compound Mc → C-K. The extracellular enzyme from A. niger at 8.0 mg/ml, which was obtained by the induction of CMC during the cultivation, converted 6.0 mg/ml (5.6 mM) PPDGs in Korean ginseng extract into 2.8 mg/ml (4.5 mM) food-available C-K in 9 h, with a productivity of 313 mg/l/h and a molar conversion of 80%. To the best of our knowledge, the productivity and concentration of C-K of the extracellular enzyme are the highest among those by crude enzymes from wild-type microorganisms.

Sixty kinds of medicinal plants were examined upon the cytotoxicity against L1210 mouse leukemia cells. Isolation and purification of effective antitumor substances from Chysanthemum boreale had been performed which appeared strong cytotoxicity, In cytotoxicity test of the each solvent fractions, $ED_{50}$ values of chloroform fraction against L1210, K562 and A549 cells were shown as 3.98, 4.28, 3.84 (${\mu}g/ml$), respectively. Compound I and II were purified from the chloroform fraction. Between the purified compounds, $ED_{50}$ values of Compound I against L1210, K562 and A549 cells were shown as 0.55, 0.0003, 0.001 (${\mu}g/ml$), respectivety. Whereas Compound II was shu as 4.79 against K562.

Seven kinds of polyphenol compounds having ACE activities were isolated and purified by Sephadex LH-20, MCI-gel CHP-20, ${\um}-Bondapak\;C_{18}$ and Fuji-gel ODS $G_3$ sucessively from cacao bean(Ghana). The chemical structures of each compound were determined and identified using analyzers such as $^1H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$, IR, MS, polarimeter and Elemental Analysis. Inhibition effects of isolated polyphenols on angiotensin converting enzyme (concerned with hypertension) were also observed. The results obtained were as follows,; The compounds isolated and identified were confirmed and determined as compound 1 [(+)-catechin], compound 2 [(-)-epicatechin], compound 3 [procyanidin B-1 : (-)-epicatechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8)$-(+)catechin], compound 4 [procyanidin B-2 : (-)-epicatechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8)$-(-)-epicatechin], compound 5 [procyanidin B-7 : (-)-epicatechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}6)$-(+)-catechin], campound 6 (procyanidin B-2,3,3'-O -digallate), compound 7 [cinnamtannin A-2 : (-)-epicatechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8)$-(-)-epicatechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8)$-(-)-epicatechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8)$-(-)-epicatechin]. In the inhibition effect on ACE, procyanidin B-2,3,3'-O-digallate (compound 6) showed a higher value of 94.6% for ACE in $100\;{\um}M$ than other compounds such as (+)-catechin (compound 1), (-)-epicatechin (compound 2), procyanidin B-1 (compound 3), procyanidin B-2 (compound 4), procyanidin B-7 (compound 5) and cinnamtannin A-2 (compound 7) showing 67.9%, 61.9%, 88.6%, 82.5%, 72.2% and 82.3% for ACE, respectively. Inhibition of $4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8$ in coupling bond on the ACE enzyme was more effective than that of $4{\beta}{\rightarrow}6$. Procyanidin containing gallate inhibited more effectively than those containing not any. It was also observed that a lot of hydroxy group in the compounds increased the inhibitory effect.

Dirofilaria (D.) immitis is an important canine parasitic nematode in dogs. D. immitis parasitizes the right ventricle and pulmonary artery of dogs. An ivermectin and pyrantel pamoate compound (IPPC) was administered to dogs naturally infected with this parasite. IPPC is composed of 68.0, 136.0 and $272.0{\mu}g$ of ivermectin and 57.0, 114.0 and 227.0 mg pyrantel pamoate for small, middle, and large animals. Ivermectin has activity against nematodes and ectoparasites in dogs. Pyrantel pamoate is also effective against nematodes in dogs. Our results showed that this drug combination has good efficacy in D. immitis infected dogs.
