A water soluble spironaphthoxazine (SPO) was synthesized, and its spectral properties were determined. Under UV irradiation, colorless SPO shows intensive blue color while the intensity of its initial fluorescence decreased. In addition, SPO also exhibited high sensitivity to pH stimuli both in colorimetry and fluorometry distinguishing from the spectral appearance observed under UV irradiation. Further, integrating these two optical characteristics a three-state switching system can be established, and all interconversions can be observed by naked-eye.

Biomolecular photo-damaging activity of a water-soluble cationic porphyrin was examined using human serum albumin (HSA), a water-soluble protein as a target biomolecule model by a fluorometry. Dichlorophosphorus(V) tetraphenylporphyrin ($Cl_2P(V)TPP$), was synthesized and used as a photosensitizer. This porphyrin could bind to HSA and cause the photosensitized oxidation of HSA through the singlet oxygen generation and the oxidative photo-induced electron transfer (ET). Near infrared emission spectroscopy demonstrated the photosensitized singlet oxygen generation by this porphyrin. Decrement of the fluorescence lifetime of $Cl_2P(V)TPP$ by HSA supported the ET mechanism. Furthermore, the estimated Gibb's energy indicated that the ET mechanism is possible in the terms of energy. Because oxygen concentration in cancer cell is relatively low, ET mechanism is considered to be advantageous for photosensitizer of photodynamic therapy.

Basic drugs could be extracted as ion-paired complexes with Lumogallion, Superchrome Garnet Y and their alkyl derivatives from aqueous acid solution, and then determined fluoro-metrically after addition of aluminum ion. The analysis was carried out as follows; To a 1 ml portion of basic drugs (10$^{-9}$~2$\times$0$^{-8}$mole/ml), 1ml of 0.01w/v% fluorescent reagent solution, and 10ml of dichloroethane are added. The mixture is stirred for 1 minute. After standing for a few minutes, the dichloroethane layer is transfered to 1 ml of 0.1w/v% Al(NO$_{3}$)$_{3}$ ethanol solution. After mixing, and standing for 30 minutes at room temperature, the fluorescence intensity is measured with each maximum excitation and emission wavelength. The reagent blank is run through the whole procedure. From the degree of enhancement of fluorescence intensity, hexyl and dodecyl lumogallion and Superchrome Garnet Y were judged to be the useful one of fluorescent reagent for basic drugs analysis.

The photosynthetic parameters of dark- adapted minimum fluorescence (Fo) and maximum quantum yield of charge separation in PSII (Fv/Fm) were measured in transverse sections of eight species of marine Phaeophyceae (species of Laminariales, Fucales, Desmarestiales, Chordariales) using pulse amplified modulation (PAM) fluorometry. Within each transverse section fluorescence was measured in three regions corresponding to outer cortical and meristoderm cells, inner cortical cells and innermost medullary cells. Minimum fluorescence declined from 19-74% (mean of 39%) from outermost to innermost cells. Maximum quantum yield varied from 0.51-0.59 in outermost cell layers and this was reduced to 0.23-0.40 in innermost cell layers, with an average reduction of 50%. Despite the reduction Fo in medullary cells (inner), medullas of all species showed maximum quantum yields consistent with a photosynthetic role in carbon fixation. These results show that medullary cells of complex brown algae have more than a role in structure, storage or transport, and may also provide an important role in carbon fixation.

These studies were designed to examine the effects of ginsenosides on glutamate neurotansmission. In primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule cells, ginsenosides (Rb1, Rc did not Rg1, $500\mug/ml$) increased glutamate release which was measured by HPLC. but HPLC, but Re did not shwo an elevation of glutamate release. However, all of these ginsenosides down-regulated N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced glutamate release. Rc strongly increased glutamate release and elevated intracellular clcium concentrations $([Ca_{2+}]_i)$ which was measured by ratio fluorometry with FURA-2AM. These results indicate that ginsenosides have a homeostatic effect on glutamate neurotransmission, and there is a structure-function relationship among the ginsenosides tested.

When the reaction rate constant k of phospholipase D on liposome was measured by the ANS fluorometry, k of phospholipase D on DMPC liposome which was made of L-$\alpha$-PI, cholesterol and L-$\alpha$-PS decreased than that of phospholipase D on DMPC liposome with cholesterol or with PI and cholesterol. Optimal $Ca^{2+}$ concentration, the most important factor on effect of phospholipase D, also decreased to 1mM, as compared with 10mM and 60mM respectively when cholesterol and PI were added, and cholesterol only was added. The change of cholesterol Mol% had a great influence on k value of phospholipase D. But in case of addition of L-$\alpha$-PS to cholesterol, the influence was relatively diminished.

A sensitive fluorometric method using 9-fluorenylmethyl pentafluorophenyl carbonate (FMPC) as the fluorescent labeling agent was developed to determine D-penicillamine (D-PA). The fluorophore had excitation and emission wavelengths of 260 nm and 313 nm, respectively. After derivatization, the fluorescent product was separated, and quantified by spectrofluorometry. The derivative was highly fluorescent and stable. Optimum condition for the reaction was investigated. A linear response was obtained over the range of $4.0{\times}10^{-7}-5.0{\times}10{-6}\;M$ with the correlation coefficient of 0.999 (n=6). The procedure described was successfully applied to the determination of the dosage forms of capsule with the recovery of $98.62{\pm}0.57%$ (150 mg), $98.36{\pm}0.57%$, (250 mg).

An analytical applicability of the fluorescence detection with an optical multichannel analyzer to organic dyes was studied in this work. Continuous acquisition of spectra was possible with the use of a microcomputer. The maximum acquisition rate of a spetrum with 70-point average was about 3 seconds. Floppy discs were used to store data for later use in processing. Laser induced fluorescence detector in High Performance Liquid Chromatography was chosen for an application. Fluorescein below $10^{-15}g$ was detected satisfactorily using this system. With the help of microcomputer, three dimensional chromatograms of time-wavelength-intensity were obtained.

Effects of TCDD and flavonoids on ethoxyresorufin deethylase in Hepa I cells and MCF-7 human breast cancer cells were examined. TCDD treatment have resulted in the stimulation of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity based on fluorometry in Hepa I in dose and time dependent manner. 0.1 nM TCDD showed maximal stimulation of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity and 24 hour treatment also showed maximal stimulation of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity. In MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, untreated cells showed high basal level of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity. TCDD treatment to MCF-7 cells resulted minor stimulation of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity compared to that in Hepa I cells. Various chemicals were tested for ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity in both cell lines. Flavonoids, such as quercetin showed an inhibition of ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity that is stimulated with TCDD or 3-Methylcholanthrene. Estrogen and estrogen metabolites such as 16a-estriol also affects the ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity in MCF-7 cells.
