알칼리성 세균으로부터 ammonium fumarate를 이용하여 글루탐산을 생성할 수 있는 균주를 분리, 동정하였으며, 글루탐산 생성에 미치는 여러가지 요인들과 생성기전에 관하여 조사하였다. 선택된 균주는 형태, 성질 등에서 Bacillus brevis와 유사하였다. 여러가지 배양조건 중에서 2% fumaric acid에 0.8% nutrient broth 를 첨가하고 암모니아수로 pH를 9로 조절한 배지에서 글루탐산 생성이 가장 좋았으며, 1% fumaric acid로부터 글루탐산으로의 전환율은 약 22%였다. 생성기전을 알아보기 위한 실험에서 whole cell을 이용하였을 때 ammonium fumarate로부터 글루탐산 생성을 볼 수 있었으며, $\alpha$-ketoglutaric acid와 aspartic acid 가 포함된 반응액에서 glutamic acid 생성과 aspartic acid 소실을 동시에 볼 수 있었다. 따라서 생성기전은 fumaric acid가 aspartic acid로 전환되고, aspartic acid와 $\alpha$-KGA가 반응하여 glutamic acid가 생성되는 것으로 추정된다.

Bioconversion of fumarate to succinate was anaerobically conduced in a synthetic medium containing glycerol as a hydrogen donor and fumarate as a hydrogen acceptor. We investigated the effects of pH, carbon and nitrogen sources, conversion substrate, and other culture conditions on the production of succinate using a nwely isoloated Enterococcus facalis PKY1. Addition of a variety of carbonates to the medium significantly increasd the rates of production of succinate. The production of succinate and cell growth were relatively satisfactory in the pH range of 7.0-7.6. By using glycerol as a hydrogen donor, high purity succinate was produced with few byproducts. Yeast extract as a sole nitrogen source was the most effective for producing succinalte. As a result, the optimum condition of biconversion was obtained at a medium containing 20g/I glycerol, 50 g/l fumarate, 15 g/l yeast extract, 10 g/l $K_2HPO_4$, 1 g/I NaCl, 50ppm $MgCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$, 10ppm $FeSo_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, and 5 g/I $Na_2CO_3$ at pH 7.0-7.6. Under the optimum condition, a succinate concentration of 153 g/I was produced in 36 h. The total volumetric production rate and the molar yield of succinate were 4.3 g/l/h and 85%, respectively.

Two in vitro experiments were conducted to examine the effects of propionate precursors in the dicarboxylic acid pathway on ruminal fermentatation characteristics, $CH_4$ production and degradation of feed by rumen microbes. Fumarate or malate as sodium salts (Exp. 1) or acid type (Exp. 2) were added to the culture solution (150 ml, 50% strained rumen fluid and 50% artificial saliva) to achieve final concentrations of 0, 8, 16 and 24 mM, and incubated anaerobically for 0, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 h at $39^{\circ}C$. For both experiments, two grams of feed consisting of 70% concentrate and 30% ground alfalfa (DM basis) were prepared in a nylon bag, and were placed in a bottle containing the culture solution. Addition of fumarate or malate in both sodium salt and acid form increased (p<0.0001) pH of culture solution at 3, 6, 9 and 12 h incubations. The pH (p<0.0001) and total volatile fatty acids (VFA, p<0.05) were enhanced by these precursors as sodium salt at 3, 6 and 9 h incubations, and pH (p<0.001) and total VFA (p<0.01) from fumarate or malate in acid form were enhanced at a late stage of fermentation (9 h and 12 h) as the addition level increased. pH was higher (p<0.001) for fumarate than for malate as sodium salt at 3 h and 6 h incubations. Propionate ($C_3$) proportion was increased (p<0.0001) but those of $C_2$ (p<0.05) and $C_4$ (p<0.01 - p<0.001) were reduced by the addition of sodium salt precursors from 3 h to 12 incubation times while both precursors in acid form enhanced (p<0.011 - p<0.0001) proportion of $C_3$ from 6h but reduced (p<0.018 - p<0.0005) $C_4$ proportion at incubation times of 1, 3, 9 and 12 h. Proportion of $C_3$ was increased (p<0.05 - p<0.0001) at all incubation times by both precursors as sodium salt while that of $C_3$ was increased (p<0.001) from 6h but $C_4$ proportion was decreased by both precursors in acid form as the addition level increased. Proportion of $C_3$ was higher (p<0.01 - p<0.001) for fumarate than malate as sodium salt from 6 h incubation but was higher for malate than fumarate in acid form at 9 h (p<0.05) and 12 h (p<0.01) incubation times. Increased levels (16 and 24 mM) of fumarate or malate as sodium salt (p<0.017) and both precursors in acid form (p<0.028) increased the total gas production, but no differences were found between precursors in both chemical types. Propionate precursors in both chemical types clearly reduced (p<0.0001 - p<0.0002) $CH_4$ production, and the reduction (p<0.001 - p<0.0001) was dose dependent as the addition level of precursors increased. The $CH_4$ generated was smaller (p<0.01 - p<0.0001) for fumarate than for malate in both chemical types. Addition of fumarate or malate as sodium type reduced (p<0.004) dry matter degradation while both precursors in both chemical types slightly increased neutral detergent fiber degradability of feed in the nylon bag.

An in vitro study was conducted to investigate the effect of malate or fumarate on fermentation characteristics, and production of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and methane ($CH_4$) by rumen microbes when incubated with linolenic acid (${\alpha}-C_{18:3}$). Sixty milligrams of ${\alpha}-C_{18:3}$ alone (LNA), or ${\alpha}-C_{18:3}$ with 24 mM malic acid (M-LNA) or ${\alpha}-C_{18:3}$ with 24 mM fumaric acid (F-LNA) were added to the 150 ml culture solution consisting of 75 ml strained rumen fluid and 75ml McDougall's artificial saliva. Culture solution for incubation was also made without malate, fumarate and ${\alpha}-C_{18:3}$ (Control). Two grams of feed consisting of 70% concentrate and 30% ground alfalfa (DM basis) were also added to the culture solution of each treatment. In vitro incubation was made anaerobically in a shaking incubator up to 12 h at $39^{\circ}C$. Supplementation of malate (M-LNA) or fumarate (F-LNA) increased pH at 6 h (p<0.01) and 12 h (p<0.001) incubation times compared to control and linolenic acid (LNA) treatments. Both malate and fumarate did not influence the ammonia-N concentration. Concentration of total VFA in culture solution was higher for M-LNA and F-LNA supplementation than for control and LNA treatments from 6 h (p<0.040) to 12 h (p<0.027) incubation times, but was not different between malate and fumarate for all incubation times. Molar proportion of $C_3$ was increased by F-LNA and M-LNA supplementation from 6 h (p<0.0001) to 12 h (p<0.004) incubation times compared to control and LNA treatments. No differences in $C_{3}$ proportion, however, were observed between M-LNA and F-LNA treatments. Accumulated total gas production for 12h incubation was increased (p<0.0002) by M-LNA or F-LNA compared to control or LNA treatment. Accumulated $CH_4$ production for 12 h incubation, however, was greatly reduced (p<0.0002) by supplementing malate or fumarate compared to the control, and its production from M-LNA or F-LNA treatment was smaller than that from LNA treatment. Methane production from LNA, M-LNA or F-LNA treatment was steadily lower (p<0.01 - p<0.001) from 3 h incubation time than that from the control, and was also lower for M-LNA or F-LNA treatment at incubation times of 6 h (p<0.01) and 9 h (p<0.001) than for LNA treatment. Methane production from LNA, however, was reduced (p<0.01 - p<0.001) from 3 h to 9 h incubation times compared to the control. Both malate and fumarate increased concentration of trans11-$C_{18:1}$ from 3 h to 12 h incubation (p<0.01), cis9,trans11-CLA up to 6 h incubation (p<0.01 - p<0.01), trans10,cis12-CLA at 3 h (p<0.05) and 12 h (p<0.01), and total CLA for all incubation times (p<0.05) compared to corresponding values for the ${\alpha}-C_{18:3}$ supplemented treatment (LNA). In conclusion, malate and fumarate rechanneled the metabolic $H_2 pathway to production of propionate and CLA, and depressed the process of biohydrogenation and methane generation. Linolenic acid alone would also be one of the optimistic alternatives to suppress the $CH_4$ generation.

Highly hydrophobic lubricants including magnesium stearate may hinder water penetration into the tablet core resulting in delayed disintegration of fast disintegrating tablets. Alternative lubricants with equivalent lubricating properties may need to be incorporated into the tablet formulations. Sodium stearyl fumarate, glyceryl behenate and polyethylene glycol were evaluated regarding the tablet ejection energy, mechanical strength and disintegration time using Texture analyzer (TA). Resulting tablets were also compared with different particle sizes of granules and various compression forces. Among the tested lubricants, sodium stearyl fumarate was less sensitive to mixing time and also showed better or competitive tablet properties. During the experiments, TA was found to be very useful tool to investigate the tablet properties.

In order to reduce gastric irritation in the stomach of iron preparations, ferroglycine fumarate (FGF) granules coated with hydroxyethylcellulose was made by matrix granulator, and the constrained optimization method, employing the Lagrange equation, was successfully applied to the manufacturing process design of controlled release tablets. The effects of stearic acid and dried corn starch on tablet hardness, friability, dissolution rate $t_{50%}$ and tablet volume were found to be very significant. In rabbit test, pharmacokinetic parameters $(K_a,\;C_{max}\;and\;AUC^{0-12})$ and urinary excretion rate $(K_e)$ of the controlled release FGF tablets were higher than those of controlled release ferroglycine sulfate tablets which were manufactured in the same optimal conditions. Controlled release FGF tablets were more stable than controlled release ferroglycine sulfate tablets in accelerated storage conditions.

The effect of dimethyl maleate on the rate of thermolysis of 3,4,5,6-Tetrachlorobenzene-2-Diazo-1-Oxide in 1-chloronaphthalene at $130.2^{\circ}$ was investigated: In a separate experiment, the effect of dimethyl fumarate upon the same reaction at the same temperature was investigated. The rate of thermolysis was decreased by dimethyl maleate, while dimethyl fumarate accelerated the reaction. Some kinetic parameters of the thermolysis of 3,4,5,6-Tetrachlorobenzene-2-Diazo-1-Oxide were calculated. A mechanism of isomerization of dimethyl maleate to dimethyl fumarate by 3,4,5,6-Tetrachlorobenzene-2-Diazo-1-Oxide was proposed.

The kinetic mechanism of Hafnia alvei aspartase in the amination direction has been determined in the absence of metal. The initial velocity pattern obtained by varying the concentration of fumarate at several fixed concentrations of NH4+ , shows an intersection on the left of the ordinate at pH 7.0, indicating that the kinetic mechanism is a sequential mechanism in which substrate inhibition by fumarate is observed. The dead-end inhibition pattern by varying the concentration of NH4+ at several fixed concentration of succinate shows an intersection on the left of the ordinate. These data are consistent with random addition of NH4+, or fumarate. The Haldane relationship gives a Keq of 1.18 ${\times}$10-3 M at pH 7.0, which is in agreement with the values obtained from the direct determination of reaction concentrations at equilibrium (6.0 $\pm0.2$ ${\times}$10-3 M).

본 연구에서는 제지슬러지소각재(PSA)와 세 가지 킬레이트제(fumarate, IDA, EDTA)를 가지고 간접탄산화에 의해 이산화탄소를 저장하고 탄산칼슘을 생성하는 실험을 진행하였다. Fumarate와 IDA를 용제로 사용하면 간접탄산화반응이 촉진되어 물을 사용했을 때보다 더 많은 양의 이산화탄소를 저장하였다. 0.1 M 농도의 fumarate와 IDA를 사용했을 때, 이산화탄소 저장량은 각각 63, $89kg-CO_2/ton-PSA$이었고, 탄산칼슘 생성량은 각각 144, $202kg-CaCO_3/ton-PSA$이었다. 그러나 EDTA를 용제로 사용한 경우에는 탄산화반응이 거의 진행되지 않았다. PSA로부터 칼슘용출효율은 킬레이트제의 농도가 높고 Ca-ligand 안정화상수가 클수록 증가하였다. 또한 탄산화효율도 Ca-ligand 안정화상수의 영향을 받았다. Ca-ligand 안정화상수가 클수록 P SA로부터 더 많은 칼슘이 용출되었지만, 이 값이 탄산칼슘의 안정화상수($10^{8.35}$)보다 크면 탄산화반응이 진행되기 어려웠다.

Fumaria indica Linn. (Syn: Fumaria parviflora, Fumariaceae) is a wildly grown weed, mentioned and recommended in classical Ayurvedic texts for treatments of variety of ailments including dermatological diseases, topical diseases, cardiovascular complaints, circulatory disease, fever and headache etc. The present pilot study was designed to experimentally verify the possibility that fumarates are the major bioactive principles of Fumaria indica extracts involved in their stress response modulating activities, and to estimate pharmacologicallyactive dose ranges of fumarates and standardized methanolic extract of Fumaria indica (MFI). Effect of single, 5 and 10 daily oral doses of pure fumaric acid (FA), monomethyl fumarate (MMF), dimethyl fumarate (DMF) and MFI was quantified in well validated rodent models viz. apomorphine induced cage climbing, stress induced hyperthermia, and elevated plus-maze tests. Obtained results reveal high efficacy of MFI and pure fumarates possess qualitatively analogous activity profiles in all the three tests. There were no significant difference in the potencies of pure FA, MMF and DMF in the three tests, whereas efficacy of MFI in the elevated plus maze test for anxiolytics was higher than in the other two tests. Efficacies of all the four test agents in all the three tests increased with increasing number of days of oral treatments. Results of these pilot experiments should be helpful for more rational selections of pharmacologically interesting dose ranges and treatment regimens of fumarates and Fumaria indica extracts for further more holistic explorations of their diverse therapeutic potentials.
