Semiconductive property of the passivating $TiO_2$ film was investigated by measuring the impedance of passivated titanium electrode in a 0.1 N NaOH solution. The passive film was prepared galvanostatically with $10mA/cm^2$ at formation potential of 50 V in a 1 N $H_2SO_4$ solution. The impedance measurement was conducted by superimposing an ac voltage of 5 m V amplitude with the frequency ranging from 5 to 10000 Hz on a dc bias (applied potential). The donor distribution in the film was depicted from the analysis of the non-linear slope of Mott-Schottky plot. The region with nearly constant concentration of donors near the electrolyte/film interface amounts at about 60 percent of the total film thickness and donor concentration increases largely with distance from the surface in an inner region near the film/metal interface. In a region of the film/metal interface the donor concentration showed a frequency dependence greater than in a region of the electrolyte/film interface. The result of donor concentration against frequency suggests a transition from crystalline to amorphous state with distance from the electrolyte/film interface in the passivating $TiO_2$ films. This is also confirmed by the ac conductivity measurement.

Novel binol aldehydes derivatized at 2' hydroxy position with both uryl and acetamide groups (2), and diuryl groups (3) have been synthesized. Both were designed for streospecific binding and chirality conversion of general dipeptides with support of multiple hydrogen bonding donor sites in the receptors. The receptors, 2 and 3, converted the chirality of N-terminal amino acids of peptides such as Ala-Gly, Met-Gly, Leu-Gly and His-Gly with stereoselectivity on D-form over L-form. The stereoselectivity ratios were in the range of 5-11, somewhat higher than those of the binol receptor with mono uryl group (1). The DFT calculation at the B3LYP/6-31G$^*$//MPWB1K/6-31G$^*$ level revealed that 3-D-Ala-Gly was 2.2 kcal/mol more stable than 3-L-Ala-Gly. The considerable steric hindrance between the methyl group of the alanine and the imine CH moiety of the receptor seems to be the main contributing factor for the thermodynamic preference.

본 연구의 목적은 열안정성을 향상시키는 첨가제 (열안정제)를 이용하여 exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (exo-THDCP, $C_{10}H_{16}$)의 열안정성을 향상시키는 것이다. 실험 중 실시간으로 추출한 시료를 gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)를 이용해 성분 분석하여 첨가제 성능-exo-THDCP의 열분해성-을 확인하고, 반응시간에 따른 exo-THDCP의 분해생성물의 성분 및 조성 변화를 통해 첨가제의 작용 메커니즘을 규명하였다. 열안정제로써 수소공여체를 사용하여 실험한 결과 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (THQ), benzyl alcohol (BnOH) 등을 첨가하였을 때 exo-THDCP의 열안정성이 향상되었다. 이러한 수소공여체 물질들은 개시반응이 진행된 exo-THDCP 라디칼에 수소원자(hydrogen radical)를 제공함으로 라디칼의 반응성을 완화시켜 1차 생성물의 활성을 감소시키어 2차생성물질인 $C_{11}$이상 생성물의 발생을 감소시키는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

Hydrothermal reaction of zinc(II) salts with 5-sulfoisophthalic acid monosodium salt ($NaO_3SC_6H_3$-1,3-(COOH)$_2$, $NaH_2$-SIP) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) led to two new compounds, [Zn(phen)$_3$$\cdot2H_2SIP\cdot4H_2O$ (1) and [Zn(phen)$_2(H_2O)_2]\cdot2H_2SIP\cdot2H_2O$ (2). They were characterized by element analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermalgravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both compounds 1-2 represent the first example of Zn/phen/SIP system. The Zn (II) ion in 1 is six-coordinated by six nitrogen atoms from three phen molecules, and the $H_2SIP^-$ ligands engage in the formation of hydrogen bond. The Zn(II) ion in 2 is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms from two phen molecules and two oxygen atoms from two water molecules. Moreover, both 1 and 2 are assembled into 3D supramolecular architectures by hydrogen bonds (O-H$\ldots$O) and $\pi-\pi$ interactions. Solvent water molecules occupying voids of the compounds serve as receptors or donors of the extensive O-H$\ldots$O hydrogen bonds.

본 연구의 목적은 열안정성을 향상시키는 첨가제 (열안정제)를 이용하여 exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (exo-THDCP, $C_{10}H_{16}$)의 열안정성을 향상시키는 것이다. 실험은 반응 진행 중 미량의 시료 추출이 가능한 회분식 반응기에서 수행되었다. 추출한 시료를 gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)를 이용해 성분 분석하여 첨가제 성능-exo-THDCP의 열분해성-을 확인하고, 반응시간에 따른 exo-THDCP의 분해생성물의 성분 및 조성 변화를 통해 첨가제의 작용 메커니즘을 규명하였다. 열안정제로써 수소공여체를 사용하여 실험한 결과 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (THQ), benzyl alcohol (BnOH) 등을 첨가하였을 때 exo-THDCP의 열안정성이 향상되었다. 이러한 수소공여체 물질들은 개시반응이 진행된 exo-THDCP 라디칼에 수소원자 (hydrogen radical)를 제공함으로 라디칼의 반응성을 완화시켜 1차 생성물의 활성을 감소시키어 2차생성물질인 $C_{11}$ 이상 생성물의 발생을 감소시키는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

Human vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (hVEGFR2) is an important signaling protein involved in angiogenesis and attractive drug target in cancer therapy. It has been reported that flavonols, a class of flavonoids, have anti-angiogenic activity in various cancer cell lines. We performed receptor-oriented pharmacophore based in silico screening for identification of hVEGFR2 inhibitors from flavonol database. By comparing with three X-ray complex structures of hVEGFR2 and its inhibitors, we evaluated the specific interactions between inhibitors and receptors and determined a single pharmacophore map. This map consisted of four features, a hydrogen bonding acceptor (HBA) on Cys917, two hydrogen bonding donors on Glu917 (HBD1) and Glu883 (HBD2), and one hydrophobic interaction (Lipo) with Val846, Ala864, Val897, Val914 and Phe1045 of hVEGFR2. Using this map, we searched a flavonol database including 9 typical flavonols and proposed that five flavonols, kaempferol, quercetin, fisetin, morin, and rhamnetin can be potent inhibitors of hVEGFR2. 3-OH of C-ring and 4’-OH of B-ring of flavonols are the essential features for hVEGFR2 inhibition. This study will be helpful for understanding the mechanism of inhibition of hVEGFR2 by natural products.

본 연구에서는 접촉식 가수열분해 반응을 이용하여 원유를 감압증류한 후 생산되는 고점도의 감압잔사유(VR)의 개질반응을 실시하였다. 감압잔사유는 30 bar, $300^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 24 h 동안 수증기(steam)와 반응하면, 구성성분 중에서 레진류와 아스팔텐류가 감소하고, 포화탄화수소류(saturates)나 방향족탄화수소류(aromatics)가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이때 스팀 양이 적은 경우에는 가수열분해 반응 후 아스팔텐 함량이 증가되는 역반응 효과도 관측되었다. 수소공여제인 데칼린을 사용하며 메탈옥사이드-제올라이트계 촉매를 사용하는 접촉식 가수열분해 반응 결과 레진과 아스팔텐류가 10% 정도 줄고 방향족 탄화수소류가 10% 증가하면서 점도 감소효과도 70% 정도로 우수하였다. GC-Mass spectroscopy를 이용하여 촉매 사용 시 가수열분해 반응 결과 분자량이 적은 물질로의 분해효과가 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Objectives : Oryeong-san was composed of Alismatis Rhizoma, Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba, Poria Sclerotium, Polyporus, Cinnamomi Cortex, and known to have hundreds of chemical compounds. The aim of this study was to screen chemical compounds constituting Oryeong-san with the drug-likeness and oral bioavailability from the analysis of their physicochemical properties. Methods : A list of chemical compounds of Oryeong-san was obtained from TM-MC(database of medicinal materials and chemical compounds in Northeast Asian traditional medicine). To remove redundant compounds, the SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System) strings of each compound were identified. All of the physicochemical properties for the compounds were calculated using the DruLiTo(Drug Likeness Tool). Drug-likeness was estimated by QED(Quantitative Estimate of Druglikeness) and OB(Oral bioavailability) was checked based on the Veber's rules. Results : A total of 475 compounds were obtained by eliminating duplication among 544 compounds of 5 medicinal materials. Analysis of the physicochemical properties revealed that the most common values were MW(molecular weight) 200~300 g/mol, ALOGP(octanol-water partition coefficient) 1~2, HBA(number of hydrogen bond acceptors) 0~1, HBD(number of hydrogen bond donors) 0, PSA(polar surface area) 0~50 angstrom, ROTB(number of rotatable bonds) 1, AROM(number of aromatic rings) 0, and ALERT(number of structural alerts) 1. QED had 93% of the values between 0.2 and 0.7, and OB had 90% of the value of TRUE. Conclusions : We in this paper screened the candidate active compounds of Oryeong-san using the QED and Veber's rules. In the future, we will use the screening results to analyze the mechanism of Oryeong-san based on systems pharmacology.

New receptors 1-3 that bind stereoselectively amino alcohols and convert chirality of amino acidsvia imine bond formation were synthesized. The receptors have uryl (1), thiouryl (2) and guanidinium (3) groups all with additional phenylcarbonyl motifs, which are effective hydrogen bonding donors and play a key role in the stereoselective recognitions. The stereoselectivities were measured from the integration of $^1HNMR$ peaks. Compound 1 and 2 showed the stereoselectivities for the imine formation with amino alcohols ($K_R/K_S$) in the range of 2${\sim}$4, and compound 3 in the range of 4${\sim}$8. Chirality conversion efficienciesof 1-3 for amino acids, i.e. D/L ratio at equilibrium, are in the range of 1.5${\sim}$5.6, showing a little higher efficiency with 3. The additional phenylcarbonyl motifs in 1-3 were revealed not to contribute to significant enhancement of the selectivities.

Preconceptual sex selection is still a highly debatable process whereby X- and Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa are isolated prior to fertilization of the oocyte. Although various separation techniques are available, none can guarantee 100% accuracy. The aim of this study was to separate X- and Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa using methods based on the viability difference between the X- and Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa. A total of 18 experimental semen samples were used, written consent was obtained from all donors and results were analysed in a blinded fashion. Spermatozoa were exposed to different pH values (5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, and 9.5), increased temperatures ($37^{\circ}C$, $41^{\circ}C$, and $45^{\circ}C$) and ROS level ($50{\mu}M$, $750{\mu}M$, and $1,000{\mu}M$). The live and dead cell separation was done through a modified swim-up technique. Changes in the sex-chromosome ratio of samples were established by double-label fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) before and after processing. The results indicated successful enrichment of X-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa upon incubation in acidic media, increased temperatures, and elevated $H_2O_2$. This study demonstrated the potential role for exploring the physiological differences between X-and Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa in the development of preconceptual gender selection.
