Angiogenesis is essential for the growth and persistence of solid tumors. Their metastases, anti-angiogenesis could lead to the suppression of tumor growth. One of the main strategies of cancer treatment is developing molecules of anti-angiogenic activity. In this study, two angiogenic inhibitors, Ang3 (KLFDF) and Ang4 (XLFDF) derived from KLYDY, which is the sequence of angiostatin active sites kringle 5, were designed and synthesized. Previously we reported the activities and structures of two inhibitors, Ang1 (KLYDY) and Ang2 (KLWDF). In order to investigate the effect of Phe substitution, Ang3 was designed with a sequence of KLFDF. In order to reduce conformational flexibility of side chain in Lys, Ang4 was designed with a sequence of XLFDF, where X has amino substituted phenyl ring. Solution structures of those inhibitors were investigated using NMR spectroscopy and their activities as angiogenesis inhibitors were studied. Ang1 and Ang2 show angiogenic activities, while Ang3 and Ang4 have no activities and have extended structures compared to Ang1 and Ang2. Therefore, Phe rings do not have effective hydrophobic interactions with other aromatic residues in Ang3 and Ang4. The representative structure of Ang2 has a stable intramolecular hydrogen bond. Therefore, intramolecular hydrogen bonding might be more important in stabilizing the structure than the hydrophobic interactions in these inhibitors. More rigid structure, which can be expected to have higher activities and better match with the receptor bound conformations, can be obtained with a constrained cyclic structure. Further peptidomimetic approaches should be tried to develop angiogenesis inhibitors.

Association is an important contribution to the overall hydrogen bonding in surfactant systems, especially in systems of colloidal and biological interest. Amphiphile systems, especially micelle and microemulsion systems, showed highly non-ideal behavior due to the intermolecular association and intramolecular association. The objective of this research is to present a lattice fluid equation of state that combines the quasi-chemical nonrandom lattice fluid model with modified Veytsman statistics for intra + inter molecular association to calculate phase behavior for mixture containing surfactant systems. The present EOS could correlate the literature data well for mixtures containing nonionic surfactant systems.

The tautomerism in 3-phenyl-4-arylazo-5-isoxazolones 1 was examined by $^1H-NMR$ spectra of $^15N-labeled$ compound and by HMO method. Both spectra data $(^1H-NMR\;and\;IR)$ and bonding energies are in support of the assignment of the hydrazone structure to such compounds. It is further shown that intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bondings favor the hydrazone tautomer.

In a continuous study for the developing of the anticariogenic agents, 3,3'-diacyl-4,4'-biphenol derivatives (Fig. 2, 2 and 3) and 3,3'-bis-(1-hydroxyalkyl)-4,4'-biphenol (Fig. 3, 4 and 5) derivatives are synthesized successively from 4,4'-diphenol (Fig. 2, 1). The synthesized compounds are tested for their antibacterial activity against a cariogenic bacterium, Streptococcus mutans OMZ 176. The acyl derivatives, 2 and 3, do not show antibacterial activity, but the hydroxyalkyl derivatives, 4 and 5, reduced from the acyl group of 2 and 3, show the activity. The antibacterial activity of 2 and 3 may be inhibited due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the acyl group and the hydroxyl one (Fig. 4).

Several ABCH type chiral calix[4]arenes were prepared from monoalkyl calix[4]arenes by treating with various acyl halide, followed by reacting with benzoyl chloride in pyridine. These asymmetrically substituted ABCH type calix[4]arenes are obtained as racemates mixture which are confirmed by the chiral shift reagent in 1H NMR spectra. The molecular and crystal structure of 5-nitro-26-allyloxy-25-benzoyloxy-28-isobutyryloxy-27-hydroxycalix[4]arene 8a has been determined by the X-ray diffraction method. Two independent enantiomeric molecules are crystallized in a 1: 1 racemate mixture. They are in the partial cone conformation in which the benzoyloxy phenyl group is down. There is a bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bonding involving three functional groups in each molecule.

The crystal structure of $N-({\alpha}-dimethyl\;{\beta}-hydroxy)ethyl\;N'-cyclohexyl\;thiourea,\;C_{ll}H_{22}N_2OS)$, has been determined by X-ray diffraction method. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 10.33(3), b = 11.82(3), c = 22.57(4)${\AA}$ and Z = 8. A total of 1414 observed reflections collected by the Weissenberg photographs and was solved by heavy atom method and refined by block diagonal least-squares methods to the R value of 0.13. The cyclohexane ring has a normal chair conformation and the thiourea unit is planar. The primary alcoholic group O-H bonded to C(l) makes an intramolecular hydrogen bond with N(2), which leads to stablize the molecule. There are two independent hydrogen bonds in the structure. One of them is of the type N-H${\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}$O intramolecular hydrogen bond with the length 2.71${\AA}$, another is of the type O-H${\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}$S intermolecular hydrogen bond with the length 3.21${\AA}$ parallel to the b axis. Apart from the hydrogen bonding system the molecules are held together by van der Waals forces in the crystal.

A new Nl-pentenyl derivative of pyrimidines has been synthesized by an intramolecular (2+2) photocycloaddition and characterized by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The compound crystallizes in the rhombohedral system (R3, a=27.767(5)A c=6.390(2)A). In this structure, two 6-membered rings and a 4-membered ring are fused by the N-N or N-C bonds and the Tyidin Part adouts chair conformation. A pair of molecules related by an inversion center we held together through the hydrogen bonding interactions between N and O atoms of the uracil miety.

A series of azo disperse dyes having dicyanovinyl groups was synthesized by the Knoevenagel condensation with malononitrile from carbonyl substituted phenylazo disperse dyes which were prepared by conventional diazo coupling reaction of aniline derivatives as diazo components. A variety of coupling components such as anilines, an indole and a pyridone were used. The azo disperse dyes were evaluated for their spectral properties and dyeing assessment on the polyester fabrics. The azo disperse dyes containing dicyanovinyl groups showed bathochromic shifts and darker colors due to increased electron withdrawing strength in their azo components and extended conjugation by dicyanovinyl groups than their parent carbonyl substituted azo dyes. The dyes containing 2-acetylamino-5-methoxy substituent in the coupling component exhibited higher wavelength of maximum absorbance (${\lambda}_{max}$) and significant negative solvatochromism than those of other dyes due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

The effects of $\alpha$- and $\beta$-cyclodextrins (CD) on the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) behavior of p-N,N'-dimethylaminobenzoic acid (DMABA) in buffered aqueous solution have been investigated by examining formation and decay behaviors of the TICT-typical dual fluorescence. The ratio of the TICT emission to the normal emission (I$_a$/I$_b$) increases linearly $\alpha$-CD concentration increases, while in the presence of $\beta$-CD it shows nonlinear dependences on the CD concentration. The analysis of the CD-dependent changes of the I$_a$/I$_b$ and absorption spectra demonstrates formation of 1:1 inclusion complexes between DMABA and CDs. The decay time of the normal emission (ca. 700 ps) is little affected by the formation of $\alpha$-CD inclusion complex, whereas it increases upto ca. 1.6 ns upon formation of $\beta$-CD inclusion complex. The TICT emission for the $\beta$-CD inclusion complex exhibits two decay components while it shows a single component for the $\alpha$-CD inclusion complex, indicating formation of one or two types of inclusion complex in the presence of $\alpha$-CD or $\beta$-CD, respectively. These results are attributed to the CD cavity size dependence on patterns of complexation between CDs and DMABA. The CD size dependences of the TICT fluorescence properties with the orientation of the guest molecule demonstrate that the specific hydrogen bonding between the carboxylic acid group and water plays an important role in the excited-state TICT.

Succinic acid is of interested as the raw material of biodegradable polymer. In this study, succinic acid was separated by reactive extraction using amine extractants such as TOA (trioctylamine) and Aliquat 336. The extractability of TOA for succinic acid was higher than that of Aliquat 336. The distribution of succinic acid into organic phase was decreased with increasing pH in aqueous phase. However, the effect of pH on the extractability of Aliquat 336 was little. In the case of maleic acid which has similar structure to succinic acid, the extractability for maleic acid was higher than that for succinic acid. It was mainly due to the difficulty of deprotonation of second carboxylic group by intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
