New seventeen imazapyr derivatives, 2-(4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-imidazolin-2-yl)-3-(N-methyl-N-X(sub.)-phenylaminooxoacetyl)pyridine, 6 were synthesized and their pre-emergence herbicidal activity$(pI_{50})$ in vivo against Corn (Zea mays L.) and Pigweed (Amaranthus viridis L.) were studied by the pot test under paddly conditions. Quantitative structure activity relationships (QSARs) were analyzed using the physicochemical parameters of substituent(X) on the phenyl ring of 3-(N-methyl-N-X(sub.)-phenylaminooxoacetyl) group and regression analysis. The herbicidal activities were related to the steric effect of X-substituent. The effect was rationalized by paraholic function of MR and $L_1$, where the optimal values were MR=5.56 (Zea mays L.) and $L_1=3.34\;{{\AA}}$ (Amaranthus viridis L.). Among them, 2,5-difluoro substituted compound, 6i showed good herbicidal activity against Pigweed with excellent tolerance to Corn.

In this study, the pervaporation separation characteristics were investigated for the iso-propyl alcohol (IPA)-water system using PDMS dense membranes. The ratio, 9:1 and 10:1, of the basic material based on RTV-655 and crosslinking agent were used to prepare dense membranes at the reaction temperatures, 40, 60, and $80^{\circ}C$. And these resulting membranes were characterized by pervaporation technique in terms of permeabilities and separation factors for the feed composition of IPA 85 wt% at the operating temperatures, 25, 35, 45, and $55^{\circ}C$. Typical results of permeabilities $148g/m^2{\cdot}hr$ at $55^{\circ}C$ for 9:1 membrane and the selectivity 17 at $55^{\circ}C$ for 10:1 membrane were obtained, respectively.

The structure of cis-(malonato)[(4R,5R)-4,5-bis(aminomethyl)-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane]platinum(II) with a potent anticancer activity has been determined by the X-ray crystallographic method. Crystal data are as follows: Pt(C/sub 11/H/sub 20/N₂O/sub 6/), M/sub 4/=471.38, monoclinic, P2₁, a=7.112(1), b=33.615(3), c=7.135(1)Å, β=116.80(1)°, V=1522.6(3)Å, and Z=4. The two independent molecules with very similar structures are approximately related by pseudo two-fold screw axis symmetry, which makes the monolinic cell look like the orthorhombic cell with one molecule in the asymmetric unit and space group C222₁. The crystal packing mode is similar to that of the analogue with the dimethyl substituents instead of the isopropyl group. The Pt atom is coordinate to two O and two N atoms in a square planar structure. The six-membered chelate ring in the leaving ligand assumes a conformation intermediate between the half chair and the boat forms. The seven-membered ring in the carrier ligand assumes a twist-chair conformation and the oxolane ring assumes an envelope conformation. Crystal packing consists of the extensive hydrogen-bonding network in the two-dimensional molecular layers and weak van der Waals interactions between these layers.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern recognition receptors that recognize molecular structures derived from microbes and initiate innate immunity. TLRs have two downstream signaling pathways, the MyD88- and TRIF-dependent pathways. Dysregulated activation of TLRs is closely linked to increased risk of many chronic diseases. Previously, we synthesized fumaryl pyrrolidinone, (E)-isopropyl 4-oxo-4-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)-2-butenoate (IPOP), which contains a fumaric acid isopropyl ester and pyrrolidinone, and demonstrated that it inhibits the activation of nuclear factor kappa B by inhibiting the MyD88-dependent pathway of TLRs. However, the effect of IPOP on the TRIF-dependent pathway remains unknown. Here, we report the effect of IPOP on signal transduction via the TRIF-dependent pathway of TLRs. IPOP inhibited lipopolysaccharide- or polyinosinic-polycytidylic acidinduced interferon regulatory factor 3 activation, as well as interferon-inducible genes such as interferon inducible protein-10. These results suggest that IPOP can modulate the TRIF-dependent signaling pathway of TLRs, leading to decreased inflammatory gene expression.

Recently, we have reported that 2-bromopropane might have an immunotoxic potential in rats when exposed for 28 days. In the present studies, the possibility of 2i-deoxyguanosine abduct formation by 2- bromopropane was investigated in vitro to elucidate molecular mechanism of 2-bromopropane-induced immunosuppression. $N^7-Guanine adduct$ of 2'-bromopropane (i.e., $N^7-isopropyl$ guanine) was chemically synthesized and structurally characterized by analysis of UV,$^1H-NMR,{\;}^{13}C-NMR$, COSY and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry to use as a reference material. Incubation of 2'-deoxyguanosine with an excess amount of 2-bromopropane in PBS buffer solution, pH 7.4, at $37^{\circ}C$ for 16 h, followed by a thermal hydrolysis, produced a detectable amount of $N^7-isopropyl$ guanine by an HPLC and UV analysis. The present results suggest that 2-bromopropane might form a DNA adduct in $N^7-position$ of 2'-deoxyguanosine at 3 Physiological condition.

The rates of solvolysis of $cis-[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$ complex have been investigated using spectrophotometric method at various pressures up to 1500 bar in several binary-aqueous mixtures(water-methyl alcohol, water-acetone, water-isopropyl alcohol and water-ethylene glycol). The activation volumes obtained from the pressure effect on rate constants were 1.13∼4.44 cm3mole-1 for methyl alcohol, 1.13∼3.59$cm^3mole^{-1}$ for acetone, 0.82∼3.44$cm^3mole^{-1}$ for isopropyl alcohol and 1.13∼2.68cm3mole-1 for ethylene glycol. In case of water-methyl alcohol, in addition to, the rates of solvolysis of this complex were determined in the presence of Fe(Ⅱ) ion and the activation volumes were -0.56∼1.59cm3mole$^{-1}$. The rates of solvolysis of this complex were analyzed by comparing with the results obtained from activation volumes and free energy cycle.

Cold Pad batch(CPB)처리에 의한 직물 전처리 공정은 특히 저온처리방식이라 에너지 소모가 적으며, 발생되는 대기오염 및 용수사용량이 연속식 방법에 비해 약 30%이상 절감되는 경제적 친환경적인 기술로 특히 정련과 표백을 동시에 수행할 수 있다. CPB 전처리는 호발, 정련, 표백을 포함하는 공정으로 일욕으로 처리시 패딩, 수세, 와인딩 공정을 단축시키기 때문에 약품 소비량 감소와 에너지 사용 절감 효과가 있어 전 세계적으로 확산되고 있는 Green Technology이다. 본 연구에서는 CPB용 다기능성 일욕형 조제에 개발하기 위해 전처리시 정련, 표백성에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 시료는 NP/C 교직물을 사용하였고, CPB 처리액은 원료 및 첨가용제를 여러 비율로 조합하여 조제를 formulation 하였다. 이를 사용하여 패딩, 배칭, 수세 및 건조하여 전처리를 하였다. 표백된 정도를 파악하기 위해 Macbeth Color Eye-3100을 사용하여 백도(whiteness(CIE))를 5회 평균값을 구하여 측정 하였다. 정련된 정도를 비교하기 위해 C.I.Reactive Red 238의 2g/l 용액을 사용하여 wicking test를 하였다. 1분간 흡수높이를 측정하여 정련성을 확인하였다. 각각의 첨가용제를 비교한 결과 isopropyl alcohol을 첨가 시 hexylene glycol, butyl diglycol를 첨가한 경우에 비해 높은 흡수높이를 나타내었다. isopropyl alcohol의 농도별 정련성을 알아보기 위해 0%, 5%, 10%의 농도로 처리하였다. 그 결과 isopropyl alcohol 첨가량이 많을수록 정련성이 증가하였다. 다기능성 일욕조제의 문제점인 알칼리 안정성 부족을 보완하기 위해 polyoxyethlylene tridecyl ether derivatieves(LAP300)의 인화물을 첨가하였다. LAP300의 첨가량이 증가할수록 정련성이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 알칼리 안정성 및 타 성능(정련성, 백도, 킬레이트 성)을 종합적으로 평가하여 향후, CPB용 다기능성 일욕형 조제의 개발에 대한 연구를 진행할 계획이다.

A subacute toxicity study of cis-Malonato[(4R,5R)-4,5-bis(aminomethyl)-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane]platinum(II)(SKI 2053R) was carried out to obtain information on its toxicological profiles, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose in beagle dogs. Four groups of beagle dogs (2M and 2F per group, 0,0.5,1.0,2.0mg/kg/day)were given 15 i.v. injections of SKI 2053R. In order to compare the toxic effects of SKI 2053R with those of cisplatin, one group was treated with cisplatin(0.7mg/kg/day)according to the same treatment schedule. The dosing schedule was divided into 3 courses of 5 consecutive days with 23-day dose-free intervals between each course. After completion of the treatments, remaining dogs were necropsied under established guidelines. Three of four dogs in the high dose group and one of four dogs in the middle dose group treated with SKI 2053R died of hypovolemic shock secondary to hemorrhagic and ulcerative enterocolitis. No toxicity-related mortality occurred in the low dose group of SKI 2053R. No survivor was observed in the group of cisplatin. Clinical signs including vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia and loss body weight were apparent in dogs given either cisplatin or high and middle doses of SKI 2053R. Severe thrombocytopenia and leukocytopenia were observed in the high dose group of SKI 2053R and cisplatin-treatment group, while toxicities as bone marrow suppression were reversible. The significant elevation of serum ALP values in group of SKI 2053R(2.0 mg/kg/day and 1.0mg/kg/day) and cisplatin(0.7mg/kg/day)was observed. Slight proteinuria waa observed in high and middle dose level groups of SKI 2053R. In histopathological examinations, pathological alterations of liver, kidney and spleen were noted dose-dependantly in dogs treated with SKI 2053R, and there was no overt sign of toxicity in low dose group of SKI 2053R. Compared to SKI 2053R, more severe durg-related toxicities occurred in dogs treated with cisplatin. It waw estimated that maximum tolerated dose of SKI 2053R in this treatment schedule was 0.5~0.7mg/kg/day. In conclusion, overall toxic potential of SKI 2053R was approximately 3 times lower than that of cisplatin with respect of lethality.
