Thermal analyses of the system of chloramphenicol and urea were carried out both by the thaw-melt and the DTA method. The system gave a phase diagram of simple eutectic type. The eutectic mixture melts at 104°and has a composition of 76% of the antibiotics and 24% of urea by weight. Dissolution rates of ordinary chloramphenicol, and four kinds of samples prepared by mechanical mixing or by fusion of both substances were investigated. Although the eutectic mixture itself did not dissolve rapidly, the fused conglomerate having a weight ratio of 1 : 4 dissolved much more rapidly, and a maximum was observed in its dissolution curve. Such a peculiar dissolution can be attributed to the size reduction of chloramphenicol by the formation of eutectic mixture and the presence of easily soluble primary crystals of urea which have much greater surface available for contact with the surrounding solution. When the fused conglomerate of this composition was administered to rabbits in suspension or capsule form, the antibiotics was absorbed much more rapidly and to a greater extent. High correspondence between dissolution and absorption rate indicates that the absorption of chloramphenicol is largely dependent on the rate of dissolution which is intimately related to the physical state. It is thought that this new form of medication will be effectively applied for therapeutical purpose, when blood concentration should be achieved as rapidly as possible and yet patients can not receive the antibiotics by injection.

Phosphorylation of adenosine with morpholino phosphorodichloridate, P
1-diphenyl P
2-morpholino pyrophosphorochloridate and 2, 6-lupetidyl phosphorodichloridate in the presence of boric acid was performed in DMF solution. It was observed that the ratio of resulting 5'-monophosphate to 2'-+3'-monophosphate was in the range of 2.7∼5.5, which indicated the protection of borate complex on 2'-and 3'-hydroxyl group of adenosine against the attack of the phosphorylating agent.

In order to determine the site of action of organophosphate group on acetylcholine (ACh) receptor surface, the effect of several antagonists of ACh has been observed with Magnus method using the isolated intestine of mice. These experiments gave following results : 1) A modified method for determining the site of action of antagonist on ACh receptor surface was established stochastically and the validity was evidenced by two trial experiments. 2) According to this justified method, the anticholinergic effect of four pairs consisting of two antagonists were demonstrated and from these results, four pairs were divided into groups acting on the same site and on the different site ; the former is two pairs consisting of pyridine aldoxime methiodide (PAM) and atropine, and parathion and isopentyl acetate, the latter is two pairs consisting of atropine and parathion, and parathion and PAM. From this fact, it was concluded that organophosphate group of parathion is attracted to, what is called, the esteratic site of ACh receptor surface in the inhibitory action against ACh. 3) From the fact that the interaction between PAM and butyl diethyl phosphate is recognized but PAM and isopropyl phosphate are independent each other in the inhibitory action against ACh, it was suggested as the possible mechanism that the butyl radical of phosphate can be to hinder the approach of PAM to the anionic site of ACh receptor surface. This is an experimental evidence that there are two active sites with the distance of 7 A on ACh receptor surface.

To clarify the relationship between anticholinergic and anticholinesterase (anti-ChE) activities on the basis of chemical structure, nineteen organophosphoryl choline derivatives [chemical formula] were synthesized. Curare-like, atropine-like and anticholinesterase actions of these compounds were tested to screen. The experimental results were as follows : 1) Curare-like and atropine-like actions were both studied by Magnus method, observing their effect on rectus abdominis of frog and on intestines of white mice. Anti-ChE action on enzyme preparation from rabbit serum was tested by using Warburg's manometric method. 2) As to the basic structure of various organophosphoryl choline derivatives, curarelike action was increased in the following order of magnitude ; [chemical formula]. The R radicals increased the potency in the following order ; [chemical formula] and as for quaternary ammonium salts of derivatives, bromides were more potent than iodides. From these compounds it was found that four derivatives of NP-244 (I), NP-245 (I), NP-244pC (I) and NP244pB (I) was more potent than curare. 3) On the atropine-like action of organophosphoryl choline derivatives, the relation between their structure and potency was found to have the same tendency as in the case of curare-like action, but all of these derivative were weaker than that of atropine. 4) On the anti-ChE action of organophosphoryl choline, the basic structures increased its potency in the following order ; [chemical formula], but the change in R radicals did not always increase the potency of their curare-like action. All of these derivatives were weaker than neostigmine. 5) The relationship between curare-like and atropine-like actions and between curare-like and anti-ChE actions were discussed with the selective indexes calculated from experimental results. Some of thionothiol-phosphate have both curare-like and ChE activity, and its curare-like action is little antagonized by neostigmine. From these facts, it was suggested that acetylcholine receptor was perhaps different from ChE.

Kinetic study of isotope exchange reaction between p-nitrophenyl acetate and acetic anhydride in pyridine showed that one half of the radioactivity of acetic anhydride was employed for the exchange reaction. The result agreed with that of exchange reaction between acetic acid and p-nitrophenyl acetate, and the reaction showed exact linearity of log (1-F) vs. t. The exchange rate N was shown to be the first order function with respect to the ester and the acid. From the experiments carried out at 45.0°, 37.0°, 25.5°, and 0°, 14.7 kcal./mole was estimated for Ea. The mechanism, nucleophilic attack of acetoxyl group to the positive center of carbonyl group in the ester followed by acyloxygen fission, was considered to be most probable.

The behaviors of various 4, 5-di-and 3, 4, 5-trisubstituted 1-phenyl-6 (1H)-pyridazinone against caustic alkali and hydrobromic acid were investigated. From these data, the mechanism of the ring-contraction from pyridazinone to pyrazolone, as shown in Chart 1, was discussed. Action of 1-phenyl-4, 5-dichloro-6 (1H)-pyridazinone with boiling caustic alkali took place the ring-contraction to give unexpected 1-phenyl-3-hydroxy-5-pyrazole-carboxylic acid. The mechanism of this reaction was also assumed as shown in Chart 4. Moreover, the reactivity of chlorines on 1-phenyl-3, 4, 5-trichloro-6 (1H)-pyridazinone was elucidated to increase in the order 4-, 5-, 3-position from the result of its methoxylation reaction.

2-Dimethylaminomethylestrone (Ia) and the 4-isomer (IIa) were obtained from the Mannich product of estrone. Methiodides of I'a-c and II'a-c were treated with alcoholic alkali to give 2-and 4-alkoxymethylestrogens in good yields. Methylation in the usual manner of I and II failed, but reaction of I and II with dimethylsulfate in a boiling methanolic alkali gave the 3-methyl ethers of 2-and 4-methoxymethylestrogens, respectively. The structural assignments of the isomers were discussed based on nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared and ultraviolet spectra.

The methyl substituent effect on the proton chemical shifts and the correlation between the proton chemical shift and the local π-electron density on the carbon atom to which the proton is bonded, are discussed. Thus the charge densities determined from proton chemical shifts show a remarkably good correspondence with the charge distributions calculated by the simple Huckel MO method.

Dibenzo-p-dioxin-2, 7-dicarboxylic acid (III) in concentrated sulfuric acid with potassium nitrate gave an electron spin resonance spectrum which was considerably similar to that of dibenzo-p-dioxin-2, 7-disulfonic acid (II). Therefore, the spectra indicated that the distributions of the spin densities of the odd electron were quite similar in both cases.

4-(o-Methoxymethoxybenzoyl)-1, 3-cyclohexanedione, having a β-tricarbonyl system, was synthesized by the interaction of disodio-1, 3-cyclohexanediene and methyl o-methoxymethoxybenzoate in liquid ammonia. 4-(o-Hydroxybenzoyl)-1, 3-cyclohexanedione, having a hypothetical β-tetracarbonyl system, was also prepared. Grisan-2', 3, 4'-trione yielded from the β-tetraketone by means of alkaline ferricyanide oxidation. The structures of its two isomeric methyl enol ethers were proved by deriving them to grisan-2', 3-and grisan-3, 4'-dione.
