    The effects of xylopinine on the adrenergic mechanism of the isolated guinea-pig's atria were studied. Xylopinine in concentrations above 10-8 depressed the rate of the atrial beat without affecting the concentration. During the early phase of the atrial depression by xylopinine the chronotropic effects of adrenaline and isopropylnoradrenaline were depressed, while the same effects were potentiated during the late phase of the depression.

    The dissolution rate constants of barbital polymorphs in water were measured by rotating disk method. The phase transition took place by compression during preparing of the disk. Combining the Levich equation and the concept of consecutive process first proposed by Berthoud, the rate constant of interfacial chemical reaction and that of transport process were obtained separately, and the diffusion coefficient also was calculated. These values were reasonable compared with data found in many references, and the theoretical diffusion coefficient calculated according to the Wilke and Othmer equations. The activation energies of transport process and chemical reactionwere obtained from the temperature dependence. Furthermore, the solubility data obtained by the finite differences diagram method affordedthe heat of transition, transition temperature and entropy change between Phase I and Phase III.

    The effects of hydrazine compounds on rabbit liver mitochondrial monoamine oxidase were examined using a manometric method. Two hydrazine derivatives, i.e., 1-benzyl-2-(4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydro-1, 2-benzisoxazol-3-yl) carbonyl hydrazine hydrochloride (31037-S) and 1-benzyl-2-(3-methylisoxazol-5-yl) carbonyl hydrazine (31087-S) were especially powerful inhibitors of this enzyme. They acted competitively with the enzyme and were more potent than iproniazid. When each inhibitor was allowed to react with the enzyme in the absence of substrate, its inhibitory action was irreversible and much enhanced. Cyanide and oxygen promoted the inhibitory action of both compounds. In comparison with the potencies of some allied compounds, it was suggested that an active part of 31037-S or 31087-S is a benzylhydrazine moiety, and that it directly influences the enzyme active site.

    Examinations were performed to ascertain the prosthetic groups of rabbit liver mitochondrial monoamine oxidase. This enzyme was inhibited competitively by 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate. Neocuproine and α, α'-dipyridyl were weak inhibitors, but diethyldithiocarbamate or ethylenediaminetetraacetate were little effective. Cupric ions were available to reactivate the depressed activity of the 8-hydroxyquinoline-treated enzyme. Since recovery was not observed with ferrous ions, the enzyme appeared to be cuproprotein. The second prosthetic group was likely to be sulfhydryl because p-chloromercuribenzoate reacted competitively with the enzyme. Oxidants such as 2-methyl-1, 4-naphthoquinone or β-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate were also strong inhibitors. Inhibitory effects of 1-benzyl-2-(4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydro-1, 2-benzisoxazo-3-lyl) carbonylhydrazine hydrochloride (31037-S) and 1-benzyl-2-(3-methylisoxazol-5-yl) carbonylhydrazine (31087-S) were counteracted clearly by the simultaneous addition of some metal ions. Cupric ions were especially efficient. An analogous counteraction was observed with cysteine, while methionine was inert in this phenomenon. The inhibitory action of both hydrazine compounds was likely to be dependent on the blocking of these metal and sulfhydryl groups.

    Additional effects of 1-benzyl-2-(4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydro-1, 2-benzisoxazol-3-yl) carbonylhydrazine hydrochloride (31037-S) and 1-benzyl-2-(3-methylisoxazol-5-yl) carbonylhydrazine (31087-S) were demonstrated in the mitochondrial monoamine oxidase of rabbit liver. The potencies of the compounds were greatly enhanced when the enzyme was preincubated for a long time at 37.5° before the addition of substrate and each hydrazine compound. This phenomenon occurred proportionally to time of the preincubation. Although the potenciated effect was observed analogously with both hydrazine compounds, it was much more remarkable in the case of 31087-S, especially when the enzyme was preincubated with semicarbazide. The preincubation did not influence normal enzyme activity. The compounds affected competitively the 3 min-preincubated enzyme, while they showed a non-competitive type inhibition in the 10 min-preincubated one. The phenomena observed here were unlikely based on mechanisms such as the transformation of each inhibitor, damage of the mitochondrial structure or the sensitization of the enzyme by cyanide.

    Previously, l-abietic acid (I) was transformed into hydrofluorene derivative, regarded as one of the basic structure of gibberellin, by application of the benzilic acid rearrangement. As successive transformation, a synthesis of c-homohydrofluorene (XX) has been realized by opening of B/C-ring juncture and successive ring closure of Δ8, 9-unsaturated ester (X) prepared from (I).

    Hydrofluorene (III) and (IV) prepared by alkaline treatment of cis-dioxo ester (II), was already considered, without reliable evidence, to have cis-A/B-ring fusion. Now, in comparison with standard trans-hydrofluorene (XII) previously reported, the assumption on the structure of IV has been confirmed. Otherwise, stereochemical analysis on catalytic hydrogenation of Δ5, 6-unsaturated hydrofluorene (XIV and XV) is also carried out.

    The effect of insect-moulting steroid, ecdysterone, on protein synthesis in mouse liver was studied. The administration of ecdysterone caused an early stimulation of protein synthesis, as indicated by the marked increase in the incorporation of 14C-chlorella hydrolysate into hot-acid insoluble protein, as early as 2 hr after the treatment as well as does 4-chlorotestosterone. Ecdysterone was able to exert its stimulatory effect on the protein synthetic ability of microsomes or polysomes, but not S-105 fluid, soluble components for protein synthesis, except in microsomal system. The stimulation induced by ecdysterone was partly insensitive to actinomycin, inhibitor of DNA-dependent RNA synthesis, but the stimulation by 4-chlorotestosterone was completely repressed by it.

    On several aminoquinone derivatives the interaction with nucleic acid and the effects on DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis in Ehrlich mouse ascites tumor cells were investigated in relation to the findings that aminoquinone structures in such antibiotics as actinomycins and mitomycins played an important role on their biological effects as a functional group. The results are as follows : 1. Among the aminoquinone derivatives used for this investigation the compounds of aminoquinone imine or aminophenoxazone type showed to interact with nucleic acid by the method of difference spectrum. Besides, the former interacted with both of DNA (calf thymus DNA) and RNA (yeast tRNA). 2. The type of spectral shifts of aminoquinone imines was found to be different from that of aminophenoxazones, and the interaction of these compounds with nucleic acid was become weak by the addition of Mg2+. 3. All the compounds which interacted with nucleic acid inhibited the synthesis of nucleic acid and protein in Ehrlich mouse ascites tumor cells in vitro, and the order of inhibition in each case was as follows ; DNA>protein>RNA. 4. Among these compounds 2-amino-1, 4-naphthoquinone imine-HCl (ANQI) was remarkable for its intensive inhibition on DNA biosynthesis, that is, the incorporation of thymidine-2-14C into DNA was inhibited almost perfectly at the concentrations of ANQI higher than 5×10-6M, and was depressed as much as 33% even at 5×10-8M. 5. These compounds did not stimulate the degradation of DNA, while that of RNA was somewhat stimulated by ANQI.

    On 2-amino-1, 4-naphthoquinone imine-HCl (ANQI), which had previously been reported to interact with nucleic acid and to inhibit the synthesis of nucleic acid and protein, especially of DNA, in Ehrlich mouse ascites tumor cells in vitro, the details of the interaction with nucleic acid were investigated by the methods of melting experiment for DNA, difference spectrum, equilibrium dialysis, and flow dichroism. The results are as follows : 1. The sites in DNA for attachment of ANQI were the purine base moieties, i.e., both of adenine and guanine. ANQI interacted with a highly polymerized native DNA at the highest degree and hardly interacted with such monomers as bases, nucleosides, and nucleotides. 2. ANQI was found to be able to bind to calf thymus DNA up to the ratio of 2 moles per 4 nucleotides by the method of equilibrium dialysis. This means that ANQI can attach with all the purine bases in DNA. 3. Such bivalent metal ions as Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ba2+ interfered with the interaction between ANQI and DNA. On the other hand, Hg2+ increased the extent of interaction. 4. It was found from the measurement of flow dichroism on DNA-bound ANQI that the orientation of ANQI was nearly parallel with the planes of DNA bases.

    Following the previous discussions on the adsorption of tryptophan based on the hydrophobic bonding mechanism, an examination in detail was carried out in the adsorption of barbituric and thiobarbituric acid derivatives by carbon black from aqueous solution in relation to the size of hydrocarbon chains, making the first step to discuss the correlation between the adsorption and the biopharmaceutical data. Equations were derived to express the relationship between the adsorption and the size of the respective molecule, considering the contributions of hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties. The results were in good agreement with such equations, indicating that the larger the size of hydrophobic moiety, the more the molecule was adsorbed and that each of two 5-substituted hydrocarbon chains might adopt the parallel orientation to carbon black surface. Calculating the thermodynamic functions of adsorption, it was shown that the larger the size of 5-substituted hydrocarbon chains, the less absolute value of enthalpy change and the greater entropy change were caused by the hydration of molecule accompanying the destruction of iceberg through the adsorption process. A selectivity was not found for the adsorption of such geometrical isomers as pentobarbital and amobarbital by carbon black. Correlating the adsorption with the solubility, the partition coefficient, and the surface tension depressing activity, it was established that carbon black was of hydrophobic surface and that the more hydrophobic the molecule, the easier it was adsorbed.

    Discussions on biopharmaceutical phenomena were given on the bases of the adsorption by carbon black from aqueous solution and the permeation through Visking tube of barbituric acid derivatives. The absorption of drug was considered to proceed through the two succesive steps : 1) adsorption or uptake onto the membrane surface and 2) transport through the membrane. The results showed that the absorption might be controlled by adsorption or uptake by membrane. The permeation through Visking tube, as an experimental model for the transport process in the absorption, decreased with the increase of the molecular volume of barbituric acid derivatives, as was explained to be a simple diffusion through pore and was contrary to the actual absorption tendency. Plotting the absorption data6, 11) against the adsorbability of barbituric acid derivatives by carbon black, a very good correlation was given, demonstrating that such an adsorption study was useful to estimate the absorbability in vivo. Plotting the data of the binding to bovine serum albumin13) against the adsorbability of barbituric acid derivatives by carbon black, a good correlation was given, suggesting that the adsorption by such a hydrophobic substance as carbon black might have some relation to the pharmacological action. Moreover, a fairly good correlation was observed between the existing pharmacological data and the adsorbability of barbituric acid derivatives by carbon black.

Direct phosphorylation of 4-thiouridine with excess amounts of cyanoethylphosphate and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide produced 2', (3')-mono-, 5'-mono-and 2', (3'), 5'-diphosphate of 4-thiouridine. Treatment of the diphosphate with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide gave 4-thiouridine 2', 3'-cyclic, 5'-diphosphate (VIII). 4-Thiouridine 2', 3'-cyclic phosphate (IX) was obtained by treatment of 4-thiouridine 2', (3')-phosphate with same manner or by digestion of VIII with E. coli alkaline phosphomonoesterase. 4-thiouridine 3'-phosphate was prepared by digestion of IX with bovine pancreatic ribonuclease.

    The differential thermal analysis (DTA) and the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were carried out with various two-component mixtures of organic materials prepared by mechanical mixing, by solidification after fusion and by evaporation of the solution of components. As was expected, when the components did not form a molecular compound, no distinct difference in the thermograms were observed between the kinds of samples except that in the ones for the simple physical mixture, additional small peaks due to polymorphic transition appeared occasionally. On the contrary, the method of sample preparation exerted marked influence on the result, if the molecular compound was formed between components. Usually, the evaporated mixture solidifies in the state of stable equilibrium ; therefore, the DTA and DSC curves were the same as that for the mixture of the isolated compound and one of the components. In the case of the physical mixture which is in the metastable state, the curves showed characteristic peaks of the metastable fusion (endothermic), and of the subsequent compound formation and solidification (exothermic). Thus, by applying DTA or DSC to the physical mixture, a simple method was developed for detecting the molecular compound between organic materials. Also, the heat of formation of the molecular compound could be obtained by reducing the total area of the DSC peaks for the isolated compound from that for the corresponding physical mixture.
