    Syntheses and Pharmacology of some demethylated compounds related to 14-hydroxy-dihydro-6β-thebainol 4-methyl ether (oxymethebanol), a new potent antitussive, were presented with interest to the structure-antitussive activity relationship on the 6-hydroxyl group in the morphinans. It was suggested that the β (equatorial)-configuration in 6-hydroxyl group is one of essential factors for an appearance of strong antitussive action of the 3, 4, 6, 14-tetrahydroxy-morphinan 3, 4-diethers.

    Transfer reaction of β-D-glucofuranose from phenyl β-D-glucofuranoside to methanol by almond emulsin was recognized. Extent of glucofuranosyl transfer from different aryl β-D-glucofuranoside to alcohol was determined. Influence of pH on the glucofuranosyl transfer was examined. The course of the transfer reaction was also reported. Enzymic transfer of β-D-galactofuranose and β-D-glucofuranosiduronic acid was also investigated. In view of the above facts, it was concluded that β-D-glycofuranosyl residue was transferred by β-glycosidase from phenol to alcohol and conversion of furanose ring to pyranose ring was not occured in the course of enzymic transfer reaction.

    The uptake of glycine-1-14C and AIB-1-14C by HeLa cells into the 60% alcoholsoluble fraction and the effect of steroid (10 μg/ml of medium) on it were studied. After exposure of the cells to cortisol for 48 hr during culture, glycine uptake by the cells in 3, 5, 10 and 60 min of incubation in lactalbumin medium was depressed to 55 to 84% of the control. Larger depressing effect of cortisol on glycine uptake in 10 min of incubation was observed when the cells were incubated in Eagle's medium. Deoxycorticosterone also decreased glycine uptake to 55.6% of the control in 10 min of incubation in Eagle's medium. Cortisol decreased AIB uptake by 33 and 41%, and deoxycorticosterone by 9% (not significant) and 21% in 10 and 30 min of incubation, respectively. 17β-Estradiol and estriol did not significantly affect glycine uptake.

    In order to clarify the structure-activity relationship, synthesis of the titled compounds has been undertaken. The acid-cleavage of 14α, 15α-epoxyisobufadienolide (I) followed by oxidation with chromium trioxide gave the 14β-hydroxy-15-ketone (III). The ring opening of the β-epoxide (IV) and subsequent epimerization at C-14 resulted in formation of 15-oxo-14β-isobufadienolide (VI). Upon treatment with N-bromosuccinimide and then with lithium chloride or sodium iodide 14β, 17α- and 14α, 17β-isobufadienolides (IX and XIII) were led to Δ16, Δ14, 16 and Δ16-14β, 15β-epoxy derivatives (X, XV and XVI), respectively.

    The attempts were made to synthesize 16-substituted 14, 17-cis-5α-cardenolides by the method worked out by Ruzicka, et al. starting from 16β-methyl-14α, 17α- and 16α-cyano-14β, 17β-pregnan-20-one derivatives (I and VI). Condensation with ethyl bromoacetate followed by dehydration gave the unsaturated acid esters, which on selenium dioxide oxidation were led to the desired cardenolides (IV and IX). However, Reformatsky reaction with 3β-acetoxy-16α-methyl-14β, 17β-pregn-5-en-20-one (V) resulted in failure probably due to the steric interaction with the methyl group at C-16.

    It was found that a certain relation seems to exist between the carcinogenic action of mononitroquinoline and the approximate superdelocalizabilities of the carbon atom to which the nitro group is attached. Referring to these results, the approximate superdelocalizabilities of some derivatives of 2- and 4-nitroquinolines were also calculated, and a relationship between the chemical structure and the carcinogenicity was discussed.

    In the previous paper, it was shown that antipyrine was oxidized not only to 4-hydroxyantipyrine, but also to 3-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-one which was characterized on the basis of analytical and spectral data. The present study established the latter pathway, the oxidation of methyl group at 3-position of pyrazolinone ring by the chemical synthesis of authentic sample, and also demonstrated chromatographically the subsequent pathway to 2-methyl-1-phenyl-5-oxo-3-pyrazolin-3-carboxylic acid. Possible importance of this serial oxidation steps was discussed concerning with antipyrine allergy problem. By the preliminary test it was shown that 3-hydroxymethyl metabolite did not retain the antipyretic acitivity.

    The distribution of orally and intravenously administered 14C-oxazolam was studied in mice by means of whole-body autoradiography and in rats by scintillation counting of the organs and tissues. The radioactivity was found to be widely distributed in various tissues including the brain at 30 min after oral administration, reached the maximum levels within 1 hr and thereafter declined rather rapidly. The distribution patterns were similar for mice and rats, except that the brain uptake of the drug was appreciably higher in mice than in rats. A high affinity of oxazolam to the brain tissue was demonstrated by an extremely high and rapid uptake of radioactivity by the brain after intravenous injection in mice. The brain level reached its maximum at about 1 min after the injection and thereafter fell off rapidly, some retention of radioactivity being observed in the white matter of the brain-stem and in the trigeminal nerve. Autoradiographic studies in pregnant mice demonstrated that there is a slow and only a slight penetration of radioactivity through the placenta. A comparison of the excretion patterns of oxazolam after oral administration in mice, rats, dogs and man revealed that in mice and rats the excretion in the feces, mostly derived from the biliary excretion, was more important than that in the urine, while in dogs a larger part was excreted in the urine and in man the most part (ca. 80% of the dose) in the urine.

    A number of N-acyl and N-nitroso-3-dialkylaminosydnonimines (II) were synthesized by various acylating methods. In some cases, the acylation with activated esters, mixed anhydrides or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide was found to be more favorable. The reactivities of these derivatives towards acids and alkalis were investigated. Trifluoroacetyl (II-6) and formyl (II-1) compounds were easily deacylated in varuous conditions. Methylation took place at the acylated imino nitrogen of N-ethoxycarbonyl compound to give the quaternary salt (II-18). N-Acetyl compound (II-2) was compared with its 3-alkyl analog in the physicochemical properties ; its pKa values reveals that the morpholino group has little effect on the basicity of the compound.

    A special chamber for thin-layer chromatography was devised in which compounds can be developed after adequate equilibration of the chromatographic media with the vapor of solvent systems. A comparison was made between the patterns of mobilities of several compounds when the compounds were developed using this chamber and a conventional chamber. Using the chamber, a well reproducible Rf value was obtained even when a compound was developed with the multicomponent solvent system and under different conditions of temperature.

    In order to obtain 8-fluoroadenosine, 8-aminoadenosine was subjected to Schiemann reaction. However, presumably due to lability of the nucleosidic linkage of 8-fluoroadenosine, only 8-fluoroadenine and 8-oxyadenine were obtained as the product. When 2', 3', 5'-tri-O-acetyl-8-aminoadenosine, which was synthesized from 2', 3', 5'-tri-O-acetyl-8-bromoadenosine by way of 8-azido compound, was diazotized with sodium nitrite in 40% HBF4 at -20°, 2', 3', 5'-tri-O-acetyl-8-fluoroadenosine was obtained in yield around 10%. Optical properties and migratory behaviors in paper chromatography resembled those of 8-bromoadenosine derivative. 8-Fluoroinosine and 8-oxyadenine were also obtained as the byproduct. Deacetylation of triacetyl-8-fluoroadenosine gave 8-fluoroadenosine, which had circular dichroism (CD) profile similar to that of 8-bromoadenosine and a syn conformation was suggested to this compound. 8-Aminoguanosine gave 8-aminoxanthine and 8-fluoroxanthine by the Schiemann reaction.

    The reaction products of the color reactions of butylurea and glucuronolactone with 1-phenyl-1, 2-propanedione, two positional isomers of its monoxime and diacetyl in aqueous phosphoric acid were investigated. The results showed that all reactions, regardless of the difference in the color developing reagent employed, gave 2, 2'-dioxo-4, 5'-diimidazolylmethane (I) derivatives as main products, and that the reactions of diacetyl and its monoxime gave tetrahydroimidazo [4, 5-d] imidazole-2, 5-dione (II) derivatives as common products. All of these compounds developed visible colors in acidic media, and the colors received strong hyperchromic shifts by the duration of the keeping time at room temperature. Because every color had close relations with the colors of the respective reaction mixtures, I and II derivatives were indicated to have significant responsibilities for the colorations. In spite of the poor reproducibility of isolation, an isolation of 1, 4-dimethyl-4-acetyl-3 (or 6)-butylcarbamoylimino-1, 2-cyclohexen-6 (or 3)-one (III) from the reaction mixture of butylurea, diacetyl and glucuronolactone was also mentioned, because its responsibility for the color reaction was not excluded. The influence of glucuronolactone on the formation of the reaction products was shown to be negligible and glucuronolactone was assumed to play its role in the process of the stabilization of the color developed.

    Evaluating the extent of the hydrophobicity of 8 local anesthetics by the adsorbability on carbon black, discussions were made what kind of role the hydrophobicity plays in the nerve blocking. Additionally, the relationship between the partition coefficient in n-octanol/buffer solution and the blocking potency was investigated. The adsorbed amount (represented by a) increased with pH, while the reported data of minimum blocking concentration (MBC) decreased. There was no comparison between the increases of a and 1/(MBC) with pH, because the latter increase was so remarkable. The blocking potency (represented by -log (MBC)) increased with the adsorbability (represented by log b), where all the data were included between log b=2.8, and log b=4.1. The most available local anesthetics had the adsorbability around log b=4. The blocking potency increased with the decrease in the occupied area by one molecule. The increasing tendency of partition coefficient with pH was closer to that of 1/(MBC) than that of a or b. All the results suggested that a minimum adsorbability of drug is necessary in the nerve blocking and the behavior of drug under the surface of nerve membrane which may be related with the penetration forms a necessary factor affecting the activity.

The Dieckmann condensation of IV led to the corresponding cyclic compound (V), mp 152-153°, contaminated with a small amount of a 4-hydroxy-pyrido [1, 2-b] pyridazinium hydroxide derivative (VI), mp 135-136° (anhydronium base). V and VI are transmutable each other by oxido-reduction. VI was readily hydrolysed to the corresponding carboxylic acid (VII), which was decarboxylated to anhydro 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydro-pyrido [1, 2-b] pyridazinium hydroxide (VIII), mp 142°. The C3-position of VIII was subject to both the electrophilic and the nucleophilic attacks ; VIII was readily brominated with bromine to give the 3-bromo compound (IX) which led, via the corresponding thiouronium bromide, to the 3-mercapto compound (XII), and to the anilino derivative (X) reacted with aniline. Furthermore, VIII was treated with hydrogen peroxide to give 3-hydroxy derivative (XV). The above synthesis has been applicable to a general method for the preparation of anhydro 1-substituted or 1, 6-disubstituted 5-hydroxy-pyridazinium hydroxides, a type of zwitterionic heterocyclic compounds.

    Procedures for the purification of acidic growth factors for Bifidobacterium bifidum from carrot were developed. These involved adequate solvent extraction and subsequent successive chromatography on Amberlite IR-45, IRC-50, IRA-68, and SE, DEAE, QAE Sephadex which included a proper precipitation procedure for the SE-Sephadex eluate, and preparative paper electrophoresis. Among five kinds of growth factors separated, the major growth factor and the most acidic factor were highly purified. Both factors differed from coenzyme A and its known precursors, while one of the weaker acidic factors coincided with D-pantetheine 4'-phosphate in chromatographic and electrophoretic behaviors.

    Molecular weight of the major bifidus factor (I) in carrot was less than 700. I was strongly acidic and converted to a still strongly acidic active compound (II) with alkaline phosphatase. I and II changed to D-pantetheine 4'-phosphate (P-PaSH) and D-pantetheine (PaSH) with KCN or 2-mercaptoethanol, conversely in 0.1M NaHCO3, P-PaSH and PaSS (D-pantethine) gradually and partially changed to I and II, respectively. These fact suggested that I and II were oxidation products of P-PaSH and PaSS. Among possible oxidation products of PaSS synthesized, D-Pantetheine-S-sulfonic acid (PaSSO2H) was active and coincided with II. Synthesized 4'-phospho-D-pantetheine-S-sulfonic acid (P-PaSSO3H) was also active and identified with I by the behaviors in thin-layer chromatography, paper electrophoresis, amino acid analysis, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The possibility to be an artifact of P-PaSSO3H was deniable, since a column chromatogram on DEAE-Sephadex of direct methanol extract of raw carrot root showed the identical peak. The biochemical and medical significances of the new compound P-PaSSO3H are discussed.

    Molecular weight of the minor bifidus factor (III) in carrot was 700-800. III was converted to 3'-dephospho-coenzyme A (DP-CoA) with KCN or 2-mercaptoethanol. It suggested that III was 3'-dephospho-coenzyme A-S-sulfonic acid (DP-CoASSO3H). This was confirmed by amino acid and phosphoric acid analysis and ultraviolet spectrum. Further synthesized DP-CoASSO3H coincided with III in behaviors of gel filtration, paper electrophoresis, thin-layer chromatography and ultraviolet spectrum. Coenzyme A-S-sulfonic acid (CoASSO3H) was also synthesized, and significances of these S-sulfonated compounds are discussed.

    1) The in vitro synthesis of glucosamine-6-phosphate (Gm-6-P) was inhibited effectively by adding aurothiomalate and acid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to the incubation mixtures. The drug-action was more sensitive in the reaction with the supernatant fluid of the croton oil-induced granulation tissue homogenate using as a source of Gm-6-P synthetase, as compared to the case of the liver homogenate. Potency of each compound was in the following descending order ; aurothiomalate, flufenamic and mefenamic acids, phenylbutazone and salicylic acid. Chloroquine and aminopyrine had no effect on Gm-6-P synthesis with the enzymes from both sources at 10-3M. 2) A markedly high activity of Gm-6-P synthetase was found in the swollen hind paws of the rats which were suffered from adjuvant disease. pH-difference was seen in the maximum production of Gm-6-P between the inflamed tissue and liver enzymes. The optimum pH was 6.8 for the reaction with the homogenates of the swollen paws and croton oil-induced granulation tissue, while that for the liver enzyme was in the range from 7.7 to 8.3. 3) Good correlation was seen between increases of the enzyme activity and the swelling in the hind paws as adjuvant disease appeared and developed in rats. On the other hand, the activity of the liver enzyme was not changed significantly by the development of the typical inflammatory lesions. 4) The drug-action to Gm-6-P synthesis with the paw enzyme was much clearer in the reaction at pH 6.8 than pH 7.7.
