Though there are several assay methods for the kallikreins, there are neither standard units nor standard methods. The representative activities of kallikreins, such as the vasodilator, kinin forming and esterolytic activities, were determined by various methods on hog pancreatic, human salivary, urinary and plasma and guinea pig coagulating gland kallikreins and also on trypsin. Some enzymatic properties of these kallikreins were discussed from comparison of their activities, and the procedures of these assay methods were also examined in detail.

Blood concentration of unchanged N-phenylurea and the urinary excreted amount of its metabolites were determined periodically, after intravenous administration of N-phenylurea. Blood concentration time course of N-pheylurea observed was well explained by a pharmacokinetic model that assumes Michaelis Menten equation for hydroxylation step and a first order process for the metabolism of N-phenylurea other than hydroxylation. This result is analogous to that of acetanilide reported previously. In addition, elimination rate of acetanilide from the blood was affected and reduced by the simultaneous administration of N-phenylurea. It was proved that the hydroxylation process of these drugs was mutually inhibited. Computation of the theoretical values were carried out by means of an analog computer.

The compositions of the fractionized samples of Passiflora incarnata dry extract were investigated. Harmine was found in the ether soluble fraction by paper and thinlayer chromatographies. Maltol was isolated from the 2 N HCl soluble fraction. The pharmacological properties of Passiflora incarnata dry extract, the 2 N HCl soluble fraction, maltol and ethyl maltol were investigated. The 2 N HCl soluble fraction decreased the oxygene uptake by rat brain cortex slices at a high concentration. Maltol caused a depression in mice and showed potentiation on hexobarbital induced sleep, anticonvulsant action with such high doses as toxic, and inhibition on the spontaneous motor activity in mice with low doses. Ethyl maltol showed similar actions but more potent anticonvulsant avtivity and less potent inhibitory effects on the spontaneous motor activity.

A perfusion with Krebs-Ringer solution containing dextran through the mesenteric vascular system was performed on rat to which
131I-labelled α-chymotrypsin was administered in the jejunum. This method sufficed for the purpose of eliminating various blood components, such as the inhibitors for the enzyme, which interfer with quantitative assay of a small amount of the enzyme absorbed. Using the method, the non-diffusible
131I-bound substance (s) and N-acetyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester (ATEE)-hydrolyzing activity were found in the mesenteric perfusates of the rats, and the amount of the enzyme absorbed during 90 min was estimated to be about 0.6% of the infused dose. Furthermore, when the immunoreactivity with the antiserum against α-chymotrypsin was examined on the mesenteric perfusate, a precipitin band sharply indicating the enzyme was formed with the perfusate collected during the first 30 min after the administration. These results strongly suggest that small but significant amount of α-chymotrypsin is transmitted across the intestinal wall into the mesenteric vascular system as retaining its enzymic and immunochemical properties.

Effects of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) on aging-induced changes in activities of drug metabolizing enzymes were investigated. Aging of microsomes at 45° produced a reduction of lipid peroxidation while aging of 9000×g supernatant fraction at 45° resulted in a marked increase in the formation of lipid peroxides. From this finding, it was assumed that there might be heat stable stimulator of lipid peroxidation in addition to the heat labile inhibitor of lipid peroxidation which was found recently by us. EDTA completely prevented the inactivation of aniline hydroxylase and aminopyrine N-demethylase when rat liver 9000×g supernatant fraction was aged at 45°. When rat liver 9000×g supernatant fraction and microsomes were aged at 5° aerobically, activity of ethylmorphine N-demethylase was decreased and, inversely, amount of lipid peroxides formed during aging was increased. EDTA effectively inhibited the lipid peroxidation and decrease in ethylmorphine N-demethylase activity. The close relationship between lipid peroxidation and activity of ethylmorphine N-demethylase was confirmed using NADPH-generating system and ferrous ion as stimulators of lipid peroxidation.

The thione-thiol tautomerism and the oxidation of the 2-indolinethione have been studied. The ultraviolet (UV) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of 3-aryl-2-indoline-thiones disclosed the predominance of their thiol form in various solvents, while the oxo form was the sole species in the 3-phenyloxindole. However, the spectral data of 1-methyl-3-aryl-2-indolinethiones showed the predominance of the thione form in solution. The oxidation of the 2-indolinethiones with oxygen to the corresponding disulfide in EtOH has been followed by the oxygen uptake and the UV spectral change. The oxidation of 3-(p-nitrophenyl)-2-indolinethiones (5 and 9) was very rapid, while 3-tert-butyl-(14), 1-methyl-(11), and 2-indolinethione (10) resisted the oxidation. Other 2-indolinethiones were oxidized to the disulfide at moderate speed. The prolonged oxidation of 11 gave a small amount of 3-oxo-2-indolinethione (18) instead of the disulfide.

It was demonstrated that rabbit spermatozoa was acquired the fertilizing capacity in estrous uterus. And this capacitated spermatozoa was inhibited to penetrate into the ova treating with seminal plasma. In the present report, to clear these phenomena from the biochemical aspect, it was studied that how respiration and anaerobic fructolysis of guinea pig spermatozoa were influenced by the uterine environment and uterine extract. 1) Guinea pig spermatozoa incubated in estrogen dominated uterus shows much greater respiration and anaerobic fructolysis activity than that of incubated in progesterone dominated uterus. 2) Treatment with seminal plasma caused great inhibition of respiratory activity of spermatozoa that was incubated in estrogen dominated uterus. 3) Respiration and anaerobic fructolysis stimulating factor of guinea pig spermatozoa was extracted from the estrogen treated guinea pig uterus. And from bovine uterus the same stimulating factor (a protein of approximately 50000 molecular weight estimated from the behavior on Sephadex G-75 gel filtration). 4) This bovine uterine extract recovered or accelerate the low respiratory activity of the spermatozoa for the existence of seminal plasma. From these results, it is suggested that the extract from the guinea pig and bovine uterus might play a major role in sperm respiration and anaerobic fructolysis, and further be related to capacitation process in estrous uterus.

Polysaccharides have been isolated from the fruit bodies of Tremella fuciformis BERK, which grows in Japan and China. Some chemical and physical properties of these polysaccharides (AC and BC : from Chinese fungus ; AJI and BJ : from Japanese fungus) were examined. The polysaccharides were homogeneous as judged by gelfiltration (Sepharose 4B), electrophoresis (Zone and Tiselius), and ultracentrifugal analysis. These polysaccharides are acidic heteroglycans composed mainly of xylose, glucuronic acid and mannose, and contain acetyl groups in their molecules (the molar ratios of them are given in Table II). The chemical properties of BC were closely similar to those of BJ in the numerical values of elemental analyses, component sugar content and acetyl content. However, significant differences were observed between BC and BJ in the physical properties, such as intrinsic viscosity, sedimentation coefficient and molecular weight.

For the elucidation of molecular behaviors of surfactant solutions from the view-point of thermodynamic parameters, the standard heats of solution and micelle formation per mole of sodium dodecyl sulfate (NaDS), typical anionic surfactant, or ΔH°
sol and ΔH°
m were determined by calorimetry in the wide range of temperature from 20° to 45°, with parallel experiments determining critical micelle concentration by conductivity measurement and degree of Na+ ion dissociation on micelle by electromotive force measurement using Na+ ion responsive electrode. From the values of both the standard heats, the standard enthalpies of NaDS in monomeric and micellar states, H°
mono and H°
mie, were calculated on the relative base of standard enthalpy of solid state. The change of these values with temperature gave ca. 120 and 16 cal deg

-1 to the increases of the standard partial molar heat capacity of NaDS on transferring from solid state to monomeric and micellar states, i.e. ΔC°
p (solid→mono, NaDS) and ΔC°
p (solid→mic, NaDS), respectively. By applying a simple additivity rule, it was concluded that the change of heat capacity of the paraffin portion of NaDS plays an important role in the above-mentioned ΔC°
ps, implying the formation of hydrophobic interaction between the paraffin portion and water. With other experimental data, also the systematic description of surfactant solution was done in thermodymanic terms.

On the reaction of N-(dialkylaminomethyl) imides and -amides with nucleophiles the previous papers have exhibited the substitution of the imide or the amide residue and that of the dialkylamine residue. Although the actual substitution has been shown to depend on the substrate and the reaction condition, preferential substitution site of the substrate and how this is influenced by the reaction condition have been still in the dark. In pursuit of the substitution reaction of N-(piperidinomethyl) phthalimide, -succinimide and -benzamide it has been presumed that the substitution of the imide or amide residue is processed directly and the substitution of the piperidine residue is processed by succeeding secondary substitution or through elimination of piperidine, if possible, followed by addition of nucleophiles.

The effect of copper on the metabolism of 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene (DAB) in rat liver was examined, comparing with those of manganese, nickel, and zinc. Copper had the highest effect, followed by manganese, and the effect of nickel was slightly higher than or almost comparable to that of the control group. The effect of zinc gave almost the same or slightly lower activity as the control group. The effect of copper on the activity of DAB metabolism was observed in the microsomal fraction of the rat liver, and the elevation of activity was found with the increase of copper content in the microsomes. The fact seems to indicate that copper plays some role in elevating the metabolic activity. It was also found that the effect of copper on DAB metabolism concerned the elevations of azo reductase activity and ring hydroxylase activity.

The computer experiment was applied on the calculation of sterically allowed conformations of tri-(p-bromobenzoate) of methyl ester of prostaglandin F
1β in order to accumulate conformational informations of prostaglandins and develop a useful calculation method which could be applied on compounds containing saturated chains. Eightyfour forms of sterically allowed conformations were found. Calculations on the conformational energies of each of these conformations were carried out in order to find the conformation with the lowest energy and to research the relationships between sterically allowed conformations and their conformational energies. The calculation on the energies were restricted to the nonbonded and electrostatic energies, and the sum of them was approximated as the conformational energy. In this calculation, the values of van der Waals radii were parametrized and the effects on the conformations were discussed in detail. Different conformations of the lowest energy were given by the different values of van der Waals radii. The geometrical properties of the most stable conformation that were calculated using larger values of van der Waals radii than the usual values were identical with the information from X-ray diffraction study on prostaglandin F

The Grignard reaction of 13α-estrone (I) with ethynylmagnesium bromide provided two epimeric 17-ethynyl-17-ols (II, VIIIa), which on hydration were led to 3, 17-dihydroxy-19-nor-13α-pregnatrien-20-ones (IIIa, IXa). Elucidation of the stereochemistry at C-17 was attained by the degradative means. First, IIIa was submitted to metal hydride reduction, usual acetylation followed by Serini reaction to afford 19-nor-13α-pregnatrien-20-one (V). Upon treatment with base V was readily transformed into the thermody-namically much more stable 17α-epimer (VIb), whose structure was confirmed by leading to the known 13α-estratriene-3, 17α-diol (VIIa) employing Baeyer-Villiger reaction. The desired compounds were unequivocally obtained from the 3, 17-diacetates (IIIc, IXb) by partial hydrolysis, respectively.

First, the C-6 epimeric 6-hydroxyestradiol 3, 17-bis (tetrahydropyranyl) ethers (VIII, XI) were treated with succinic anhydride and pyridine in the usual manner, respectively. Subsequent removal of the protecting groups provided the desired 6-hydroxyestradiol 6-hemisuccinates (X, XIII). Secondly, 7α-hydroxyestradiol 7-hemisuccinate (XXIII) has been also synthesized from 6-dehydroestradiol (XIV) by way of the 6α, 7α-epoxide (XVIII) as a key intermediate. Reductive cleavage of the 6, 7-oxido ring with metal hydride yielded solely the 7α-hydroxyl compound (XIX). Transformation into the 7-hemisuccinate (XXI) followed by elimination of the protecting group afforded XXIII in a satisfactory yield.

6-deficient animals, and taurine loading prior to the deoxycholate-injection further augmented the increased secretion of this taurine-conjugated bile acid fraction. The glycodeoxycholic acid secretion in vitamin B
6-deficient rats was not increased significantly after the deoxycholate-injection.

As a part of our studies on the structure-activity relationship of 1, 3-disubstituted 5-dialkylamino-6-methyluracil derivatives, we have synthesized 1, 3-disubstituted 5-dialkylaminomethyl-6-methyluracils (B). In the synthesis, 1, 3-disubstituted 5-cyano-uracils (1-6) were hydrogenated with Raney-cobalt followed by methylation to give the 5-dimethylaminomethyluracil compounds (16-20). The Mannich reaction of 1, 3-disubstituted uracils (23-26, 33) did not proceed, but halogenomethylation of them and subsequent amination gave the 5-dialkylaminomethyl compounds (20, 34-41). As to their pharmacological activities, analgetic, antipyretic and antiinflammatory activities and acute toxicity were tested. The compounds (B) showed only antiinflammatory activity.

The kinetics of the hydrolyses of carbenicillin, sulbenicillin, propicillin, cyclacillin, 6-(α-toluenesulfonamido)-penicillanic acid (TSPA), the substituted phenylpenicillins and 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) were studied over wide pH ranges at 35° and μ=0.5. For the hydrolysis of penicillins, the psuedo first-order rate constants, k
pH at zero buffer concentration were formulated as the equation : k
pH=(k
H [H
3O
+]+k
0)ƒ
HP+(k'
0+k'
OH [OH-])ƒ
p-, where ƒ
HP and ƒ
p- are the fractions of free-acid penicillin (HP) and ionized penicillin (P-), respectively. These catalytic rate constants were compared with those reported previously for other penicillins. The activation parameters were also determined for some penicillins. In acidic solution, penicillins except TSPA were confirmed to be hydrolyzed to the penicillenic acids via hydronium ion-catalyzed rearrangement of HP the (k
H) and spontaneous rearrangement of HP (k
0). The Hammett plots for k
H and k
0 of the substituted phenylpenicillin series gave excellent linear correlations with both ρ=-1.60. The magnitude and sign of the ρ values were consistent with the intramolecular catalyzed mechanism by the neighboring side-chain amido groups. The hydrolysis of 6-APA was found to follow first-order kinetics at low initial concentration in the range of 0.005-0.01M. From the log k
pH-pH profile and the pertinent primary salt effects, the possible mechanisms for the acidic hydrolysis of 6-APA were discussed. The activation parameters were evaluated at each reaction region. At pH 5, 6-APA was found to be hydrolyzed 3-6 times faster than relatively acid-stable penicillins, which may be attributed to the inductive effect by the protonated 6-amino group. The k'
0 and k'
OH values were nearly the same in the hydrolyses of all penicillins and 6-APA. It can be concluded that the basic and neutral hydrolyses of these compounds are, respectively, simple hydroxide catalyzed and water catalyzed reactions.
