The metabolites of 7-methylbenzo [α] anthracene (MBA) by NADPH requiring microsomal system from livers of phenobarbital-treated hamsters were analyzed by using
3H-MBA. Then, these systems were applied to the reactions of MBA with the calf thymus DNA. The binding ratio of
3H-MBA to DNA was estimated at 8 mμg of MBA/mg DNA, that is, 1 mole of MBA/100000 nucleotides. The fluorescence spectra indicate an analogy of delocalized electronic system to the parent hydrocarbon, but an evident difference from the DNA-MBA epoxide in the K-region. The formation, observed on the spectra, of MBA-DNA complex by microsomal system was similar to that of MBA-DNA complex by cell cultures.

The effect of surface-active agent on the active transport of sodium in the frog skin was studied. It was assumed that alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride (alkyl-DBAC) in 10
-3M concentration inhibited the active transport of sodium accompanied with Na
+-K
+ adenosine triphosphatase (ATP ase), whereas it increased the influx and outflux of
34Na through the frog skin probably due to the structural damage on the frog skin. This effect was observed above the critical micellar concentration of this surfactant. The increased influx of
24Na was decreased by the addition of 1 μg Pi/ml of phospholipid to 10
-3M alkyl-DBAC, but it still remained at a higher level. The effect of phospholipase C on the active transport of sodium in the frog skin was different from that of alkyl-DBAC, and 0.5 mg/ml of phospholipase C also increased the influx of
24Na, whereas the increased influx of
24Na was depressed by 10

Effect of protein binding on permeation of sulfonamides through a cellophane membrane was investigated by use of a dynamic dialysis technique. The membrane permeation of sulfadimethoxine and sulfamethoxypyridazine that showed high binding to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was significantly increased by the presence of BSA in the receptor compartment, while the membrane permeation of sulfanilamide that showed little binding to BSA was not changed at all by the presence of BSA. Further the increase in the membrane permeation of sulfadimethoxine and sulfamethoxypyridazine in the presence of BSA was significantly depressed by the addition of salicylic acid. Also, salicylic acid strongly displaced sulfadimethoxine or sulfamethoxypyridazine from its protein binding sites. These results suggest that the depressive effect of salicylic acid on the membrane permeation of sulfadimethoxine and sulfamethoxypyridazine in the presence of BSA is due to its displacing activity.

Effect of six indole alkaloids and one synthetic compound on neuromuscular transmission was examined in the rat limb preparation in situ. Gardneramine inhibited the gastrocnemius contractions elicited by electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve, but exerted little or no inhibition on the contractions elicited by direct stimulation of the muscle. The inhibitory effect of gardneramine was a little stronger than that of hexamethonium and was very weak when compared with that of d-tubocurarine. Gardnerine augmented both contractions elicited by nerve and muscle stimulation. Gardnutine, hydroxygardnutine, hirsutine, and one synthetic compound showed a long-lasting depressive effect on both contractions, while isorhynchophylline was little effective. These results indicate that only gardneramine affects neuromuscular transmission chiefly.

The effect of calcium chelate ethylenediaminetetraacetate (Ca-EDTA) and D-penicillamine on the content of hexosamine-containing substances in the carrageenin granuloma in rats was tested by means of their daily local injection into pre-formed granuloma pouch during 3 or 4 days. The administration of Ca-EDTA revealed involution of pre-formed granuloma and significantly decreased the content of glycosaminoglycans (especially, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulphate A) and glycoproteins. However, when Ca-EDTA and D-penicillamine were simultaneously administered or D-penicillamine was given 8 hr after the injection of Ca-EDTA, involution of granulomatous tissue and degradation of both hexosamine-containing substances were completely inhibited. Free N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase activity in granuloma also increased by treatment with Ca-EDTA, while free enzyme activity recovered to the control level by simultaneous treatment with Ca-EDTA and D-penicillamine. These results obtained here were discussed in relation to the mode of action of D-penicillamine as an antirheumatic drug.

The germination of Bacillus megaterium spores both in nutrient broth and in a germinant (L-alanine plus inosine in phosphate buffer) was inhibited by alkyl p-hydroxybenzoates at lower concentrations than those required for inhibiting the outgrowth of germinated spores. The inhibition occurred even when the drugs were added to the spore suspensions where germination had already begun. The degree of inhibition was proportional to the logarithm of alkyl p-hydroxybenzoate concentration present in the germination medium. The concentrations required to completely inhibit germination were 4.5 mM for methyl, 1.6 mM for ethyl, 0.52 mM for propyl, 0.80 mM for isopropyl, 0.22 mM for butyl and 0.22 mM for isobutyl p-hydroxybenzoate. respectively. Free p-hydroxybenzoic acid had no inhibitory activity. There was a linear relationship between the logarithm of germination inhibiting concentration and the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain. The inhibition of spore germination by alkyl p-hydroxybenzoates was reversible, since removal of the drugs from spore environment allowed germination to proceed. The possible mechanism of the inhibitory effect of alkyl p-hydroxybenzoates on spore germination is discussed.

It was homogeneous by ultracentrifugal analysis and on glass-fiber paper electrophoresis. It was composed of L-rhamnose : D-galactose : 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid : D-galacturonic acid in the molar ratio of 8 : 16 : 10 : 23. The O-acetyl groups in it were identified and the content was 2.0%. Molecular weight of its ammonium salt was estimated at 109000. Periodate oxidation study suggested that the polysaccharide has the high branching structure, whose terminals are occupied by all of 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid units and by about three fourth of D-galacturonic acid units.

7-amino function results in the smooth reduction of the amidine C=N bond to give 7-acetamido-6, 7-dihydro derivative.

Thus, reaction of quinoxaline (V), 1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo [3, 4-d] pyrimidine (VI), 1-methyl-1H-pyrazolo [3, 4-d] pyrimidine (VII), and pyrido [2, 3-b] pyrazine (VIII) with cyanide ion gave 2, 2'-biquinoxaline (IX), 4.4'-bis [1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo [3, 4-d] pyrimidine] (X), 4, 4'-bis [1-methyl-1H-pyrazolo [3, 4-d] pyrimidine] (XI), and 2, 2'-bipyrido [2, 3-b] pyrazine (XII), respectively, although the yields of these dimers were very poor. The formation of dimer is assumed to be oxidation following a benzoin condensation-like reaction by the catalysis of cyanide ion. Also we carried out the reaction of π-deficient heterocycles with aromatic aldehyde (XVI) in the presence of cyanide ion in DMSO, and found that the expected cross benzoin condensation-like reaction has developed. Thus, 4-isoquinolinecarbonitrile (II) reacted with XVI to give α-aryl-4-cyano-1-isoquinolinemethanol (XIX) and aryl 4-cyano-1-isoquinolyl ketone (XX) together with 1, 1'-biisoquinoline-4, 4'-dicarbonitrile (IV). Similarly, V and XVI gave α-aryl-2-quinoxalinemethanol (XXI) and aryl 2-quinoxalinyl ketone (XXII), VI and XVI afforded α-aryl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo [3, 4-d] pyrimidine-4-methanol (XXX) and aryl 1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo [3, 4-d] pyrimidin-4-yl ketone (XXXI), VII and XVI produced α-aryl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazolo [3, 4-d] pyrimidine-4-methanol (XXXIV) and aryl 1-methyl-1H-pyrazolo [3, 4-d] pyrimidin-4-yl ketone (XXXV), and VIII and XVI formed aryl 2-pyrido [2, 3-b] pyrazinyl ketone (XXXIV). It seems that XIX, XXI, XXX, and XXXIV are a formal product of a cross benzoin condensation-like reaction, and XX, XXII, XXXI, XXXV, and XXXVI are oxidation product of a formal product of the reaction. And limitation of this reaction was also discussed.

Holotoxin C, another minor glycoside, has been suggested to be the similar type of glycoside as holotoxin A and B. Holotoxin A and B are distinctive by the possession of two α-linkages of D-xylose and D-quinovose in the oligosaccharide portion. Finally, comparison of the anti-microbial activity of holotoxins with the various kinds of saponins isolated from the plant materials has been presented.

A merit of the resolution method is that optically active (R) (+)-1a or (S) (+)-2b can be obtained without any recrystallizations. Some mechanistic studies and discussions on the hydrolysis were also examined. Optically active (S) (+)-2b, thus obtained, was successfully converted into (S) (+)-dehydrovomifoliol ((S) (+)-5) via (S) (+)-6-hydroxy-α-ionone ((S) (+)-9). By this chemical conversion, (S) (+)-abscisic acid could be formally synthesized from dl-1b.

Oxygen determination in thallium and thallium compounds was investigated by a modification of the Schutze-Unterzaucher method. When oxygen in thallium compounds was determined by the conventional method for organic compounds, the oxygen content in almost all samples was 1-5% less than the calculated value. A silica tube that was used for heat decomposition was subjected to erosion by thallium (I) oxide produced by the pyrolysis of thallium compounds and cracks were caused. In order to prevent this, the inside wall of the silica tube was coated with carbon which had been produced by the pyrolysis of naphthalene. Carbon powder was also added into the sample boat to reduce thallium oxides formed by the decomposition of thallium compounds. All of the oxygen in thallium and thallium compounds was determined according to the proposed method, and quite favorable results could be obtained. About 40 min was required for one determination.

Effect of N-alkyl substituents on the formation and hydrolysis rates of N-substituted aniline methanesulfonic acid derivatives were investigated in connection with substituted aniline derivatives. Their rates were satisfactorily correlated to the basicity of aniline derivatives which was corrected by hydration effect, that is Folkers, et al.'s H value.

Three glucan and a mannan preparations from baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) were examined for their effects on aminopyrine N-demethylase activity and cytochrome P-450 content of liver, and phagocytic activity in mice. Dextran and pustulan were also examined. Among the polysaccharides tested, insoluble glucan mostly decreased cytochrome P-450 content and aminopyrine N-demethylase activity, and stimulated phagocytic activity. Alkaline soluble glucan, mannan, and pustulan decreased a little of cytochrome P-450 at high dose, whereas water-soluble glucan residue produced by acetolysis affected neither cytochrome P-450 content nor phagocytosis.

Reaction of diketene with ethyl pyridineformimidates (Ia-e) resulted in the formation of 6-methyl-2-pyridyl-4H-1, 3-oxazin-4-one (IVa-c) and 2-ethoxy-6-methyl-2-pyridyl-2H-1, 3-oxazin-4 (3H)-one (IIIb, c). Similar reaction with ethyl 2-quinolineformimidate (Id) and methyl 2-pyridineacetimidate (Ie) gave 6-methyl-2-(2-quinolyl)-4H-1, 3-oxazine-4-one (IVd) and 2-methoxy-6-methyl-2-(2-pyridylmethyl)-2H-1, 3-oxazin-4 (3H)-one (IIIe), respectively. The products obtained were treated with ammonia to give 6-methyl-2-substituted-4 (3H)-pyrimidone (Va-e). Hydrolysis of IIIe gave 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-3 (or 5)-(2-pyridyl)-2 (1H)-pyridone (VIII).

2-Ethoxy-3-cephem-1β-oxide (3) was found to be thermally unstable and easily converted into isothiazolones (4, 5, 6, 9, 10), and the β-lactam derivative (8) under varying reaction conditions. Furthermore, 2-ethoxy-3-cephem (2) was treated with tert-butyl hypochlorite, giving the azetidinone-oxazoline acetate (14).

An abnormal, stereospecific chlorination of 3-hydroxy-4, 5-epoxy-6, 11βH-eudesm-1-en-6, 12-olide (5, 6, 7 and 8) with methanesulfonyl chloride (or p-toluenesulfonyl chloride)-pyridine is described. The stereochemistry of the chlorides (9, 10, 11 and 12) were confirmed by their nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and chemical reactions.
