2+, and Zn
2+) are investigated. The metal-oxygen stretching bands have been assigned tentatively to the 294-219cm
-1. Structure of these metal chelates have been proposed from the magnetic moments, the number of metal-oxygen stretching bands and the spectral pattern in the 600-400 cm
-1 region. The structure of copper chelates, except for 11-hydroxybenzo [a] phenazine copper chelate, is trans square planar. The relationship between the M-O stretching band and atomic number of central metal has been discussed.

S-Aminomethylthiamine : N-[(2-Methyl-4-amino-5-pyrimidinyl) methyl]-N-[1-methyl-2-(dialkylaminomethyl) thio-4-hydroxy-1-butenyl] formamide (IIIa-d) were successfully synthesized by the reaction of an alkaline solution of thiamine (I) with chloroform solution of chloromethyldialkylamine (VIa-d), which were freshly prepared from methylenebisdialkylamine (Va-d) and acetyl chloride. The compounds (IIIa-d) were soluble in organic solvents and also soluble in water with the exception of IIIb. When III was dissolved in water, III afforded a small amount of cyclobismethylenethiamine (II) and mostly decomposed to I. The behaviour of IIIa in water was confirmed by means of polarographic technique. N-Hydroxymethylthiamine : 3-[(2-Methyl-4-hydroxymethylamino-5-pyrimidinyl)-methyl]-4-methyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl) thiazolium chloride (VII) was also prepared from thiamine monochloride (I-Cl) and formalin. Compound VII gave also II in the presence of diethylamine. The formation pathway of II from I was also discussed.

It was found that the reaction of S-aminomethylthiamine (II) with acid anhydride afforded the corresponding S-acylthiamine (III) or, O, S-diacylthiamine (IV). Furthermore the reaction of II with anhydrides (VII, IX, XII) of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-or N-t-butyloxycarbonyl-L-amino acid in tetrahydrofuran at -5-5° gave successfully the novel thiamine compounds with amino acid residues : O, S-bis (α-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-aminoacyl) thiamine (VIII) or O, S-bis (α-N-t-butyloxycarbonylaminoacyl) thiamine (X). O, S-Bis (α-aminoacyl) thiamine trihydrochloride (XI·3HCl) was obtained in good yield by the treatment of X with hydrogen chloride in ethyl acetate at -10°. Thiamine activities of VIII·HCl and XI·3HCl in thiamine deficient rats were similar to those of equimolar thiamine chloride hydrochloride (I-Cl·HCl).

Reaction product of the coloration of cholesterol in 90% liquefied trichloroacetic acid (conc. TCA) and its mixture with hydrochloric acid were investigated in order to find the relationship between the coloration and the reaction products. It was found that 3, 5-cholestadiene was the main product in all of TCA-containing media and 3, 3'-bis (3, 5-cholestadiene) was the minor product in conc. TCA-HCl (10 : 1) medium, while any of bissteroid was not found in the reaction with conc. TCA-HCl (1 : 1) medium. The colored solution of these compounds showed the similar absorption spectrum to that of cholesterol in the respective medium. Cholesteryl chloride, which developed a red color gradually on dissolving in conc. TCA-HCl (10 : 1) and (1 : 1) media, was also obtained from the colored solution of cholesterol in all of HCl-containing media, and 3, 5-cholestadiene was isolated from the colored solution of cholesteryl chloride. These results suggested that cholesteryl chloride might not be a direct coloring substance but 3, 5-cholestadiene or a coloring intermediate derived from cholesteryl chloride in these media might contribute to the coloration.

The NIH shift during the aryl hydroxylations of the specifically deuterated or tritiated 3'-methyl-4-(dimethylamino) azobenzene (3'-Me-DAB) and 3-methylacetanilide by a rat in vivo or in vitro has been investigated. 3'-Me-4'-OH-DAB was excreted in the bile and 3-methyl-4-hydroxyacetanilide in urine when 3'-Me-DAB [4'-
2H] was administered orally and 3-methylacetanilide [4-
2H, 4-

2H, 4-
3H, or 5-
2H] with liver microsomes. Retention of heavy hydrogen in the 4'-or 4-hydroxylated metabolite was determined by mass spectrometry or radioactivity counting. The NIH shift was observed also during these hydroxylations. In in vitro hydroxylation of 4'-labeled 3'-Me-DAB, tritium was retained 94.1±2.7% and deuterium 43.7±3.4%. Therefore, isotope effect in retention was great in this reaction. In the case of 3-methylacetanilide, such isotope effect was not observed, and heavy hydrogen was retained 19-23% in the 4-hydroxylated metabolite in vivo or in vitro. Isotopic hydrogens at the position adjacent to hydroxylation in both substrates were stable under the employed conditions. It was demonstrated that 3-methylacetanilide belongs to class I substrate and 3'-Me-DAB to class II because of the effect of substituent on their retention of isotopic hydrogen.

A new method to investigate the active excretory process of drugs from the hepatocytes into the bile canaliculi has been developed. This method is, briefly speaking, to retrogradely infuse several reagents through a tubing which is cannulated into the common bile duct and the bile-canalicular membrane of the hepatocytes is thought to be mainly solubilized or modified by infusing surfactants, organic solvents, proteases, lipase, metabolic inhibitors and thiol reagents, because both polyacrylamide gel electrophoretical patterns and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoretical patterns of the bile which was obtained following intrabiliary retrograde infusion of Triton X-100 and SDS display the existance of more proteins than that of normal bile. Moreover, the active excretion of organic anionic dyes, bromphenol blue and uranine, from the hepatocytes into bile was almost inhibited by infusing surfactants retrogradely. The active excretory system is thought to have the following characteristics : it could be solubilized by surfactants and organic solvents, ethanol-ether (3 : 1) and acetone and it is affected by phospholipase D or thiol reagents, p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonic acid and N-ethylmaleimide. A bile-canalicular membrane protein to which the three organic anionic dyes, bromphenol blue, uranine and eosine, are bound has been detected in the Triton X-100 solubilized membrane fraction by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the molecular weight is estimated to be about 80000 by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

The hepato-biliary transport characteristics in vivo and the uptake process by liver slices and by liver cell suspensions were studied in rats using procaineamide ethobromide, its N-acetyl compound and quinine. These organic cations were transported from plasma to liver and from plasma to bile against a concentration gradient, and their biliary excretion was depressed by an administration of the other organic cations in accordance with earlier studies. However the hepatic uptake of quinine was extremely high, 39 of the liver/plasma concentration ratio, as compared with 8.6 of PAEB and 1.7 of APAEB. When taken up by liver slices or liver cell suspensions, PAEB and quinine showed completely different patterns. Slice/medium ratio of PAEB obtained by liver slices attained 3.6 after 4 hours and cell/medium ratio obtained by liver cell suspensions did not attain one. On the other hand, slice/medium and cell/medium ratios of quinine attained about 20 and the high slice/medium ratio was only slightly decreased in an atmosphere of nitrogen or in the presence of DNP. The hepatic high uptake of quinine observed both in vivo and in vitro is mostly explainable by lipid-binding mechanism as the binding to liver lipids showed quite a high value, 77%.

The effect of K
+ on the absorption of acetanilide, salicylamide, sulfisoxazole, and quinine from rat small intestine was studied using principally the in situ perfusion technique. 1) The intestinal absorption of those drugs was considerably reduced by K
+. 2) The decrease in the blood flow of the small intestine, which is induced by the depression of cardiac action based on the absorption of K
+ from the K or Na-K phosphate buffer solution, markedly inhibits the in situ intestinal absorption of the drugs. 3) It is suggested that the decrease in the intestinal tissue respiration in the presence of K
+ produces a depression of functional integrity of the intestinal membrane resulting in the histological changes of the intestinal mucosa, and that a decrease in the absorptive surface area based on the morphological changes in the villi somewhat reduces the absorption of the drugs.

By substitution reaction with nucleophilic reagents such as lithium chloride and piperidine, morphine-6-conjugates were found to be convertible easily to 6-chloro-6-deoxy-morphine and 8-piperidino-6-deoxy-Δ
6-morphine, respectively. The reaction rates of these conjugates were roughly parallel with the analgesic activity, decreasing in the order sulfate>glucuronide≒acetate>phosphate>morphine. Furthermore, in the hope that the similar binding of morphine and its 6-conjugates to nucleophilic sites of the brain macromolecule which is closely related to the analgesic receptor might occur, the binding experiment to rat brain homogenates was conducted using morphine and morphine-6-glucuronide which is known to possess stronger analgesic activity than morphine. As the result, the 6-glucuronide showed greater affinity to rat brain but lesser extent of binding to rat liver and bovine serum albumin than morphine.

2-Amino-3, 3-dichloroacrylonitrile (ADAN), a versatile polyfunctional synthetic intermediate, was prepared in 96% yield by addition of HCN to the C-N triple bond of dichloroacetonitrile (11a). The structural proof for ADAN, an enamino nitrile, comes from comparison of the spectral data with those of 2-imino-3, 3, 3-trichloropropionitrile (15), a model compound for α-imino nitrile. Similarly, 2-amino-3, 3-dibromoacrylonitrile (13) was prepared from dibromoacetonitrile (11b) and HCN in 82% yield. ADAN, although relatively unstable in air at room temperature, can be stored without detectable change for a long period in nitrogen or ether vapor atmosphere at low temperatures. 2-Amino-3, 3-bis (substituted mercapto) acrylonitriles (18a-c), mercapto-analogues of ADAN, were prepared from ADAN or its N-acyl derivatives (16, 19) by nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atoms with mercaptides, and in the latter case, with subsequent hydrolysis of the N-acyl group. Hydrolysis of the cyano group of N-acyl derivatives (16, 21, 22) gave the corresponding carboxamides (23), carboxylic acids (24), and N-t-butylcarboxamides (26) in good yields.

2-Acetylamino-3, 3-dichloroacrylonitrile (1a) reacted with 2 molar eq. of mercaptides and alkoxides to yield 2-acetylamino-3, 3-bis-(substituted mercapto) acrylonitriles (2) and 2-acetylamino-3, 3, 3-trialkoxypropionitriles (4), respectively, in high yields. In contrast to these results, we found that the reaction of 1a with various aliphatic primary and secondary amines including ammonia and hydrazine gave 2-methyl-5-(substituted amino) oxazole-4-carbonitriles (6) in almost quantitative yields under mild conditions. Reaction of 1a with bifunctional amines such as ethylenediamine and aminoethanethiol generated other types of cyclization products, e.g., imidazolidine and thiazolidine derivatives (8a, b), as major products. Treating 1 or 2-amino-3, 3-dichloroacrylonitrile (ADAN) with various acid anhydrides in the presence of conc. sulfuric acid catalyst resulted in a new one-step synthesis of imidic compounds, 2-acylamino-3, 3-dihalogeno-N-acylacrylamides (21). The reaction of 21 with aliphatic secondary amines yielded 2-substituted-5-(substituted amino) oxazole-4-N-acylcarboxamides (32). The mechanism of the cyclization to oxazoles and the formation of imidic compounds are discussed.

Moreover, small ribosomal subunits from the muscle of normal and diabetic rats contained just the same proportion of the monomer and dimer particles when assayed under the same ionic conditions. The proportion of the monomer and the dimer of the small ribosomal subunits changed with change in the concentration of potassium and magnesium at which ribosomal subunits were prepared ; the content of the monomer decreased with lowering the ratio of magnesium concentration and was only 10.1% when the preparation was conducted in the medium containing 880 mM KCl and 3mM MgCl

The leaves of Stevia paniculata (Compositae) which are not sweet unlike the leaves of S. rebaudiana, were shown to contain several glycosides. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the crude glycosides fraction of the leaves gave four aglycones A (II), B (XVI), C (XV) and D (IV). It was proved that II and IV were identical with the known diterpene acids, ent-15α-hydroxykaur-16-en-19-oic acid and ent-16α, 17-dihydroxykauran-19-oic acid, respectively. On the basis of the chemical and physical investigation as well as the comparison of the known kaurene-type diterpenes, XV and XVI could be formulated as ent-11α, 15α-dihydroxykaur-16-en-19-oic acid and its 15-oxo derivative, respectively. From the ether-soluble fraction, taraxasterol and its acetate were also isolated and identified.

The Mannich reaction of isopelletierine (V) with 6-bromoveratraldehyde (VI) in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide gave the cis-and trans-quinolizidine (VII and VIII) in the ratio of 5 : 2. Reduction of VII with sodium borohydride afforded the axial alcohol (IX) along with the equatorial alcohol (X). The Ullmann condensation of the acetyl derivative (XI) from IX with methyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate furnished the biphenyl ether (XIII). Hydrolysis of XIII and lactonization of the resulting hydroxy-acid (XV) provided (±)-vertaline (IV).

When the 105000g supernatant from rat brain cerebral cortex was fractionated using chromatography on a Sephadex G-25 Superfine, similar low molecular factors activated adenyl cyclase and adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) phosphodiesterase in rat brain synaptosomes. Therefore a comparative study of the effects of these factors with those of sodium fluoride (NaF) or imidazole was carried out. These factors additively enhanced NaF stimulated adenyl cyclase and did activate the particulate (synaptosomal) cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase but not soluble enzyme. These results suggest that these factors act on a distinctly different site from that of NaF and imidazole.

Pyridoxal (PL) or pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) reacts with glycine in the presence of zinc (II) ion in pyridine-methanol and gives a highly fluorescence with excitation maximum at 390nm and emission maximum at 475nm. The fluorogen of this reaction is N-pyridoxylidene zinc (II) chelate. Nanomoles of PL or PLP can be estimated spectrofluorophotometrically by using this reaction which is also very specific. Other amino acids, sugars and related substances caused no influence on the determination of PL or PLP. Application of the method to biological samples, such as blood and tissue, is suggested.
