    Thermodynamic parameters were determined by variable temperature experiments on the gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) relative retention values, log γ, of mono-substituted benzene derivatives. The free energy change ΔΔG°s which is estimated from the enthalpy ΔΔH°s and the entropy ΔΔS°s at 298 K is less than -15kJ·mol-1, corresponding to an interaction between the sample and the liquid stationary phase. With regards to the co-linearlity with the standard entropy S°(B··C) of the complex, between the sample and the liquid stationary phase, an excellent linear relationship of ΔΔS°s with the electron-donating and -withdrawing groups was obtained. The log γ can also be expressed by the linear combination of the descriptors σ, μ2/α, and σR which are the dispersion and repulsion, the induction and orientation, and the charge transfer interaction energies respectively, and from the evaluation of the standard coefficient by the z-score of log γ, (Edis+Erep)>ECT>(Eind+Eori). Under non-polar conditions, (Edis+Erep) was dominant while under polar conditions, the ratio of [(Eind+Eori)+ECT] increased to the level of (Edis+Erep).

    The solution conformation of 5'-O-[N-(L-alanyl)sulfamoyl]adenosine (ala-SA), an analogue of alanyl-AMP, was studied by 1H-NMR spectroscopic and energy calculation methods for elucidating the substrate-specificity of the cognate alanyl-tRNA synthetase. The ala-SA molecule existed in several conformational equilibria such as anti⇌syn, C3'-endo⇌C2'-endo and gauche·gauche⇌gauche·trans (or trans·gauche) orientations concerning the glycosyl bond, ribose puckering and exocyclic C4'-C5' bond, respectively. However, their populations were solvent-dependent, and the major form in D2O solution could be characterized as the anti-C2'-endo-gauche·gauche conformation, although no predominant conformation, except for C2'-endo ribose puckering, existed in dimethyl sulfoxide solution. Possible conformers satisfying the NMR data were surveyed using empirical energy calculations, and the solution conformation of the ala-SA molecule was compared with its crystal conformation.

    Dietylstilbestrol oxide is a metabolic intermediate of diethylstilbestrol. In order to elucidate the effects of optically active diethylstilbestrol oxides on microtubule assembly and cell culture, we synthesized (±)-diethylstilbestrol oxide(2a). Since 2a was not stable under moderately acidic and basic conditions, the monomethyl ether (2c) of diethylstilbestrol oxide, which was more stable than 2a, was separated by high-pressure liquid chromatography using a chiral column.The mono (4-bromobenzoate) of (-)-2c was analyzed by X-ray crystallography and its absolute structure was determined as C (1R, 1'R).

    Fischer indolization of the hydrazones of 8-allyl-1-amino-, 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroquinoline and related compounds was investigated. Fischer indolization induced Cope rearrangement of the allyl group and acid-catalyzed intramolecular cycloaddition between the hydrazonyl group and the vinyl group. The base treatment of the latter reaction product caused eliminative ring-opening of the adduct and led to the formation of an indoline skeleton bearing a 2-ketoalkyl group at the C-2 position.

    α-Methylene-γ-lactones fuses to five- and six-membered carbocycles were efficiently synthesized from β-ethoxycarbonyl-ω-formylallylsilane derivatives by means of the intramolecular Hosomi reaction. The formylated allylsilanes (11a, b, 12a and b) were synthesized from ethyl β-trimethylsilylpropionate and ω-tetrahydropyranyloxy-pentanal (4a) and -hexanal (4b) in several steps. The cyclization reaction of these aldehydes was performed under mild conditions with a high degree of stereocontrol. Treatment of the (E)- and (Z)-isomers of the allysilanes (11a and 12a) with titanium tetrachloride or boron trifluoride etherate gave a five-membered cis-hydroxy ester (13a). Treatment of the (Z)-allylsilane derivative (11b) with titanium tetrachloride afforded a six-membered cis-hydroxy ester (13b) as a major product together with the trans-isomer (14b), and treatment with boron trifluoride etherate selectively gave the cis-isomer (13b). On the other hand, treatment of (E)-allylsilane (12b) with titanium tetrachloride selectively gave the cis-hydroxy ester (13b), while the use of boron trifluoride etherate exclusively afforded the trans-isomer (14b).These stereoselectivities can be explained in terms of chelated transition models. Lactonization of these hydroxy esters afforded the corresponding fused α-methylene-γ-lactones (16a, 17a and b) in good yields.

    Reaction of 9-phenylthioxanthene 10-oxide (1) with a variety of Grignard reagents afforded 9-substituted 9-phenylthioxanthenes (2). Similarly, organolithiums reacted with the sulfoxide 1 to give the corresponding thioxanthenes 2. The structures of 9-aryl-9-phenylthioxanthenes (2d-i) were confirmed by the alternative synthesis of the samples via the acid-catalyzed cyclization of triarylmethanol derivatives 5. A possible mechanism by way of a 9-phenylthioxanthylium ion intermediate is proposed for the reaction of the sulfoxide 1 with organometallic reagents.

    The photocycloaddition reactions of 4, 5-diethoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrrole-2, 3-dione (6) to cycloalkadienes and cycloalkenes were examined. The addition of cyclopentadiene gave the hydroindole 8a (s+a product) as a major product and the cis-fused cyclobutane 7a (s+s product) as a minor one. In contrast, the addition of cyclohexadiene gave the cyclobutane 7b (s+s product) as a major product and the hydroidole 8b (s+a product) as a minor one. The photocycloaddition of cyclopentene, cyclohexene, and indene proceeded predominantly in an s+s manner to give the cis-syn-cis cyclobutanes, 16, 18, and 19, respectively. The stereochemical results were compared with those of the photocycloaddition reaction of 4-ethoxycarbonyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrrole-2, 3-dione (1) to the corresponding cyclo-olefins, revealing that the steric relationship of the addends plays an important role in determining the stereochemical pathway of the reaction.

An aldehyde 14, derived from L-serine was condensed with 2-lithio-1-(phenylsulfonyl)indole (10) to afford diastereomers 15a and 15b, whose stereochemistry was unambiguously determined by 1H-NMR studies of the 1, 3-dioxane derivatives 17a, 17b, and 18 as well as the X-ray crystallographic analysis of a dihydropyrrolo[1, 2-α]indole derivative 31a. The latter compound was prepared from 15a via the following operations(Chart 5) : (i) removal of the acetonide and the indole-protecting groups, followed by acetylation to form 29a, (ii) Vilsmeier reaction to produce 30a, and (iii) hydrolysis of acetyl groups, partial methanesulfonylation (mesylation), and treatment with potassium carbonate in acetonitrile. A diastereomer 31b was obtained from 15b in a similar manner.Both isomers 31a and 31b afforded the desired compound 8 upon treatment with a mesylation reagest followed by potassium tert-butoxide in tetrahydrofuran.

    Sperabillin A, 3-[[(3R, 5R)-3-amino-6-[(2E, 4Z)-2, 4-hexadienoylamino]-5-hydroxyhexanoyl]amino]propanamidine dihydrochloride, was polymerized on standing for several days under a highly humid atmosphere or in the presence of radical initiators. The average molecular weight of the polymers obtained could be regulated by changing the reaction conditions in the latter case. Spectral analyses of the polymers revealed that the 2, 4-hexadienoyl moiety of sperabillins was polymerized in a free radical-initiated reaction. The polymers selectively inhibited the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVE) cells. Polymers having higher molecular weight showed stronger inhibition of HUVE cell proliferation. In addition, the polymers showed anti-tumor activity against B16 melanoma in vivo.

    Chelating glass beads (SAB) containing salicylideneamino-2-thiophenol (SATP) as a functional group were synthesized for the selective adsorption and separation of ionic aluminum (Al3+). SAB was prepared by reacting amino-propyl-CPG (controlled pore glass) with SATP, shielded from light in toluene at 110°C for 12 h. The exchange capacity of SAB for Al3+ was about 1.1 mmol/g (support). When SAB was packed into a column, only Al3+ was retained out of all the metal ions examined, at pH 5.5 with hydroxylamine hydrochloride present. Aluminum ion was then eluted quantitatively with nitric acid. Aluminum samples below 1 ppm were concentrated by a factor of 100. This column method applied to the preconcentration of Al3+ in drinking water.

    Solid dispersions were prepared by the evaporation of ethanol after dissolving into ethanol a water soluble medicine(oxprenolol hydrochloride (OXP)), four grades of water insoluble ethylcellulose (EC) and four grades of water soluble hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), both having different molecular weights. The precise control of the release rate of a water soluble medicine by applying the difference in the molecular weight of polymers was attempted. The pore size distribution in solid dispersion granules was measured before and after the dissolution test by mercury intrusion porosimetry to clarify the mechanism of medicine release from the granules when the molecular weights of polymers were different. The state of medicine in the solid dispersions was analyzed by thermal analysis and X-ray diffractometry.Although the difference was slight, the release rate of OXP from the granules of the OXP-HPC system decreased as the molecular weight of HPC increased. The release behavior of OXP in the OXP-EC system was scarcely affected by the molecular weight of EC. However, in the OXP-EC-HPC system, the release rate markedly decreased with a larger molecular weight of EC. It was thought from the results of the pore size distribution that there were two types of release routes for OXP; dissolving directly into the dissolution medium, and diffusing in the swelled HPC phase, caused by the addition of HPC. The decrease in the release rate of OXP in the OXP-EC-HPC system was caused by the increase in the ratio of OXP dissolving via the latter route, occurring with a larger molecular weight of EC.These results suggest that it is feasible to precisely control the release of a water soluble medicine by varying the molecular weight of the polymers in the solid dispersion.

    The granulation from mixed crude drug powders was carried out by fluidized bed and agitation methods. The effects of the physical properties of the binder solution, such as the contact angle on the powder compact, the viscosity, on the granule characteristics, the average granule size, angle of repose, bulk density, granule strength, compressibility, and strength of compact, were examined.Correlation between the physical properties of the products obtained by fluidized bed granulation and agitation granulation, and those of the binder solution were analysed by using the correlation formula derived from multiple regression analysis. A highly confident multiple correlation was found and the relationship between physical properties of the binder solution and those of the granules can be expressed quantitatively.It suggests the possibility that formulation of powder materials for production of granules having desirable physical properties can be easily determined and, also, the granulating manipulation which has been performed experimentally or qualitatively, can be done quantitatively and rationally, by using the results.

    The interaction and the self-association of a variety of compounds in aqueous solution were investigated by the freezing point depression method using a commercially available osmometer. This method, described in our earlier publication, was used to determine the stability constant and self-association constant, which were based on the colligative properties of solution and calculated from the decrease of osmotic pressure obtained in terms of the freezing point depression. Stability constants were measured for complexes of α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrin with non-aromatic carbonic acids (acetic acid, formic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, citric acid), anions (I-, NO-3, ClO-4, CNO-, SCN-, Cr2O2-7) and amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan), and the self-association constant for caffeine was measured. These values gave good reproducibility and rapid estimation with a simple procedure. It was concluded that the freezing point depression method is useful for estimation of the stability constant and the self-association constant for drugs in aqueous solution.

The spiroketal (3) was converted to the olefin (4) via thermolysis of the sulfinyl group, C1-unit elongation at the C9-position, and isomerization at the spiro center. On the other hand, 3 was isomerized to 7 at the C9-position and then converted to the olefin (5) in a similar manner to that described for (+)-talaromycin A. These intermediates (4 and 5) were transformed into (+)-talaromycin A and (-)-talaromycin B via addition reaction of trifluoroacetic acid and oxymercuration, respectively.

    In solid-phase peptide synthesis, the addition of m-cresol to dilluted methanesulfonic acid (MSA) in dichloromethane accelerated the deprotection rate of the acid-labine α-amino protecting group, the p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl(Z(OMe)) group. Further, 0.1 M MSA, 20% m-cresol/CH2Cl2 was found to be a practically useful Nα-deprotecting reagent system, since the deprotection of the Z(OMe) group occurred selectively within 30 min at room temperature, leaving intact the other side chain protecting groups, such as benzyloxycarbonyl, benzyl ester, S-p-methoxybenzyl and NG-mesitylene-2-sulfonyl groups. This reagent system was applied to the Z(OMe)-based solid phase syntheses of human pancreastatin-29 and magainin 1.

    To elucidate the conformational properties of DNA with a 2-deoxyribosylformamide residue (dF), an oligodeoxyribonucleotide containing this abasic residue in a specific position of the nucleotide sequence was synthesized by the standard solid-phase phosphotriester method. Deprotection of the synthesized oligonucleotide was performed under routine alkaline and acidic conditions. The presence of a dF residue in the oligomer was confirmed by ion-spray mass spectrometry. A dF residue was found to affect considerably the stability of the DNA duplex, as determined from the melting behavior of the dF-containing duplex.

    2, 3-Dichloro-5, 6-dicyano-1, 4-benzoquinone (DDQ) oxidation of 3, 8-dioxyoerythrinan-1(6)-enes in dioxane gave the ring B dehydrogenated products, the 1, 6-dienones, while oxidation in benzene gave the fully dehydrogenated products, the 1, 6, 10-trienones. The same trienones were obtained by DDQ oxidation of the 1, 6-dienones in bezene. On the contrary, oxidation of the isomeric enone, 3, 8-dioxoerythrinan-1-ene, in either dioxane or benzene gave the ring C dehydrogenated product, the 1, 10-dienone. The 1, 6, 10-trienones were transformed to the highly dehydrogenated 8-oxoerythrinan alkaloids, erytharbine and crystamidine, in racemic forms.

    The structure of the N-amino pyridone (4a) obtained by the reaction of camptothecin (1a) with hydrazine was determined by X-ray crystallography. A mixture of 7-etylcamptothecin (1b) and hydrazine hydrate was stirred at room temperature, and the hydrazide (2b) was isolated as its diacetate 2c. Treatment of the 17-O-acetyl amide (5a) with hydrazine gave 1b (74% yield) and the N-amino lactam 6 (11% yield). Compounds with bulky acyl groups, 5c-e, gave 6 in modest yields. The N-amino lactam 6 was smoothly dehydrated into the pyridone 4d by refluxing in hydrazine hydrate.

    We investigated the structure-antimicrobial activity relationship of tachyplesin I (T-I). Even when Lys1 and Trp2 were both deleted from the N-terminal end of T-I, the antimicrobial activity against gram-negative bacteria was not decreased. But as Lys1 and Trp2 were deleted one by one, the antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria and antiviral activity were gradually decreased. Deletion of two disulfide bridges caused a significant decrease in all activities. The circular dichroism (CD) spectra revealed that the analogs containing the two disulfide bidges took a β-sheet structure and that the analogs without the disulfide bridges took a random coil conformation. These results suggest that the β-sheet structure maintained by two disulfide bridges plays an important role in the antimicrobial activity of T-I.

    Through bioassay-guided separations of the chemical constituents of the Indonesian medicinal plant Beilschmiedia madang BL. a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid was obtained as the major antimalarial principle. The physicochemical properties of the alkaloid were consistent with the proposed structure of dehatrine (1). However, the alkaloid isolated by us was shown to be a mixture of two rotational isomers. The X-ray crystallographic analysis of 1 has shown that two rotamers are incorporated in a single crystal in 1 : 1 ratio. The complex NMR spectrum of 1 has also been defined as a mixture of two rotamers by extensive use of 2D (COSY and COLOC) techniques. Dehatrine (1) has been shown to significantly inhibit the growth of cultured Plasmodium falciparum K1 strain (cholorquine resistant) with similar activity to quinine.

    We optimized HPLC conditions for the first time to achieve satisfactory separation of six surfactins, two of which were novel, isolated from Bacillus subtilis natto. Peptide sequences were analyzed by sophisticated MS-MS analysis, performed with a pair of two surfactins with different fatty acid substitutions. Fragment peaks were divided into two series; one was a series of the ions which carried fatty acid, and thus were characterized by the fatty acid mass difference, and the other was a series of the ions which consisted of pure peptide and thus showed a superimposable pattern between a pair of surfactins.
