    The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the crystallization behavior of Macrogol 6000 (polyethylene glycol 6000; PEG 6000), used as a binder, during the solidification process on the properties of mononucleic granules prepared by the fluidized hot-melt granulation (FHMG) technique. Crystallization of PEG 6000 from molten liquid was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and hot stage microscopy. The results obtained from the measurement of isothermal crystallization demonstrated that crystallization of PEG 6000 was either slow or rapid. Analysis based on solid-state decomposition showed that slow crystallization was due to the two-dimensional growth of nuclei mechanism, while rapid crystallization was due to the three-dimensional growth of nuclei mechanism. Observation of the crystallization of PEG 6000 by hot stage microscopy supported the existence of two different crystallization mechanisms. Granules containing PEG 6000 that underwent rapid crystallization during FHMG showed a significantly higher fraction powder under 150 μm in diameter. This was caused by the loss of powder particles from the surface of mononucleic granules during the solidification process, because many cracks were observed after crystallization of PEG 6000 with a short isothermal crystallization time (ICT) due to the reduced of sticking of particles. The results of this study suggested that the crystallization behavior of the binder during the solidification process of FHMG can influence the properties of the resultant granules, such as particle size distribution, content uniformity or taste masking. It was also indicated that measuring the ICT using DSC was a useful method to classify PEG 6000.

    Eight new solid complexes of pipemidic acid (PPA) with trichlorizated rare earth metals LaCl3, CeCl3, PrCl3, NdCl3, SmCl3, TbCl3, DyCl3, and YCl3 have been synthesized. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, NMR, and molar conductance measurements. The general formulas of the complexes are [M(PPA)4]Cl3 (M=Ce(III), Pr(III), Nd(III), Sm(III), Tb(III), Dy(III), Y(III)), and [La(PPA)4Cl]Cl2. At the same time, the antibacterial activities of PPA and four of its complexes were tested. The results show that PPA and its complexes all have inhibitory action against bacteria of Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa but not Staphylococcus aureus. We compared their antibacterial activities and found that the antibacterial activity of [La(PPA)4Cl]Cl2 against S. pneumoniae is much stronger than that of PPA and the other complexes.

    Two new dioxopyrrolines (1-aryl-4-methoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrrole-2,3-dione 6 and the 5-methoxycarbonyl isomer 8) behaved as good dienophiles to some kind of 1,3-dienes examined. In most cases, the products were explained by the reaction where the largest lobe of HOMO of dienes reacted to the larger LUMO of dienophiles in an expected cis-endo manner. However, in the reactions of 8 with alkylbutadienes, piperylene and isoprene, abnormality in the reaction was observed, which was well explained by taking account of steric factors.

    By anaerobic incubation of pinoresinol diglucoside (1) from the bark of Eucommia ulmoides with a fecal suspension of humans, eleven metabolites were formed, and their structures were identified as (+)-pinoresinol (2), (+)-lariciresinol (3), 3′-demethyl-(+)-lariciresinol (4), (−)-secoisolariciresinol (5), (−)-3-(3″, 4″-dihydroxybenzyl)-2-(4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxybenzyl)butane-1, 4-diol (6), 2-(3′, 4′-dihydroxybenzyl)-3-(3″, 4″-dihydroxybenzyl)butane-1, 4-diol (7), 3-(3″-hydroxybenzyl)-2-(4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxybenzyl)butane-1, 4-diol (8), 2-(3′, 4′-dihydroxybenzyl)-3-(3″-hydroxybenzyl)butane-1, 4-diol (9), (−)-enterodiol (10), (−)-(2R, 3R)-3-(3″, 4″-dihydroxybenzyl)-2-(4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxybenzyl)butyrolactone (11), (−)-(2R, 3R)-2-(3′, 4′-dihydroxybenzyl)-3-(3″, 4″-dihydroxybenzyl)butyrolactone (12), (−)-(2R, 3R)-3-(3″-hydroxybenzyl)-2-(4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxybenzyl)butyrolactone (13), 2-(3′, 4′-dihydroxybenzyl)-3-(3″-hydroxybenzyl)butyrolactone (14), 2-(3′-hydroxybenzyl)-3-(3″, 4″-dihydroxybenzyl)butyrolactone (15) and (−)-(2R, 3R)-enterolactone (16) by various spectroscopic means, including two dimensional (2D)-NMR, mass spectrometry and circular dichroism. A possible metabolic pathway was proposed on the basis of their structures and time course experiments monitored by thin-layer chromatography. Furthermore, a bacterial strain responsible for the transformation of (+)-pinoresinol to (+)-lariciresinol was isolated from a human fecal suspension and identified as Enterococcus faecalis strain PDG-1.

    A series of 43 stilbene derivatives that showed cytotoxicity against human lung carcinoma (A549) was analyzed using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) for defining the hypothetic pharmacophore model. The polyoxylated stilbenes were found to be active inhibitors of tubulin polymerization. Several cis-stilbenes are structurally similar to combretastatins. However, the trans-stilbenes are assumed to be close to resveratrol found in grapes and have been reported to be potential cancer chemopreventive agents by modulating the initiation, promotion, and progression of the carcinogenic process. With several synthesized compounds that were evaluated for antitumor cytotoxicity against human lung tumor cells (A549), the stilbene derivatives were subjected to CoMFA. To perform systematic molecular modeling of these compounds, a conformational search was carried out based on the precise dihedral angle analysis of the lead compound (1p). The X-ray crystallographic structure of combretastatin A-1 was also used for defining the active conformers of the compounds. After determining the energy-minimized conformers of the lead compound (1p), CoMFA was performed using five different alignments. The three dimensional (3D)-quantitative structure–activity relationship study resulted in reasonable cross-validated, conventional r2 values equal to 0.640 and 0.958, respectively.

    A series of novel spiroadamantyl- and spirocyclical substituted pyranoquinolin-2-ones were synthesized and the conformation of the pyran ring was investigated. The free radical scavenging activity of the synthesized compounds was determined by their interaction with the stable free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). All compounds tested scavenged the DPPH radical and among them derivatives possessing extended conjugation showed the highest activity.

    As a result of a bioactivity-guided search for novel, plant-derived cancer chemopreventive agents, ixocarpalactone A (5) was isolated previously as a potent quinone reductase inducer from the leaves and stems of Physalis philadelphica. In the present study, this promising lead compound was reisolated in gram quantities for in vivo biological testing. During the course of this work, four additional minor new withanolides were also obtained and characterized, namely, 2,3-dihydro-3β-methoxyixocarpalactone A (1), 2,3-dihydro-3β-methoxyixocarpalactone B (2), 2,3-dihydroixocarpalactone B (3), and 4β,7β,20R-trihydroxy-1-oxowitha-2,5-dien-22,26-olide (4). However, compounds 1 and 2 were determined using liquid chromatography (LC)-MS-MS to be artifacts generated during the extraction and isolation procedure. Ixocarpalactone A was detected in the fresh fruits (tomatillos) of P. philadelphica by LC-MS-MS analysis at a concentration of 143±4.53 ppb.

    Stereocontrol in radical reactions of oxime ether anchored to polymer support was studied. Highly diastereoselective solid-phase radical reaction was achieved by using triethylborane and diethylzinc as a radical initiator at low reaction temperature, providing a novel method for the synthesis of the α-amino acid derivatives with excellent diastereoselectivities.

    Here, we first report a novel method in which the “desired cross-spectrum” of the peptides Prp106—126, MSI-78A, and oxaldie 1 with the same biological activities is obtained by the multiplication of two cross-spectra derived from the RNA sequence and from the cognate amino acid sequence by discrete Fourier transform (DFT), respectively. Based on a well-known method reported previously, we investigated the cross-spectrum by the multiplication of two of three desired cross-spectra. As a result, we found that one prominent peak occurring in the three cross-spectra showed the same frequency when a binary scale was used as a parameter of nucleotide or amino acid in the analysis. Moreover, we examined the relationship between a binary scale and other physicochemical ones. Almost the same results could be reproduced when the absolute elctronegativity scale (or the absolute hardness one) was used, but not in the case of the hydrophobic or electron–ion interacting potential scale reported previously. This indicates that either the absolute electronegativity scale (or the absolute hardness one) or a binary scale, or both is very useful in extracting the information desired for various proteins by the present method from the amino acid and the RNA sequence.

    A novel series of 5-(ω-aryloxyalkyl)oxazole derivatives was prepared and their effects on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) production were evaluated in human neuroblastoma (SK-N-SH) cells. Syntheses were performed by construction of an oxazole ring as a key reaction. Most of the 5-(ω-aryloxyalkyl)oxazole derivatives markedly increased BDNF production in SK-N-SH cells. 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-5-[3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)propyl]-1, 3-oxazole, one of the most promising compounds, showed potent activity (EC50=7.9 μM) and the improvement of the motor nerve conduction velocity and the tail-flick response accompanied by a recovery of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor level in the sciatic nerve of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats.
