A colorimetric determination of orotic acid reported by Tsuji which consists of three steps, bromination of orotic acid, reduction by thioglycollate and condensation with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde to yield an orange color, was examined in detail and improved in several points. Ascorbic acid gave better results than thioglycollate in the step of reduction. Satisfactory results were obtained when the improved method was applied to several multivitamin preparations.

The improved p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde method for colorimetric determination of orotic acid was reported in the previous report. This paper describes the mechanism of the color development. It was elucidated that bromination of orotic acid results in the production of 5,5-dibromobarbituric acid and the brominated compound is reduced with ascorbic acid to barbituric acid which condenses with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde to yield an orange color, 5-(p-dimehytlaminobenzylidene)-barbituric acid.

To study on the effect of vitamin E on blood coagulation in vivo, 300mg of vitamin E was given by intramuscular injection to rabbits for 9 days and changes of blood coagulation factors were investigated. Blood coagulation time, recalcified clotting time and thrombin time were prolonged, but the first and the second stage of blood coagulation showed no change. Plasmin and whole plasmin value were elevated. These results show that vitamin E is antithrombic and activated fibrinolysis in vivo. It is in agreement with my result of experiment in vitro.

During the course of experiment on the nature of crystalline urease, bis-(p-nitrophenyl) disulfide (I) was found to be a potent inhibitor of urease activity. It was shown that (I) was more inhibitory at an alkaline medium of higher pH and the inhibition was progressive with time. The inhibition of urease was prevented or recovered by the addition of an excess amount of such sulfhydryl compounds as reduced glutathione and cysteine. Possible mechanism of inhibition by bis-(p-nitrophenyl) disulfide seems to be due to disulfide-exchange reactions between the inhibitor and sulfhydryl groups of urease with a progressive loss of its activity.

Among the thiamine derivatives tested, thiamine disulfide (TDS), O-benzoylthiamine disulfide and O, S-diacetylthiamine showed to be definitely inhibitory to urease activity. On the other hand, O, S-dibenzoylthiamine, O, S-dicarbethoxythiamine and thiamine had no inhibitory action. These inhibitions were observed at the alkaline pH and progressive with time, and could be prevented or recovered by the addition of an excess amount of sulfhydryl compounds. The reaction of TDS with crystalline urease produced thiamine bound urease with loss of its ureolytic activity, from which thiamine was liberated by sulfhydryl compounds. Therefore the mechanism of inhibition of urease activity by the disulfide compounds seems to be due to disulfide-exchange reactions between the S-S group of TDS and the SH groups of urease.

It was been reported that thiaminase II catalizes the second-order reaction. The general kinetics of the reaction, A+B→products, were therefore studied. The basic rate-equation in this study was that intoduced by Dixon and Webb, in which almost no enzymatic reaction was assumed. Though the equation was very complicated, it seemed pertinent to explain actual enzymatic reactions. Applications of this equation from its theoretical basis were discussed in this paper. The second-order enzymatic reactions were classified into the following three types : linear type, substrate-activating type and substrate-inhibitory type. These types are resulted from the modes of steady state of the reaction. In "linear steady state", EAB ternary complex is formed through EA and EB at random sequence. The reaction follows Michaelis-like relation. The types showing phenomena of both substrate-activation and substrate-inhibition are caused by "cyclic steady state". Assuming a cyclic sequence of enzymesubstrate-complex-formation in steady state as E→EA→EAB→EB→(E), the equation suggests that the reaction is activated by substrate A and is inhibited by substrate B. Methods for the determination of both the maximum velocity and the dissociating constant of EAB ternary complex were also discussed.

Recently, Weeks and Beck revealed that Flavobacterium aquatile strain Taylor responded specifically to thiamine in a simple medium and applied this organism for the assay of thiamine. In present work, growth response of the organism for thiamine was studied under varied conditions. As a result, it was confirmed that the growth of this organism was proportional to thiamine hydrochloride in the range of 0〜4.0mμg/ml when culture was carried out for 47 hours at 24℃ and pH 7.5 in the medium containing Trypticase 0.5%, glucose 0.5%, K_2HPO_4 0.05%, KH_2PO_4 0.05% and MgSO_4・7H_2O 0.02%. Under these conditions, microbiological activity of thiamine diphosphate was approximately equal to that of thiamine hydrochloride, and the activity of thiamine disulfide was somewhat inferior. On the other hand, O-benzoylthiamine, O-benzoylthiamine disulfide, and pyrimidine and thiazole moieties of thiamine were inactive. Practical application for the assay of thiamine in medicines and enriched foods was also investigated. The results were satisfactory and the values obtained were in good agreement with those assayed by thiochrome method.
