Released on J-STAGE: February 19, 2010
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSCatalase acion of iron salt solutions at a constant temperature of 25° and at varied pH ranges was studied and it was found that the curve of pH and catalatic activity showed a maximum and minimum points. At pH 1.8, the intensity of catalase activity were the same for the ferric and ferrous ions at concentrations below 10-3g. ion, whereas they were different above this concentration, the intensity of catalase activity being stronger in the ferrous than in the ferric ions. As a result, it was seen that by making a standard curve of ion concentration and catalase activity at pH 1.8 and a constant temperature, the cause of catalase activity of mineral springs could be found by comparison with such curves.View full abstractDownload PDF (979K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSCatalase activity of iron salt solution was examined as to the addition of Mn++, an important catalyst in mineral springs, and of Cu++, co-catalase pointed out by the present authors. It was found, however, that the catalase action of Mn++ is independent of iron salts whereas Cu++ acts as a co-catalase to iron ion, and shows the maximum in the curve between log Cu++ and activity ratio. It was also found that there was an approximately definite relationship between the concentration of Cu++ and Fe+++, but not necessarily between Cu++ and Fe++. Vanadate ion was also found to show co-catalase activity against iron salts at around 10-2g. ion, Cu++ also shows co-catalase activity against sodium ferric-phthalocyanine-tetrasulfonate but its excess tend to inhibit the activity. Iron bipyridyl complex delays the catalase action of iron salts but such action is rapidly recovered when the bipyridyl comlex begins to decompose.View full abstractDownload PDF (790K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTwenty-eight kinds of methyl, methoxy, and hydroxy derivatives of coumarin were prepared and the variation in their anthelmintic action by the kinds, position, and number of the substituents present was examined. Physiological action was observed in a glass tube filled with 2, 000 dilutions of coumarin derivatives in revised Locke's solution at 38°. The results obtained were as follows:
1) The order of potency due to different kinds of substituents was methyl>methoxy->hydroxy-coumarin.
2) The potency decrease by different position of the substituents was parallel in methyl-and methoxy-coumarins but not parallel in hydroxycoumarins.
3) The potency decreased when methyl was introduced in 4-position or when two or more hydroxyl or methoxyl groups were introduced.
4) 7-Methyl- and 3-methyl-coumarins were especially powerful, Ascaris suilla dying within 20-30minutes. Pointing to the similarity in the structures of 3-methylcoumarin and santonin, importance of the methyl group attached to the carbon atom neighboring the carbonyl group of the lactone ring was proposed.
5) It was pointed out that potent compounds were found among those with melting points below 130°.View full abstractDownload PDF (785K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWith the increase of vitamin A unit as the objective, primary hot saponification and secondary cold saponification were carried out in hydrogen stream on cod liver oil from tuna (Thynnus orientalis) of 100, 000 I.U. of vitamin A1, in accordance with the method of saponification of quantitative determination. As a result, high unit of 700, 000 I.U. and 1, 600, 000 I.U., respectively, was obtained. Esterification of the unsaponifiable matter from these two was reëxamined and it was found that the purified secondary unsaponifiable substance invariably yielded a phosphate by phosphoryl chloride when submitted to dehydrochloride catalysis with pyridine. Spectral analysis shows that the absorption maximum of the purified phosphate was in the range of 300mμ.View full abstractDownload PDF (1022K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTypical receptum that calls most rational the low temperature, short-period synthesis of phosphatization of the unsaponifiable substance from cod liver oil, i. e. application of phosphoryl chloride with anhydrous pyridine as the catalyst, was reëxamined literally and experimentally from the point of view of the so-called productive optimum function by analysis from two functional points. Ratio of affinity and reaction velocity were reëxamined and, in order to study the activation energy necessary and sufficient for monoesterification, the temperature variation from the beginning to the latter part of the synthetic reaction was followed. As a result, it was found that, under the optimum conditions, good results could be obtained by beginning the reaction at -10° and majority of the reaction concluded around 0°C. It was also confirmed that the most rationalized method would be to utilize the initial generation of heat as the activation energy needed for the last half of the reaction. It was found that the productional function was limited by the amount of the initial material used and it was concluded that sigmated productive units of plant for the unit of optimum quantity for esterification was necessary.View full abstractDownload PDF (1110K) -

Released on J-STAGE: February 19, 2010
JOURNAL FREE ACCESS1) Content of vitamin A in raw liver oil used as standard for vitamin A assay, in the phosphate of unsaponifiable matter, and in vitamin A preparations were determined physicochemically from which it was found that (i) vitamin A is easily autoxidized in an aqueous solution, (ii) phosphate showed no measurable change before and after saponification, and (iii) preparations should be subjected to preliminary purification treatment by saponification.
2) Simple and complex parenteral solutions were prepared and their stability were examined from which complex solution was found to be stable provided that the ampule is sealed enitrely without oxygen, and glycerol or glucose are used for isotonic preparation. Tablet forms should be given some preventive method for oxidation, but oral drops and chocolate coated pills were found to physically prevent oxidation.
3) It was found that for stabilization, it was necessary to exclude air during granulation of tablet preparations. It was also found that (i) mixing with hydrated substances accelerated oxidation, (ii) caseine and gelatine gave some degree of protection but emulsification and drying should be made in nitrogen or carbon dioxide stream, (iii) mixing with succrose powder is disadvantageous, and that (iv) internal cleavage due to weathering decreases protection against periodical change. Its prevention could be effected by the use of cetanol or cacao butter, or by the addition of a small amount of raw liver oil.View full abstractDownload PDF (926K) -
Excretion of Vitamin A in UrineOtoharu Ishizaka1953 Volume 73 Issue 6 Pages 586-588

Released on J-STAGE: February 19, 2010
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSBurden assays were carried out on the sodium and calcium salts of vitamin A phosphate and it was found that these were excreted into urine during saturation of vitamin A, 1 hour after subcutaneous injection of the sodium salt and within 3 hours of the oral administration of the calcium salt. The substance excreted was confirmed to be the partially oxidized substance of the phosphate. However, further examination would be necessary to determine whether all the vitamin A compounds are excreted into urine in a similar form. Comparative examination with other vitamin A preparations showed that the phosphate form gives a more rapid and reliable effects and would be valuable for the diagnosis of vitamine A deficiency.View full abstractDownload PDF (396K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSCrude fatty acids, in an approximate yield of 11%, were obtained from the fruits of Angelica polyclada Franch. Derivation of the acids to methyl ester and its fractional distillation at 3mm-. pressure yielded three fractions, (A), (B), and (C) (cf. Table I). Each fraction was separated into solid and liquid acids by the lead salt method by which palmitic acid, m. p. 61-62°, was obtained from (A) fraction, crystals of m. p. 28-53° from (B) fraction, and crystals of m. p. 32-33° from (C) fraction as solid acids. 9, 10, 12, 13-Tetrahydroxystearic acid was obtained as the liquid acid from both the (B) and (C) fractions as the oxidation product by the Hazula method, from which it can be seen that linolic acid is present in the fruit. As the method of separatory estimation of petroselic, petroselidic, palmitic, oleic, and linolic acids that constitute the fatty acids obtained from the fruit oil of the Umbellifera family, chromatography employing circular filter paper was devised (cf. Table II). Utilizing this method, the crystals of m. p. 28-53° were found to be a mixture of palmitic and petroselic acids and those of m. p. 32-33° were petroselic acid with a trace of petroselidic acid. From these experimental results, it was confirmed that the acids constituting the fruit oil of Angelica polyclada were petroselic, petroselidic (trace), palmitic, and linolic acids.View full abstractDownload PDF (891K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSRemoval of pyrogen from parenteral solutions was experimentally examined by the ordinary purification method on the degree of pyrogen removal. In this case, the coloration tests was made with TBP reagent which is said to indicate proportional relationship between pyrogen and febrifuge in rabbits. Market product of glucose injection, having positive TBP reaction was recrystallized, treated with various absorbents, oxidative agents, or reducive agents. Fungal culture filtrate, containing pyrogen, was also treated with anion and cation exchange resins and conc. hydrochloric acid. Degree of coloration with TBP reagent was examined on each sample before and after treatments. Experimental results have shown that recrystallization and treatment with oxidation agent were able to decrease substance that gave positive TBP reaction (pyrogen), but not to make it entirely negative. Treatment with ion exchange resins and reductive treatment were found to be practically ineffective.View full abstractDownload PDF (1181K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSHeating of 2-[2′-methyl-4′-aminopyrimidyl-(5′)]-methyl-formamino-5-hydroxy-Δ2-pentenyl-(3) alkyl disulfide (vitamin B1 alkyl disulfide) (I) in cyclohexanol results in its decomposition to thiochrome (III) and 3-[2′-methyl-4′-methylpyrimidyl-(5′)]-methyl-4-methyl-5-β-hydroxyethylthiazole-3-thione (SB1) (IV). Heating of vitamin B1 disulfide (II) in ethylene glycol results in its decomposition to (III) and 3-[2′-methyl-4′-methyl-pyrimidyl-(5′)]-methyl-4-methyl-5-β-hydroxyethylthiazol-2-one (vitamin B1-thiazolone) (V), with a minute amount of (IV) as a by-product which was confirmed by the paper partition chromatography. Heating of (I) in alkaline medium results in the formation of vitamin B1 (VI), (II), (III), (IV), and (V), while the similar heating of (II) yields (VI), (III) (IV), and (V). These components were all proved by the paper partition chromatography.

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSRespective condensation of ethylene bromohydrin (VI) with the sodium salts of acetylacetone (Va), propionylacetone (Vb), and benzoylacetone (Vc) results in the formation of γ-acetopropyl acetate (IIIa), γ-acetopropyl propionate (IIIb), and γ-benzoylpropyl acetate (IIIc). It is assumed that γ-diacetopropyl alcohol (IIa), γ-propionyl-γ-acetopropyl alcohol (IIb), and γ-benzoyl-γ-acetopropyl alcohol (IIc) primarily formed as intermediates are extremely unstable and immediately undergo rearrangement to transit to (IIIa), (IIIb), and (IIIc), in which acyl radical with small +E effect migrates and the radical with large effect remains. This shows that the rearrangement efficiency is reverse of the +E effect, i.e. C2H5CO>CH3CO>C6H5CO. (IIIc) was treated with sulfuryl chloride to γ-benzoyl-γ-chloropropyl acetate (VIc) which was prepared, by the previously reported method, into 2-phenyl-2-acetoxytetrahydrofuryl-(3) N-[2-methyl-4-aminopyrimidyl-(5)]-methyldithiocarbamate (VIIIc), N-[2′-methyl-4′-aminopyrimidyl-(5′)]-methyl-4-phenyl-5-β-hydroxyethylthiothiazolone-(2) (IXb), and N-[2′-methyl-4′-aminopyrimidyl-(5′)]-methyl-4-phenyl-5-β-hydroxyethylthiazolium chloride hydrochloride (XI).View full abstractDownload PDF (841K) -
