In an aqueous solution, streptomycilideneisonicotinylhydrazine (Streptohydrazid) exists in an equilibrium of streptomycin and isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INAH). This equilibrium constant differs according to the pH of the solution, the value decreasing with increasing value of pH. This indicates that the equilibrium exists between streptomycin, INAH, and Streptohydrazid and that the difference in their concentration results in different dissociation of each compound and the original and product systems according to pH.

In order to elucidate the cause of significant differences existing between individual operators in elemental analytical procedures, standardization of analytical method and process of its control were devised. Examinations were made on the weighing and burning procedures, which had hitherto been left to the discretion of individual operators, and on portions likely to become the cause of variance. A standard was fixed which would prevent the introduction of individual error by the operators into analytical values.

In order to elucidate the cause of error in carbon and hydrogen determinations revealed by the previous work, studies were made based on the statistical design of experiment. The three factors, balance, analytical apparatus, and operator, were placed in a combination of 3-way layout of two levels each, the order of analysis in each combination was stratified into four portions, two operations were alloted to each, and a total of 64 experiments were designed. During the experiments, precaution was taken to collect the data at random and the experiments were carried out during continuous analyses of general assignment. Statistical analysis of the results revealed that, of the three factors, variation by the balance alone showed significant difference, and that the precision of analytical values was C 0.1844% and H 0.2034% at σ, much smaller than that of C=H 0.25% in the preceding report. These results indicate that the cause of error in elemental analyses is due almost entirely to the decreased precision of the balance.

The optical density of this colored acetate layer was measured at 564mμ to make colorimetric determination of chlorotetracycline. The presence of oxytetracycline and tetracycline in less than 20% amount makes it possible to determine chlorotetracycline with below 2% accuracy. Determination of chlorotetracycline hydrochloride, in an aqueous solution, allowed to stand for a long period of time and expected to have undergone a certain amount of decomposition, by the biological assay, hydrochloric acid method, and the present method gave well agreeing value.

The urine sample or the sample blood added with sodium citrate, hemolysed, and deproteinized with methanol, is passed through a column of ion exchanger, Amberlite IRA-400, and pyrazinamide in the effluent is first determined. The pyrazinoic acid adsorbed on the resin is eluted with warm sodium chloride solution and the acid in this solution is determined. It was thereby found that the blood level of pyrazinamide is far higher than that of pyrazinoic acid at any time, the acid being hardly detected. On the contrary, the level of pyrazinoic acid in the urine is far higher than that of pyrazinamide.

Two kinds of new crystalline glycoside were isolated from the root of
Paeonia suffruticosa ANDL. (
P. Moutan SIMS.) and were named paeonoside and paeonoside. The isolation of the two glycosides was effected by the utilization of column chromatography through an ion exchange resin and starch-celite. The presence of paeonoside had been predicted by Péron and others in 1911, which was confirmed by the present series of experiments. Although Péron and others reported that it would not be a β-type since it does not submit to hydrolysis by emulsin, the present experiments revealed that paeonoside is hydrolyzed by emulsin and its structure was indicated as paeonol-β-D-glucoside.
Paeonolide is hydrolyzed by emulsin to liberate a pentose and a hexose, so that its sugar portion is known to be an oligosaccharide. It was also clarified that the bonding of the sugar is a β-type glycoside, same as in paeonoside.

Saponification with hydrobromic acid of (III) and (III′) afforded pyrroline-2-carboxylic acid derivatives (IV) and proline derivatives (IV′). It was concluded that the double bond in pyrroline is not conjugated but is in the 3-position because the imino group in (IVa) gives pK′ value of 10.25 and the infrared absorption of the carboxylic ester group at 2-position is identical with that of the carboxylic acid ester at 2-position of pyrrolidine.

In dilute solutions, these compounds exhibited absorptions due to free and bonded hydroxyls and the spectra confirmed the presence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond. Further, the role of hydrogen atom in 1-OH group was pointed out. There was a regularity in the amide-I and -II bands of the N-acyl compounds and it was shown that, in a crystalline state, the
erythro compounds invariably possessed intramolecular hydrogen bond between the N-acyl groups stronger (2-3 times) than that in the corresponding
threo series. A single absorption always appeared in the region of 950-1000cm
-1 in the
threo compounds and 900-950cm

erythro compounds. It is proposed that this absorption is probably due to the C-H bond of the asymmetric carbon atom.

Using anhydrous propionic acid as a solvent, diphenhydramine and its acid salts can be directly titrated potentiometrically with perchloric acid by glass-calomel electrodes with good accuracy. The effect of the combined acid on the direct titration of the salts was comparatively examined by the titration curves. It was thereby found that the order of the strength of the acids in anhydrous propionic acid is almost equal to their strength in aqueous solution and anhydrous acetic acid, but organic acids, especially picric acid, are relatively weaker. It would be because of the physical and chemical interactions of the solution and the solute, for example the affinity of solvation. It may be concluded that organic acids with pK below 2 in aqueous solution and inorganic acids have some effect on the titration and lower the accuracy of the measurement but weaker acids would have almost no effect.

Drug preparations containing non-ionic surface active agents as a solubilizer is apt to become molded and the addition of an antifungal agents in such preparations at times do not exhibit the anticipated effect. This was assumed to be due to the fact that the solubilized antifungal agent is enveloped inside the micelle formed by the surface active agent. Using Tween 20 as the surface active agent and four kinds of
p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters as the antifungal agent, solubility of the antifungal agent in the presence of surfactant and effect on
Aspeyillus niger were tested and the relationship between the degree of hydrophilic or lipophilic properties of the antifungal agents and micelle formation of surfactants was considered. Addition of Tween 20 solution increases the solubility of the esters (Fig. 1) but the antifungal activity decreases (Fig. 2). Since the rate of decrease is different in each ester, antifungal activity of each ester differs in magnitude above a certain concentration of Tween 20. The ratio of solubility to antifungal concentration is approximately constant in each ester and this value is smaller in the esters with smaller number of carbon atoms (Fig. 3). It was thereby concluded that the antifungal agents easily soluble in aqueous phase outside the micelle possessed greater antifungal activity.

Dithizone coloration of the zinc-casein hydrolyzate chromatogram also gave violet red spot at Rf 0.3 and at Rf 0.1 with zinc sulfate solution (Fig. 2). Absorption spectrum of zinc-casein shows maximum absorption at 270mμ while those of casein and of casein mixed with zinc sulfate shows specific absorption curve for casein protein, with maximum absorption at 274mμ (Fig. 3). Zinc-casein hydrolysate exhibits the maximum absorption at 274mμ, in which tyrosine absorption appears with a strong intensity. The portion containing zinc does not contain tyrosine and shows the maximum absorption at 266mμ, while the portion not containing zinc contains tyrosine and shows maximum absorption at 274mμ (Fig. 4). If zinc is removed by dithizone treatment of the. portion containing zinc, the maximum absorption at 266mμ disappears (Fig. 5). These results indicate that the zinc-casein clearly contains chelated zinc.

In order to examine the structure and pharmacological action of reserpine, compounds in which the E-ring is an aromatic ring and D-ring has been cleaved at N
4 and C
20, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-β-carboline and 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20-hexadehydroyohimbane derivatives, were prepared. General method for the syntheses of compounds possessing such fundamental skeleton has already been established but attempts were also made to cyclize the acid amide (III) to 3, 4-dihydro-β-carboline (IV) and its reduction to 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-β-carbolines (V).

The triterpene-carboxylic acid in
Poria cocos WOLF. from Kumamoto Prefecture does not agree with pachymic acid and its properties were found to be extremely similar to those of a 3:1 mixture of eburicoic and dehydroeburicoic acid reported by Robertson et al. The water-soluble sugar component contained glucose, sucrose, and a minute amount of unknown sugar, and fructose was not detected.
