Electronic state of flavin core of riboflavin has been studied making use of the absorption and fluorecence emission spectra of various nonaqueous solutions of riboflavin tetrabutyrate (RTB). The absorption spectra of RTB in nonpolar solvents, such as carbon tetrachloride and diethyl ether, showed two new bands or shoulders in the vicinity of 420 and 470 mμ in addition to the well-known bands (α and β maxima at about 450 and 340 mμ, respectively). While the position of the a band maximum remained unaffected, the β band shifted toward longer wave length with increasing polarity of solvent, indicating that the latter is associated with π→π
* transition. Two fluorescence maxima were observed in the emission spectra of RTB in nonpolar solvents, viz. at about 500 and 520 mμ. The fluorescence maximum of the shorter wave length migrates with solvent polarity corresponding to the migration of the β absorption band maximum, and has been ascribed to monomeric form of RTB. With the increase of RTB concentration, fluorescence intensity at 520 mμ increased while that of the 500 mμ decreased, indicating that the former maximum resulted from molecular association of the solute. A vertically stacked model was proposed for the dimerized complex, taking account of the electronic map of isoalloxazine.

Acid-catalyzed reaction of β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid was examined and a linear relation was found between the logarithm of the first-order rate coefficient and Hammet's acidity function, the slope of the line being approximately 1. This relationship agrees with the reaction mechanism known as the A-1 reaction among the Zucker-Hammet hypotheses, although there was a difference in the slope of the line according to various acids. The straight line obtained on addition of a salt to the acid solution agreed approximately with the straight line obtained without the addition of a salt. Rate of acid hydrolysis in heavy water solution was greater than that in aqueous solution. These results suggest that the acid-catalyzed reaction of β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid has the same reaction mechanism as that of A-1 reaction proposed for glucopyranosides.

Effect of the electron affinity of the aglycone group in the rate of acid hydrolysis of alkyl-β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid was examined. Electron-attracting aglycone was found to decrease the acid hydrolysis rate greatly, while the electron releasing aglycone greatly increased the rate. The Hammet-Taft rule was applied to the acid hydrolysis rate of glucopyranosiduronic acid and glucopyranoside, and the result suggested that the mechanism of hydrolysis was the same for glucopyranosiduronic acid (ρ
*) and for glucopyranoside (ρ
1*) having an electron releasing aglycone, but differed from that of glycopyranoside(ρ
2*)having an electron-attracting aglycone. The activation energy has the greatest effect on the acid hydrolysis rate constant of glucopyranosiduronic acid and the entropy of activation has no part in it.

Effect of the electron affinity of the aglycone group in the alkaline hydrolysis rate of alkyl- and aryl-β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid was examined. Electron-attracting aglycone increased the hydrolysis rate of the acid while the electron-releasing aglycone decreased this rate. This relationship is the reverse of the same effect in acid hydrolysis. Hammett value in the rate of alkaline hydrolysis of aryl-βD-glucopyranosiduronic acid was about 1.5 in either N, 2N, or 4N sodium hydroxide at 100°.

Rate of acid and alkaline hydrolyses of glucofuranosiduronic acid 3, 6-lactone and glucopyranosiduronic acid, and their α- and β-anomers was examined. The 3, 6-lactone was hydrolyzed much faster than the acid by either acid or alkali, and the β-anomer of the acid was more rapidly hydrolyzed than the α-anomer. The fairly large minus value of the entropy of activation in the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the 3, 6-lactone suggested this to be an A-2 reaction. Comparative considerations were made on the kinetic data of glucuronoside and glucoside.

Determination of hydrocortisone acetate, chloramphenicol, and tetracycline hydrochloride in an ointment was carried out by the X-ray diffraction analysis. The concentration of these chief components in the ointment was so small that the intensity of diffraction lines was weak, and some of the strongest peaks were close to the halo of white petrolatum used as the ointment base. Consequently, relative error of the determined values became fairly large but the method seemed to be practicable.

Effect of 10 chelating agents on the excretion of radiostrontium from the body was investigated in mice. Sodium salts and/or monocalcium-sodium salts of these chelating agents were used as test materials. Preliminery toxicity tests were carried out to estimate their approximate maximum safety doses. The sodium salts were generally more toxic and brought about some convulsion with occasional death which were attributed to the decrease of Ca
2+ ion in the blood. The monocalcium-sodium salts were applicable in 10-folds as compared with their equivalent sodium salts. The chelating agents and radioactive strontium were simultaneously injected into different parts of the body. The animals were killed 24 hours after the injection, and then reduced to ashes individually in an electric furnace after removing the digestive tracts and bladders. Radioactivity of the ashes was assayed to determine the percentage retention of radioactive strontium in the carcasses. Monocalcium-disodium salt of bis(dicarboxyaminoethyl) ether was found to be one of the most effective agents, same as calcium sodium citrate which had been previously reported.

Conditions for separatory determination of 11 kinds of tetracycline by thin-layer chromatography were examined. These compounds were found to show tailing on the usual silica gel layer and this was considered to be due to chelation of tetra cyclines with trace metals in the silica gel. In order to stop this reaction, the thin layer was treated with disodium-EDTA and a good result was obtained. Further, changes in the behavior of tetracycline and oxytetracycline by pH and temperature were examined, and the effect of citric acid, boric acid, and calcium ion on these compounds was also examined. At pH 4.0, oxytetracycline undergoes specific decomposition and the solution colors pink. Two kinds of decomposition product were isolated and these were examined by thin-layer chromatorarhy, and by ultraviolet and infrared spectra.

The partial rate factors at 1-/2-/3-/4- and at 2-/3-/4- are 18/12/17/23 and 15/21/29, respectively. Warming of a mixture of I, II, III, IV, and V in acetic acid, in the presence of nitric acid, at 40° for 6 hours results in protodesilylatiom of only a small amount of I and the others are not decomposed. Consequently, the formation of V is not due to protodesilylation of III, as had been thought, but is due to the nitrodesilylation of I.

Reaction of o-(trimethylsilyl)phenol (I) with various electrophilic reagents was examined. Acid and alkali treatment of I results in the severance of silicon-aryl bond and phenol is formed. Bromination of I results in substitution of the position para to the hydroxyl, accompanied by desilylation and p-bromophenol is formed. Coupling reaction of I with benzenediazonium chloride results in the substitution first in the position para to the hydroxyl and then at ortho to form 2-trimethylsilyl-4-(phenylazo)phenol (IV) and then 2-trimethylsilyl-4, 6-bis(phenylazo)phenol (IX), and no further substitution occurs. This is considered to the due to the stabilization of the silicon-aryl bond by the -I effect of the second substitution. Nitration of I with acetyl nitrate at 20° or -50° failed to produce any nitrated product. The Reimer-Tiemann reaction of I gave salicylaldehyde, while the Friedel-Crafts reaction of the methyl ether (XV) of I with aluminum chloride and acetyl or benzoyl chloride afforded p-methoxyacetophenone or p-methoxybenzophenone.

A satisfactory result was obtained by a modified method for the synthesis of 2-trimethylsilyl-p-benzoquinone (I). Application of p-diazobenzenesulfonic acid to m- (VI) or o-(trimethylsilyl)phenol (VII) affords p-(2-trimethylsilyl-4-hydroxyphenylazo)-(VIII) or p-(3-trimethylsilyl-4-hydroxyphenylazo)-benzenesulfonic acid (X) which is reduced with sodium thiosulfate to 3-(IX) or 2-trimethylsilyl-4-aminophenol (XI). I is obtained in a good yield by the oxidation of IX or XI with dichromic acid. Addition reaction of I was then examined. I undergoes reaction with hydrochloric acid in methanol or with hydrogen chloride in chloroform to afford 2-chloro-p-hydroquinone. Refluxing of I with butylamine in methanol gives 2-butylamino-p-hydroquinone but I does not react with phenol. Reduction of I with sodium thiosulfate, hydroxylamine, or p-nitrophenylhydrazine affords 2-trimethylsilyl-p-hydroquinone (XIV) but I is not reduced by sulfur dioxide gas.

The cholagogic action of the crude drug, oriental bezoar, was examined by dividing the action into contraction of the gall bladder and relaxation of Oddi's sphincter. It was thereby found that, among the components of bezoar, the substance that causes contraction of the smooth muscle, found earlier, was the only one that showed contraction of the gall bladder and Oddi's sphincter, and most of other bite acid salts showed a relaxing effect. Deoxycholate showed the strongest a relaxing action on Oddi's sphincter and this was proved to be the principle of the cholagogic action of bezoar. The substance which contracts the smooth muscle was found to inhibit the relaxing action of deoxycholate in the gall bladder and to take part in the mechanism of contractive excretion. It was concluded from these results that pharmacologucally antagonistic substances, acting on the same point, formed a functionally co-operating system to effect cholagogic activity.

Reaction of acridine (I) with various ketones (II), in the presence of sodium methoxide at ordinary temperature, was examined. Ketones used were acetophenone, propiophenone, butyrophenone, valerophenone, isobutyrophenone, isovalerophenone, acetone, diethyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl propyl ketone, methyl isopropyl ketone, cyclohexinone, and cyclopentanone. From the results of this reaction, following points were clarified. 1) When the reaction is effected, the carbonatom of the methyl or methylene group adjacent to the carbonyl group in the ketone is bonded to 9-position of I to form the acridanyl derivative (III). 2) Although the examples are small, the reaction seemed difficult when the alkyl group in the ketone possessed a branched chain in the α- and or β-position. 3) The carbon bonded to the carbonyl group in the ethyl or propyl group seemed to have greater reactivity than the carbon in the methyl group bonded to the carbonyl. The actidanyl derivatives (III) are derived to the corresponding acridine derivatives (IV) by oxidation with chloranil. However, in the case of 2-(9-acridanyl)cyclopentanone (IIIn), 9-acridine-valeric acid (Vn), considered to be formed by the hydrolysis of 2-(9-acridinyl)-1-cyclopentanone (IV) during the treatment, was obtained. Hydrolysis of the acridine derivatives (IV) with sodium hydroxide afforded 9-alkylacridine (V) except in the case of 2-(9-acridinyl)-1-cyclohexanone (IVm) which formed 9-acridine-caproic acid (Vm).

The metabolism of three hydroxylated derivatives of N-methylthiocarbanilide, namely, 4'-hydroxy-, 4-hydroxy-, and 4, 4'-dihvdroxy-N-methylthiocarbanilide, was studied. Examinations were made on the urinary metabolites in rabbits after oral administration of these compounds, tested by paper and thin-layer chromatography. The major metabolism of the respective derivatives is summarized as follows. 1) The fate of 4'-hydroxy derivative is quite similar to that of N-methylthiocarbanilide. Its main metabolite is the glucuronide at the 4'-hydroxyl group and the sulfuric acid conjugation was not observed. 2) The metabolism of 4-hydroxy derivative is different from that of 4'-hydroxy derivative since the former is conjugated with both glucuronic acid and sulfuric acid at the 4-hydroxyl group. In addition the glucuronide of p-methylaminophenol is also excreted. 3) 4, 4'-Dihydroxy derivative is excreted mainly as the monoglucuronide in which the conjugation occurs exclusively at the 4'-hydroxyl group and the ethereal sulfate was not detected.

Hydroxyevodiamine (rhetsinine), which was synthesized by the KMnO
4-oxidation of evodiamine by Asahina and Ohta, and whose structure was recently altered to IV from Asahina's formula (III) by Pachter et al., was isolated from the fruits of Evodia rutaecarpa HOOK fil. et THOMSON.
