    Anti-carrageenin edema activity of compounds related to anthranilic acid was tested in rats by subcutaneous administration. Inhibitory effect of these compounds against heatinduced denaturation of bovine serum albumin and heat-induced hemolysis of dog red blood cells was also tested in vitro. Flufenamic acid and phenylbutazone, among the control drugs used here, demonstrated good correlation between their in vivo and in vitro potencies. Almost all of N-phenylanthranilic acid derivatives showed relatively high activity in both in vitro tests, regardless of their in vivo effectiveness. In both in vitro tests, good agreement was found in the potencies of these derivatives against protein denaturation and hemolysis, except that the compound with either CF3 plus COOH, COOH, or SO3H substituent had no effect on hemolysis. Acridine-4-carboxylic acid derivatives generally showing high toxicity in rats had no inhibitory effect on carrageenin edema even at a toxic dose, but significantly high inhibition in vitro was found in these derivatives. Acridine-4, 9-dicarboxylic acid derivatives were mostly inactive both in vivo and in vitro. Only the dichloro-substituted compounds slightly inhibited the development of edema in the hind paw of rats following their subcutaneous injection, and showed a marked inhibition in vitro against both protein denaturation and hemolysis. The dichloro-substituted derivative of 9-oxo-acridan-4-carboxylic acid was the most effective in the carrageenin edema test among the compounds related to anthranilic acid tested, except flufenamic acid. This derivative also greatly inhibited both protein denaturation and hemolysis in vitro. The trifluoromethyl substituted derivative was the second in its potency against carrageenin edema. Monochloro or monomethyl substitution resulted in a slight increase of the antiedema activity of 9-oxo-acridan-4-carboxylic acid, but not so much as the dichloro compound in enhancement of the in vitro activities.

    Polarographic behavior of the methyloximes of testosterone, pregnenolone, estrone, isoandrosterone, and related ketosteroids was examined. Of these compounds, testosterone methyloxime showed two reduction waves, where the half-wave potentials were linearly dependent on pH. With respect to the reduction process of this compound, a mechanism involving two two-electron reductions has been proposed from the result of controlled potential electrolysis and of pH effect on the rate-determining step (Chart 1). The nonconjugated ketosteroid methyloximes also exhibited a reduction wave in acid solution. The half-wave potential and current constant measured at pH 1.00 are collected in Table IV. In addition, the nature of the polarographic wave characteristic to these compounds has been described.

Of the test compounds, 1, 1'-decamethylenediguanidine dihydrochloride, vitamin K3 and 2-methyl-3, 6-dibromo-1, 4-benzoquinone showed a potent inhibitory action, but phenylhydrazine hydrochloride and UQ-0 showed only a slight inhibition. Further, examination was made on the effect of 1, 1'-decamethylenediguanidine dihydrochloride, vitamin K3, and 2-methyl-3, 6-dibromo-1, 4-benzoquinone on the incorporation of mevalonate [2-14C] into total nonsaponifiable lipid and, using a thin-layer chromatogram scanner, changes in the distribution of radioactivity of the intermediates in total nonsaponifiable lipid due to them were examined. In the case of 1, 1'-decamethylenediguanidine dihydrochloride and vitamin K3, only the peak of squalene remained, the peaks of cholesterol and lanosterol disappearing. At the same time they partially inhibited the incorporation of mevalonate [2-14C] into total nonsaponifiable lipid. On the other hand, in the case of 2-methyl-3, 6-dibromo-1, 4-benzoquinone, the peaks of radioactivity were not found, and also the incorporation of mevalonate [2-14C] into total nonsaponifiable lipid was inhibited completely. On the basis of these experiments, the inhibition sites of test compounds on cholesterol biosynthesis were discussed.

    A new triterpene glycoside, ovalifolioside (I), C35H58O7, was isolated from the leaves of Lyonia ovalifolia var. elliptica. Acidic hydrolysis of I gave an aglycone, ovalifoliogenin (II), C30H50O3 and L-arabinose. From the NMR and mass spectral data, II was assumed to be a pentacyclic triterpene derivative, possessing three hydroxyl groups in A and B rings, and no hydroxyl group in D and E rings. II formed an acetonide (IV) with acetone and p-toluenesulfonic acid. IV was oxidised with chromic acid to a ketone (V), which was reduced by the Wolff-Kishner method to an isopropylidene compound (VI), C33H54O2. VI was identified with the acetonide of 3β, 23-dihydroxyolean-12-ene, which was derived from hederagenin via an unambiguous route.

    In the reaction of 3-indoleacetonitrile derivatives and carbon disulfide, indole derivatives without a substituent in 2-position afford ketenethioacetal derivatives (II) while those with carbonyl or carboxyl in 2-position form condensed thiopyrone ring, thiopyrano-[3, 4-b] indole derivatives (III). Substitution of the methylthio group in these II and III compounds with amines was carried out. In the reaction of III and hydrazine hydrate, the product was a ring-cleaved 2-(2-hydrazinocarbonyl-3-indolyl)-3-hydrazino-3-mercaptoacrylonitrile (IX) whose treatment with ketone or aldehyde afforded a cyclized product, 4-cyano-3-mercaptopyrido [3, 4-b] indole derivative. Treatment of IX with carbon disulfide and dimethyl sulfate resulted in the formation of a compound with a thiadiazole ring, 5-cyano-3-methylthio-1-oxo-1, 3, 4-thiadiazolo [2, 3-b] harman (XV).

    A aromatic halogeno or nitro compounds (Va-1) which are reactive to nucleophilic reagents reacted with N-aminopyridinium halide (I) in sodium ethoxide solution and afforded pyridine N-arylimine derivatives (Via-i) as stable crystalline product. This is a new synthetic method for the preparation of pyridine N-arylimines. Ultraviolet (UV) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral data of these compounds suggest that the π-electron density of the pyridine and the aryl group is increased by distribution of the negative charge at the imine nitrogen.

    The previous assumption that the aromatic ring systems of pyridine N-arylimine (II), a kind of stable pyridinium N-ylide, have a greater π-electron density than that of the corresponding parent compounds was tested by the nitration of pyridine N-(nitrophenyl)-imines (IIa-e). In this reaction, the benzene ring was first nitrated easily to the trinitro compound (IIc) and a nitro group was further introduced into 4-position of the pyridine ring, which was reactive to nucleophilic reagents and underwent substitution to afford alkoxy and chloro compounds (III, IV, V). This reactivity of the pyridine ring is similar to that of pyridine N-oxide derivatives. The imine nitrogen of pyridine N-arylimines was oxidized with hydrogen peroxide accompanying the N-N bond cleavage to convert to the nitro group together with other minor products.

    For the synthesis of glaupalol, a new type of furanocoumarin isolated from the rhizomes of Glaucidium palmatum SIED. et ZUCC., attempts were made without success to prepare the intermediate, 1-(3, 6-dihydroxy-2-methyl) phenyl-3, 3-dimethyl-4-penten-1-one (2) which is obtained on alkaline fusion of glaupalol and can be reconverted into glaupalol by its carboxylation with dimethyl carbonate and sodium hydride. On the other hand, the Claisen rearrangement of synthesized 4-(3, 3-dimethylallyloxy)-6-methoxy-5-methylcoumarin (45) in N-methylpiperidine leads to the formation of O-methylglaupalol (4) which is readily converted into glaupalol (1) with boron tribromide in methylene chloride. The key intermediate (45) was synthesized from 6-hydroxy-2-methylbenzoic acid (29). Potassium persulfate oxidation of the acid (29) gives the toluhydroquinone carboxylic acid (30) which is partially methylated with methyl iodide and potassium carbonate to furnish 6-hydroxy-3-methoxy-2-methylbenzoic acid (33). Treatment of the O-acetate (38) of this acid with thionyl chloride followed by diethyl malonate in the presence of lithium hydride, and subsequent hydrolysis with acetic acid yields 4-hydroxycoumarin (3) which is converted into the dimethylallyl ether (45) using its silver salt and 1-bromo-3-methyl-2- butene. Synthetic glaupalol was identical in all respects with natural glaupalol.

    The permeability of potassium chloride through the gelatin membrane undissolved by heating is discussed by considering both the velocity of permeation at the membrane surface and permeability inside the membrane. The correlation between the reciprocal of the apparent membrane permeability coeffiicient, defined by the concentration difference, P', and thickness of membrane, L, was found to be linear. The permeability coefficient in the membrane, P*, the velocity of permeation at the interface, k, and the corresponding membrane thickness, L*, expressing resistance at the interface to diffusion, can be calculated from this linear correlation. The difference in the permeation condition affects k but not P*. When k>>2P*/L, the rate-determining process is in the membrane and when k>>2P*/L, the rate determening process is at the interface. Using our apparatus, the mechanism of the membrane permeability for the gelatin membrane is a coupled mechanism. In a thin membrane, the permeation at the membrane interface works as the rate-determining process and the permeation in the membrane takes the place with increasing L. With increasing the gelatin content, KCl permeability in the membrane is reduced and the apparent membrane constant designating its porosity is also reduced. Even if the gelatin content varied, k and L* keep constant.

    Autoxidation of diphenylmethane was examined at 35° in dimethyl sulfoxide-t-BuOH (4 : 1) solvent in the presence of KOH (initial concentration, CK0). The reaction proceeds cosecutively, according to the following scheme. [numerical formula] The order and rate-constant of each reaction were determined as follows : -dCD/dt=kD1CDCK0 (eq.3), dCP/dt=kH1CHCK00.5(eq.15) It was found that the reaction of diphenylmethane to benzohydrol was inhibited by benzohydrol, and that the rate-constant, kD1, depended on CH as kD1=kD2/(1+ACH2)) (eq. 4). The constant, kD2, decreased during the reaction and kD2 was regarded as a function of reaction time, t, and represented it as AD2=1/(p+qt0.5) (eq. 9). The constant, kH2, depended on water content, CW0, as kH1=kH2/(1+αCW02) (eq. 16). Several constants were determined from these experiments, and the rate equations were found as follows : [numerical formula]

III, VI, and VII were obtained by dehydration of 4-en-3-ol derivatives, which were obtained by selective reduction of 17α-acyloxyprogesterone derivatives with sodium borohydride, in the presence of phosphomolybdic acid in acetone solution at room temperature or boiling temperature. VIII and IX were obtained by the reaction of 17α-acyloxyprogesterone derivatives with acetyl chloride at room temperature. The effect of substituents in 3, 5-diene derivatives on the oral progestational activity was discussed.
