Biological activity and phosphorylation of 2'-azido-2'-deoxyuridine and 2'-azido-2'-deoxycytidine

2'-Azido-2'-deoxyuridine and 2'-azido-2'-deoxycytidine were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against ribonucleotide reductase and for subsequent cell growth inhibition. Their mono- and di-phosphates were synthesized and their inhibitory activities against the reductase were also determined in a permeabilized cell system, along with the two nucleosides. The results of the present study identify the first phosphorylation step involved in the conversion of the two azidonucleosides to the corresponding diphosphates to be rate-limiting in the overall activation.     

Thermodynamic study of BaCuO2 and BaCu2O2

The Gibbs energy changes for the syntheses of the interceramic compounds of BaCuO₂ and BaCu₂O₂ were investigated as a basic study in the Y-Ba-Cu-O system that includes a superconductor, YBa₂Cu₃O_6.5+x . For the compound BaCuO₂, thermogravimetry with CO₂-O₂-N₂ gas mixtures was employed, and equilibrium temperatures were determined at which CO₂ partial pressures in the gas mixtures were equilibrated with mixed powder of BaCuO₂, CuO, and BaCO₃. The Gibbs energy change for the reaction of BaCO₃ + CuO = BaCuO₂ + CO₂ was determined from the relation between CO₂ partial pressure and equilibrium temperature, taking into consideration the effect of CO₂ dissolution in BaCuO₂. For the study on BaCu₂O₂, electromotive force (emf) measurement using yttria-stabilized zirconia solid electrolyte was conducted. A technique using two cells was applied to the emf measurement for minimizing the effect of dispersion of oxygen from samples, and the Gibbs energy change for the reaction of BaCuO₂ + CuO = BaCu₂O₂ + 1/2O₂ was decided from the measured O₂ partial pressure.     

Crystallization Behaviors of CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-Na2O-CaF2-(Li2O-B2O3) Mold Fluxes

The effects of basicity (CaO/SiO₂), B₂O₃, and Li₂O addition on the crystallization behaviors of lime-silica-based mold fluxes have been investigated by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and single hot thermocouple technique. It was found that the crystallization temperature of cuspidine increased with increasing the basicity of mold fluxes. The crystallization of wollastonite was suppressed with increasing the mold flux basicity due to the enhancement of cuspidine crystallization. The addition of B₂O₃ suppresses the crystallization of mold flux. The crystallization temperature of mold flux decreases with Li₂O addition. The size of cuspidine increases, while the number of cuspidine decreases with increasing mold flux basicity. The morphology of cuspidine in mold fluxes with lower basicity is largely dendritic. The dendritic cuspidine in mold fluxes is composed of many fine cuspidine crystals. On the contrary, in mold fluxes with higher basicity, the cuspidine crystals are larger in size with mainly faceted morphology. The crystalline phase evolution was also calculated using a thermodynamic database, and compared with the experimental results determined by DSC and XRD. The results of thermodynamic calculation of crystalline phase formation are in accordance with the results determined by DSC and XRD.     

CaO-SiO2-Na2O-CaF2-Al2O3-MgO渣系的粘性活化能

采用CaO-Si02-Na20-CaF2-Al2O3-MgO渣系，通过测定粘度和粘性活化能，建立二次回归正交设计模型，借此研究了粘性特征与碱度、Na20含量、CaF2含量、Al2O3含量及MgO含量之间的关系，为设计开发连铸保护渣提供了理论依据。研究结果表明，粘性活化能随着渣中碱度、Na2C03含量和CaF2含量的增加而减小；Al2O3和MgO对粘性活化能的影响与碱度密切相关。连铸保护渣的粘度和粘性活化能具有相似的变化规律。     

Thermodynamic behavior of phosphorus in CaO-CaF2-SiO2 and CaO-Na2O-SiO2 systems

In order to understand the thermodynamic behavior of phosphorus, such as the polymerization of phosphate ions in slag melts, the influence of phosphorus content of slag melts on the partition of phosphorus between slags and carbon-saturated iron or silver was investigated for the CaO-CaF₂-SiO₂ and CaO-Na₂O-SiO₂ systems at 1573 and 1473 K, respectively. The predominant species changes from PO ₄ ³ to P₂O₇ ^4-approximately at 2 mass pct of phosphorus in slag melts, which is defined as the critical phosphorus content, for the CaO-CaF₂-SiO₂ system which is doubly saturated with CaO and 3CaO · SiO₂. The critical phosphorus content was found to be about 1 mass pct for the CaO-CaF₂-SiO₂ melts saturated with 2CaO · SiO₂. On the other hand, in the case of the 20CaO-35Na₂O-45SiO₂ system, PO₄/^3- is the predominant species until the slag becomes saturated with Ca₃(PO₄)₂. No effect of sulfur on the phosphorus partition ratio was observed for the CaO-CaF₂-SiO₂ system. Formerly Undergraduate Student, Department of Metallurgy, The University of Tokyo.

The free energies of mixing in melts in the system 2FeO · SiO₂-2MnO · SiO₂ at 1450°C and the system 2.33FeO · TiO₂-2.33MnO · TiO₂ at 1475°C have been obtained from measurement of the equilibrium Mn + FeO = Fe + MnO established between the melts and ironmanganese foils. Both systems exhibit ideal silicate mixing. The phase diagram for the system 2FeO-SiO₂-2MnO ·SiO₂ is calculated.
