Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine of the effect of Sachunghwan on the liver disease. Methods It was induced liver damage rats by thioacetamide and dosed the extract orally and measured the activity rate of GOT, GPT, ALP and LDH. Results 1. GOT activity was more decreased in the experimental goup than in the control goup. Group I showed continuous significance after 72 hour, Group II was significance after 96 hours. 2. GPT activity was more decreased in the experimental group than in the control group. Group I was effective after 72 hours, but group II was effective after 96 hours. 3. The significance of ALP activity in the Group I and group II was revealed after 72 hours. 4. The significance of LDH activity in the Group I and group II was revealed after 96 hours. Conclusions It was showded that Sachunghwan extract was effective on liver disease.

The nature of hydrogen bonding between thioacetamide and azines has been thoroughly investigated using near IR absorption spectroscopy. The νN-H + amide II combination band in thioacetamide (TA) has been analyzed to determine the thermodynamic constants for the formation of hydrogen bonded 1:1 TA:azine complexes in CCl4 and CHCl3 solutions. The relative stabilities of TA-azine complexes (pyridine->1,2-diazine->1,3-diazine->1,4-diazine-TA) are in good agreement with the relative proton affinities of azines in the gas phase. The results serve as a basis for analyzing the factors which influence the hydrogen bonding formation of TA in nonaqueous solutions.

The near-IR spectra of thioacetamide were recorded for the investigation of hydrogen bonding between thioacetamide (TA) and N,N-dimethylalkylamides (DMF, DMA, DMP) in chloroform over the range of 5$^{\circ}C$ to 55$^{\circ}C$. The ${\nu}_{\alpha}$ + amide II combination band has been resolved into contributions from monomeric TA, 1:1 hydrogen bonded complex and 1:2 complex by the parameterized matrix modeling method. The association constants ($K_c$) of the complex have been obtained at various temperatures and used to determine the thermodynamic parameters for the hydrogen bonding by the usual Van't Hoff method. It was found that N,N-dimethylalkylamide forms less stable hydrogen bonded complex with TA in chloroform than in carbon tetrachloride.

1H-nmr chemical shifts and lineshapes of amino-protons of thioacetamide in n-alcohols were determined. The chemical shifts are discussed by the Reichardt's solvent polarity parameter, $E_T(30)$. The following relationship between ${delta}_{obs}\;and\;E_T(30)$ was obtained, ${\delta}_{obs}=a{\cdot}E_T(30)＋b{\cdot}(E_T(30))_2$ where a is a characteristic constant for the protons of thioacetamide in n-alcohol solutions and b is a constant for the solute(TA)-solvent (n-alcohols) interactions. The barrier of the hindered rotation about the N-C(S) bond in TA was obtained by analysis of the lineshape of the amino-protons in TA. The behavior of the hindered rotation as well as chemical shifts of the amino-protons in TA has been found to be closely related to the $E_T(30)$ of n-alcohols.

Thioacetamide (TA) is well known hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic agent. TA also diminishes the contents of hepatic cytochrome P450 and inhibits the enzyme activity of the hepatic mixed function oxidases. TA metabolite, thioacetamide-s-oxide, is further transformed into a still unknown highly reactive metabolite that binds to macromolecules. In this study, we focused on TA-induced gene expression at hepatotoxic dose. Mice were exposed to two levels (5 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg i.p.) of TA, sampled at 6 or 24 h, and hepatic gene expression levels were determined to evaluate dose and time dependent changes. We evaluated hepatotoxicity by serum AST and ALT level and histopathological observation. Mean serum activities of the liver leakage enzymes, AST and ALT, were slightly increased compare to control. H & E and PAS evaluation of stained liver sections revealed TA-associated histopathological finding in mice. Centrilobular eosinophilic degeneration was observed at high dose-treated mice group. Hepatic gene expression was analyzed by QT clustering. Clustering of high dose-treated samples with TA-suggests that gene expressional changes could be associated from toxicity as measured by traditional biomarkers in this acute study.

The $v_{a^+}$ Amide II combination band of thioacetamide has been used to evaluate thermodynamic parameters of the hydrogen bonding of thioacetamide(TA) with pyridine(Py), quinoline(Qu), and acridine(Ac) in $CHCl_3$ and $CCl_4$ over the temperature range from 5$^{\circ}C$ to 55$^{\circ}C$. This combination band was resolved into two Lorentzian-Gaussian product bands which have been identified withmonomeric TA and hydrogen bonded TA. The thermodynamic parameters for the hydrogen bonded TA were determined by computer analysis of concentration and temperature dependent spectra. The standard enthalpies for the 1 : 1 hydrogen bonded complex of TA to pyridine, quinoline, and acridine in $CHCl_3$ have been found to be -7.6 kJ/mol, -6.5 kJ/mol, and -5.4 kJ/mol, respectively. And the standard enthalpies for the 1: 1 hydrogen bonded complex of TA to pyridine and quinoline in $CCl_4$ have been found to be -13.3kJ/mol, and -12.0kJ/mol, respectively.

Spectra for the $v_3$+ Amide II combination band of thioacetamide(TA) were obtained in carbon tetrachloride solutions and in very dilute solutions of TA-N,N-dimethlylacetamide (DMA) in carbon tetrachloride in the range of 5~55$^{\circ}$C. The combination band in the three component system can be resolved into components due to monomeric TA, 1 : 1 TA-DMA complex and 1 : 2 TA-DMA complex. In the dilute solutions the experimental spectrum was resolved by using the computer into its two Lorentzian-Gaussian product components which have been identified with the monomeric TA and the 1 : 1 complex. The equilibrium constants and thermodynamic parameters of 1 : 1 complex were determined by analysis of concentration and temperature dependent spectra. The ${\Delta}H^{\circ}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\circ}$ for the 1 : 1 complex were -14.4 KJ mol$^{-1}$ and -15.6 J mol$^{-1}deg^{-1}$, respectively.

Near-ir spectra have been obtained for the $ν_3$+ Amide II combination thioacetamide(TA) band in CC$l_4$ and TA-DMP in CC$l_4$ in the range of 5 to 55${\circ}C$. Absorbance of the weak bands of the DMP and solvent has been compensated. The spectra are analyzed by the computer resolution into two Lorentzian-Gaussian product bands which have been identified with monomeric TA and 1 : 1 TA-DMP complex. Equilibrium constants and thermodynamic parameters for the hydrogen bonding between TA and DMP have been evaluated by the analysis of the concentration and temperature dependent spectra for the very dilute CC$l_4$ solutions. The $ΔH{\circ} and ΔS{\circ}$ of TA and DMT have been found to be -14.6 kJmo$l^{-1}$ and -16.2 Jmo$l^{-1}$ de$g^{-1}$.
