[Object] To provide a method for synthesizing derivatives of natural compounds; a method for constructing a compound library containing derivatives of natural compounds; a compound library containing derivatives of natural compounds; and a screening method using a compound library, which are useful for a HTS random screening, a search for drugs or agricultural chemicals, or a search for a lead compound of a drug or an agricultural chemical. [Solving Means] A derivative of an organic compound can be synthesized by culturing a microorganism producing the organic compound in a predetermined culture broth, and reacting the organic compound obtained by the culturing with a reaction reagent for synthesizing the derivative of the organic compound in the culturing broth. By constructing a library containing the thus obtained organic compound derivative, a HTS (high-throughput) random screening, a search for a drug or agricultural chemical, or a search for a lead compound of a drug or agricultural chemical can be performed.

A residual chlorine measuring method includes the steps of: bringing a counter electrode 4, a working electrode 2 and a reference electrode 3 into contact with a sample solution containing residual chlorine; applying a voltage between the counter electrode 4 and the working electrode 2; and measuring a current value when applying the voltage to calculate a concentration of the residual chlorine. The working electrode 2 is an electrically conductive diamond electrode to which boron is doped. The reference electrode 3 is a silver/silver chloride electrode. A current value when setting the potential of the electrically conductive diamond electrode 2 to the silver/silver chloride electrode 3 to +0.5 V to +1.5 V is measured.

A glow discharge drilling apparatus (1) enables switching of a continuous mode for continuously supplying electric power and an intermittent mode for intermittently supplying electric power. Electric power is supplied in the intermittent mode with respect to a sample (S) easily melted by a heat due to a glow discharge and a sample (S) easily broken by a force of sputtering due to a glow discharge or the like, whereby the sample (S) is drilled so that an observation face capable of carrying out good observation can be obtained. When the sample (S) is not easily melted and easily broken, the sample (S) is drilled so that a good observation face can be efficiently obtained by supplying electric power in the continuous mode.

摘要:
The present invention provides polypeptides that suppresses neuronal death associated with Alzheimer's disease. Using a neuronal cell system, wherein the expression of familial Alzheimer's disease mutant APP can be induced by ecdysone treatment, a gene that protects the neurons from cell death was successfully isolated. The gene encodes a secretory polypeptide consisting of 24 amino acids, and this polypeptide suppresses neuronal death caused by the expression of APP mutants and presenilin mutants. The polypeptide also suppressed cell death of primary neuronal culture caused by Aβ. Furthermore, by mutating the amino acids of the polypeptide, the neuronal death suppression activity of the polypwptide was successfully and significantly enhanced. These polypeptides and derivatives thereof are useful as pharamaceuticals to prevent neuronal death associated with Alzheimer's disease, and as seed compounds for developing novel pharmaceuticals for Alzheimer's disease.
