O. Box 137, YU-11001 Belgrade, Yugoslavia (Received 7 March, revised 24 September 2002) Abstract: Application of dynamic 1H-NMR spectroscopy added to the understanding of the hydrogen bonds existing in the structurally related 5-substituted-2-alkylidene-4-oxothiazolidines in polar and apolar solvents. The equilibrated mixtures of these typical push-pull alkenes in CDCl3 consist of the intramolecularly H-bonded (E)-isomer and intermolecularly H-bonded (Z)-isomer in varying proportions which depend on the solvent polarity. For the representative of the series, (Z)-2-(5-ethoxycarbonylmethyl4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene)-1-phenylethanone, a concentration effect on the degree of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in apolar CDCl3 has been studied. Keywords: push-pull alkenes, hydrogen bonding, 1H-NMR spectroscopy. REFERENCES 1. R. Markovi}, M. Baranac, J. Serb. Chem. Soc. 63 (1998) 165 2. R. Markovi}, M. Baranac, Heterocycles 48 (1998) 893 3.

NIKOLI] and MIHAJLO Z. STANKOVI] Faculty of Technology, University of Ni{, Bulevar oslobodjenja 124, 16000 Leskovac, Yugoslavia (Received 11 July, revised 19 September 2002) Abstract: Dried and milled haulm of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) was used as the solid phase. An ethanolic solution of hydrochloric acid mixed with chloroform in different volume ratios was the liquid phase. The aim of paper was to unite in a single step the processes of glycoalkaloids extraction from haulm, their hydrolysis to solanidine and the extraction of solanidine. This could make the procedure of obtaining solanidine faster and simpler. The best degree of solanidine hydrolytic extraction of 84.5 % was achieved using 10 % w/v hydrochloric acid in 96 % vol. ethanol mixed with chloroform in a volume ratio of 2:3, after 120 min of hydrolytic extraction. Keywords: potato, haulm, glycoalkaloids, hydrolysis, solanidine, extraction. REFERENCES 1. G. Percival, G. R. Dixon, J. Sci. Food Agric. 70 (1996) 439 2. K. Scrieber, in The alkaloids, Manske, R.H.F.

(Lamiaceae), originating from the southeast region of Serbia was carried out. The chemical composition of the extracts was determined by GC-FID and GC-MS analyses. Manool has the highest level of all the components (9.0–11.1 %). Antimicrobial activity was determined by the diffusion and dilution method, whereby the latter one was modified by use of cellulose discs, and it was applied for the determination of the minimal inhibitory (MIC) and minimal lethal concentrations (MLC). The leaf extract has a stronger antimicrobial activity than those of the flower and stem. Keywords: Salvia officinalis L., Lamiaceae, extracts composition, manool, antimicrobial activity.

O. Box 158, YU-11001 Belgrade, Yugoslavia and 2Laboratory of Physiological Chemistry, University of Groningen, Bloemsingel 10, 9712 KZ Groningen, The Netherlands (Received 22 July 2002) Abstract: Under hypoglycemic conditions, concomitant hyperinsulinism causes an apparent modification of hemoglobin (Hb) which is manifested by its aggregation (Niketi} et al., Clin. Chim. Acta 197 (1991) 47). In the present work the causes and mechanisms underlying this Hb modification were studied. Hemoglobin isolated from normal erythrocytes incubated with insulin was analyzed by applying 31P-spectrometry and lipid extraction and analysis. To study the dynamics of the plasma membrane during hyperinsulinism, a fluorescent lipid-analog was applied. In the presence of insulin, phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and cholesterol were found to bind to Hb. Lipid binding resulted in Hb aggregation, a condition that can be reproduced when phospholipids are incubated with Hb in vitro. Using a fluorescent lipid-analog, it was also shown that exposing erythrocytes to supraphysiological concentrations of insulin in vitro resulted in the internalization of lipids. The results presented in this work may have relevance to cases of diabetes mellitus and hypoglycemia. Keywords: insulin, erythrocyte, hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinism, membrane lipids, hemoglobin.

Box 35-03, Belgrade, Yugoslavia (Received 9 September 2002) Abstract: In this work the Peng-Robinson-Stryjek-Vera (PRSV) equation of state coupled with the HuronVidal-Orbey-Sandler (HVOS) rule was tested for the correlation of the excess enthalpy (HE) and the excess heat capacity (cpE) alone and simultaneously. The HVOS mixing rule incorporates the NRTL equation as the GE model. All calculations were performed using the linear and reciprocal forms of the temperature dependent parameters of the models. For all the evaluations the 1,4-dioxane+n-alkane systems were chosen having in mind the unusually W-shaped concentration dependence of cpE for these systems. The correlation of the HE and cpE data alone for all the investigated systems using four coefficients and for the simultaneous correlation of HE+cpE data using six coefficients of the temperature dependent parameters of the PRSV-HVOS models could be considered as being very satisfactory. Keywords: thermodynamics, n-alkane, 1,4-dioxane, excess properties, CEOS. REFERENCES 1. H. Orbey, S. I. Sandler, Fluid Phase Equilibria 121 (1996) 67 2. T.

Box 158, YU-1001 Belgrade and 3Faculty of Physical Chemistry, University of Belgrade, YU-11001 Belgrade, Yugoslavia (Received 5 March, revised 7 October 2002) Abstract: A modified spectrophotometric method using the bismuth phosphomolybdate complex for the determination of phosphorus in coal and coal ash is suggested. Bismuth together with phosphate and molybdate forms a very stable complex in acid medium which turns blue (“molibdenum blue”) by reduction with ascorbic acid. The apparent molar absorptivity of PBiMo is 1.66´104 dm3 mol-1cm-1 at 720 nm and 2.10´104 dm3 mol-1cm-1 at 670 nm isobutyl methyl ketone (MIBK). Interference caused by the ions present are within the tolerance limits (±2 %). Beer’s law is obeyed in the for concentration range to 0.6 mg/mL (aqueous solution) and to 1.2 mg/mL P (MIBK). The sesitivity of the proposed method is 0.0078 mg/mL (aqueous solution) and 0.0066 mg/mL (MIBK). Keywords: spectrophotomery, phosphorus determination, coal, coal ash, bismuth phosphomolybdate complex. REFERENCES 1. S. Motomizu, T. Wakimoto, K. Toei, Talanta 31 (1984) 235 2. C. Matsubara, M.
