Carcinogen으로 알려져 있는 auflatoxine계통 화합물의 방사성 표지 반응을 연구하였다. Auflatoxine계통 약품중에서 그 함유량이 가장 큰 auflatoxin-$B_1$을 초산(醋酸) 촉매하에 chloroamine-T를 사용하여 $^{125}I$로 표지한 결과 표지화합물을 방사화학적 수율 63.6%로 얻을 수 있었다. 생성물의 화학구조를 I.R. 및 N.M.R.로 검사한 결과 auflatoxine의 benzene고리에 표지되었음을 확인하였다. 쥐를 시험동물로 삼아 경구 투여후의 대사과정을 부검(剖檢)으로 조사한 결과 간 및 혈액에 방사능이 축적되고 요오드이온은 분리되지 않았음을 확인하였다.
Labelling auflatoxines, the potential carcinogenic compounds, by radioactive iodine has been studied. The auflatoxine-$B_1$, which is known to be the most abundant components of auflatoxines in the nature, was labelled by radioactive iodine-125 through an acid catalyst chloroamine-T procedure. The radiochemical yield was amounted to 63.6%. The chemical structure of the labelled product was proved to be 6-iodo 5-methoxy coumarine structure of auflatoxine-$B_1$ molecule by means of I.R. and N.M.R. spectroscopy. The labelled product was orally administered in a test animal (Rat) and examined the accumnulation of radioactivity in the body at the definite time interval. The accumnulation of the radioactivity was pronounced at the blood and the liver. There was no indication of the decomposition of auflatoxine-$B_1-^{125}I$ in the organs of the test animal.
