Establishment of an objective index for the diagnosis of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder by the continuous performance test "MOGRAZ".

Objective: The diagnosis of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) in Japan is mainly based on information obtained from caregivers. There is therefore a need to establish an objectivity index that can be easily used in clinical practice. The purpose of the study was to create a predictive model for the diagnosis of AD/HD using the MOGRAZ, a visual continuous performance test developed in Japan.

Tolyprolinol, a new dipeptide from Tolypocladium sp. FKI-7981.

A new dipeptide, named tolyprolinol, was isolated from the static culture of a fungus, Tolypocladium sp. FKI-7981. The structure of tolyprolinol was elucidated as N-acetyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-prolinol.
