[Docket ID FEMA-2018-0002]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: New or modified Base (1-percent annual chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundaries or zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations) as shown on
the indicated Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for each of the communities
listed in the table below are finalized. Each LOMR revises the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases the Flood Insurance
Study (FIS) reports, currently in effect for the listed communities.
The flood hazard determinations modified by each LOMR will be used to
calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their
contents.

DATES: Each LOMR was finalized as in the table below.

ADDRESSES: Each LOMR is available for inspection at both the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the table below and online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
[email protected]; or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard determinations as shown in the
LOMRs for each community listed in the table below. Notice of these
modified flood hazard determinations has been

published in newspapers of local circulation and 90 days have elapsed
since that publication. The Deputy Associate Administrator for
Insurance and Mitigation has resolved any appeals resulting from this
notification.
    The modified flood hazard determinations are made pursuant to
section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4105, and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The new or modified flood hazard information is the basis for the
floodplain management measures that the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    This new or modified flood hazard information, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities.
    This new or modified flood hazard determinations are used to meet
the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and are used to
calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new
buildings, and for the contents in those buildings. The changes in
flood hazard determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to
review the final flood hazard information available at the address
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service
Center at https://msc.fema.gov.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-81642; File No. SR-Phlx-2017-55)

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ PHLX LLC; Notice of Filing
of Proposed Rule Change To Amend Certain Sections of Rules 1024,
Conduct of Accounts for Options Trading, and of 1025, Supervision of
Accounts, To Conform Them More Closely To Comparable Rules of the
Chicago Board Options Exchange (``CBOE'') and To Make Minor
Clarifications and Corrections to the Text

September 18, 2017.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on September 7, 2017 NASDAQ PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'')
the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III, below,
which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend certain sections of Rules 1024,
Conduct of Accounts for Options Trading, and of 1025, Supervision of
Accounts, to conform them more closely to comparable rules of the
Chicago Board Options Exchange (``CBOE'') and to make minor
clarifications and corrections to the text.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqphlx.cchwallstreet.com/ com/, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    Rules 1024 and 1025 contain a range of regulatory requirements
generally applicable to Phlx members and member organizations that
conduct a public customer options business. The Exchange is proposing a
number of changes to certain sections of those rules to clarify the
language of those rules and to correct inaccuracies. The Exchange also
proposes to change certain rule language to conform the rules more
closely to CBOE rules dealing with the same subject matter, in order to
more easily facilitate compliance by dual members and to prevent
inadvertent misunderstandings of the rules' requirements that can arise
from slight wording differences. These rule changes are generally
intended to promote more effective regulatory compliance by Exchange
members and member organizations. The proposed changes are detailed
below.
Rule 1024(a)(i)
    Rule 1024(a)(i) governs registration of Options Principals.\3\ The
rule currently provides that no member or member organization or
individual associated with a member organization shall be approved to
transact options business with the public until such persons, who are
designated as Options Principals, have been approved by and registered
with the Exchange. Additionally, it provides that persons engaged in
the supervision of options sales practice or a person to whom the
designated general partner or executive officer (pursuant to Rule 1025)
or another Registered Options Principal \4\ delegates the authority to
supervise options sales practices shall be designated as Options
Principals. Finally, the rule states that all members and member
organizations must use Web CRD to submit Form U4, Uniform Application
for Securities Industry Registration or Transfer filings on behalf of
their Options Principals. Members and member organizations are required
under the rule to amend Form U4 filings not later than thirty (30) days
after the filer knew or should have known of the facts which gave rise
to the amendment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Rule 612(d).
    \4\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is proposing to amend Rule 1024(a)(i) by adopting
language requiring Options Principals to electronically file a Uniform
Application for Securities Industry Registration or Transfer (Form U4)
with Web CRD, to successfully complete an examination prescribed by the
Exchange and specified in Rule 1024 for the purpose of demonstrating an
adequate knowledge of the options business and of the Rules of the
Exchange, and to further agree in the U4 filing to abide by the Bylaws
and Rules of the Exchange and the Rules of The Options Clearing
Corporation. The Exchange is proposing to remove the sentence that
requires members and member organizations to amend Form U4 filings not
later than thirty (30) days after the filer knew or should have known
of the facts which gave rise to the amendment. However, the Exchange
proposes to add language requiring members and member organizations
that are required to complete Form U4 to promptly (but in any event no
later than 30 days after the filer knew or should have known of the
facts which gave rise to the need for the amendment) electronically
file any required amendments to Form U4 with Web CRD. Additionally, new
language is proposed that would require termination of employment or
affiliation of any Registered Options Principal in such capacity to be
promptly, but in any event no later than 30 days following the
termination, electronically reported to Web CRD together with a brief
statement of the reason for such termination on Form U5. The amendment
would conform Rule 1024(a) more closely to CBOE Rule 9.2. The proposal
would also correct a reference in the second sentence to ``options sale
practice,'' substituting for that term ``options sales practices''.
Rule 1024(b)(ii)
    Rule 1024(b)(ii) generally provides that, in approving a customer's
account for options transactions, a member or member organization shall
exercise due diligence to learn the essential facts as to the customer
and his investment objectives and financial situation, and shall make a
record of such information. It also provides for approval and for
confirmation of approval of the customer's account by a Registered
Options Principal qualified individual.
    For purposes of clarity, the Exchange proposes to eliminate
references in Rule 1024(b)(ii) to a ``specific'' or ``specified''
Registered Options Principal. It also proposes to delete the words
``qualified individual'' as they appear following references to
Registered Options Principals to eliminate any ambiguity, as it is not
clear what a Registered Options Principal qualified individual

means if not a Registered Options Principal. Finally, the Exchange
proposes to relocate the phrase ``within a reasonable period of time''
simply to conform the rule in this respect more closely to CBOE Rule
9.7.
Rule 1024(c)(v)
    Rule 1024(c)(v) is proposed to be amended by changing an inaccurate
internal cross reference, from Rule 1029(c) to Rule 1029(b).
Rule 1024 Commentary .01 Section 8
    The Exchange is proposing to delete the word ``other'' as
unnecessary and to correct the placement of a closing parenthesis,
moving it from after the word ``transactions'' to after the word
``commodities''.
Rule 1024 Commentary .03
    The Exchange is proposing to add the inadvertently omitted word
``an'' before the word ``opportunity''.
Rule 1024 Commentary .06
    The Exchange is proposing to reword the sentence for clarity, so
that it states that individuals engaged in the supervision of options
sales practices are required to be designated as Options Principals and
are required to qualify as an Options Principal by passing one of the
examinations referred to in the rule. The Exchange also proposes to
amend the rule's reference to the Series 9/10 examination, in order to
use the same name that the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(``FINRA'') uses for that examination.
Rule 1024 Commentary .07
    The Exchange proposes to add the inadvertently dropped word
``reviewing'' to a sentence that requires individuals who are delegated
responsibility for reviewing, among other things, the acceptance of
discretionary accounts, to be designated as Options Principals and pass
the Series 4 examination.
Rule 1025(a)(iii)A
    The Exchange proposes to substitute the word ``responsibility'' for
the word ``responsibilities'' simply to conform the rule more closely
to CBOE Rule 9.8(a)(3)(i).
Rule 1025(b)(i)
    The Exchange proposes to make minor, nonsubstantive, clarifying
wording changes which would conform the rule language more closely to
that of CBOE Rule 9.8(b)(1), by removing the unnecessary words ``above-
noted'', by replacing the words ``requirements applicable to'' with the
words ``responsibility of'', by deleting the unnecessary words
``however, the'', and by replacing the words ``other than the principal
supervisory office if such documents and information'' with the words
``off premises so long as the records''.
Rule 1025(b)(iii)
    The Exchange proposes to capitalize the word ``Rule'' in a
reference to SEC rule 17a-4, to conform the language more closely to
CBOE Rule 9.8(b)(3).
Rule 1025(b) Concluding Sentence
    The words ``any person'' are proposed to be substituted for the
words ``a person'', and an inaccurate reference to ``this paragraph
(b)(3)'' is proposed to be corrected to read ``this paragraph
(b)(iii)''.
Rule 1025(d)
    An extraneous word ``the'' is proposed to be deleted before the
word ``proximity'' to conform more closely to CBOE Rule 9.8(d)(1)(i),
and an inaccurate reference to Rule 1025(c) is proposed to be corrected
to read Rule 1025(e).
Rule 1025(e)
    The Exchange proposes to remove an extraneous comma to conform the
rule more closely to CBOE Rule 9.8(e)(1) and to change an incorrect
internal cross reference from paragraph (e)(1) to paragraph (e)(i).
Rule 1025(g)
    Currently, Rule 1025(g) requires each member organization that
conducts a non-member customer business to submit each year to the
Exchange a written report on the member organization's supervision and
compliance effort during the preceding year. The Exchange proposes to
expand the requirement to conform it more closely to CBOE Rule 9.8(g),
by specifying that the report must also detail the adequacy of the
member organization's ongoing compliance processes and procedures. The
proposed amendments to Rule 1025(g) would also require the Chief
Executive Officer (or equivalent) to certify that the member
organization has in place processes to test the effectiveness of
policies and procedures on a periodic, rather than on a regular, basis.
This change would conform the Exchange's requirement more closely to
the comparable CBOE Rule 9.8(g)5(i)(C) requirement. The proposal would
also correct the spelling of the word ``preceding'' in Rule
1025(g)(ii), add missing semicolons to an itemized list found in Rule
1025(g)(iii), correct inaccurate internal cross references in Rules
1025(g)(v)(C) and (D), as well as correct the placement of a closing
parenthesis in Rule 1025(g)(v)(C). Finally, it would replace the
awkward phrase ``this requirement of this Rule'' with ``the
requirements of this Rule''.
Rule 1025(h)
    Rule 1025(h) currently provides that each member organization shall
submit the report required by Rule 1024(g) to its one or more control
persons or, if the member organization has no control person, to the
audit committee of its board of directors or its equivalent committee
or group. The Exchange proposes to replace the inaccurate reference to
Rule 1024(g) with a correct reference to Rule 1025(g). The Exchange
proposes to add language to the end of the rule to establish the
meaning of ``control person,'' proposed to be defined as a person who
controls the member organization. The new language would define the
term ``control'' as meaning the power to exercise a controlling
influence over the management or policies of the member organization,
unless such power is solely the result of an official position with the
member organization. Finally, the new language would state that any
person who owns beneficially, directly or indirectly, more than 20% of
the voting power in the election of directors of the member
organization, or more than 25% of the voting power in the election of
directors of any other corporation which directly or through one or
more affiliates owns beneficially more than 25% of the voting power in
the election of directors of the member organization, shall be presumed
to control the member organization. The proposed new language is based
on CBOE Rules 9.8(h) and 1.1(k), which is incorporated by reference
into CBOE Rule 9.8(h).
Rule 1025 Commentary .02 and .03
    Rule 1025 Commentary .02 is proposed to be amended by deleting the
introductory phrase ``In meeting their supervisory responsibilities''
in order to conform the language more closely to CBOE Rule 9.8,
Interpretations and Policies .01. The rule currently requires member
organizations conducting a non-member customer business to enforce
written procedures governing the conduct of options accounts. As
revised, the written procedures would be required to detail the
specific methods used to supervise all non-member customer accounts and
all orders in such accounts. This amendment would also provide greater
clarity regarding the required content of

the procedures and also would conform the rule more closely to CBOE
Rule 9.8 Interpretations and Policies .01. The last sentence of
Commentary .02 would be revised by replacing the phrase ``short
uncovered'' options positions with the phrase ``uncovered short''
options positions. Finally, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 1025
Commentary .03 by adding the word ``shall'' to the first sentence, to
conform the language more closely to CBOE Rule 9.8, Interpretations and
Policies .02.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
The amendments should remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism
of a free and open market and a national market system, by correcting
various aspects of the rules and by adding additional clarity to the
rules. The minor corrections and clarifications described above should
improve the accuracy of the rules and should also improve their
readability, making them more understandable and thereby facilitating
easier compliance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, where certain sections of the Phlx rules are proposed
to be amended to conform more closely to comparable rules of the CBOE,
the proposed rule change should create greater regulatory parity among
the two options exchanges regarding members' obligations in the areas
of conduct of accounts for options trading and supervision of accounts.
The proposed amendments should create more efficient regulatory
compliance by members of both exchanges due to reduction of differences
in wording and consequent potential for inadvertent regulatory
noncompliance. In this regard, the Exchange believes it is in the
public interest for a more consistently worded regulatory policy and
standard regarding conduct of accounts for options trading and
supervision of accounts to be in effect across options exchanges, for
the benefit of customers.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As stated above the proposal is
designed to correct various aspects of the rules and to add additional
clarity to various sections of the rules, which are equally applicable
to all similarly situated members and member organizations. Certain
aspects of the proposed rule change to amend various sections of Rules
1024 and 1025 are also designed to conform to Phlx rules more closely
to comparable rules of CBOE, thus eliminating a potential source of
regulatory arbitrage and facilitating compliance by dual members.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the Exchange consents, the Commission shall: (a) By order approve
or disapprove such proposed rule change, or (b) institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]

In the Matter of AdZone Research, Inc.; Order of Suspension of
Trading

July 5, 2006.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of
AdZone Research, Inc. (``AdZone''), a Delaware corporation
headquartered in Calverton, New York. Questions have arisen regarding
the accuracy of assertions by AdZone, and by others, in press releases
and Internet postings to investors concerning, among other things: (1)
The company's contracts with two non-profit organizations, (2) the
nature and extent of the orders that the company has received for the
sale of licenses of its software products, and (3) the company's recent
contributions to its employee Incentive Stock Plan.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of the above-listed company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to section 12(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the above-listed
company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT, July 5, 2006,
through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on July 18, 2006.

    By the Commission.

TIMM WORK ASSIGNMENT MANAGER U. S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY ENDOCRINE DISRUPTOR SCREENING PROGRAM WASHINGTON, D. C.

BATTELLE 505 KING AVENUE COLUMBUS, OH 43201 1 Letter Report 05 05 03 Work Assignment 2 24 Pre Validation of the Aromatase Assay using Human, Bovine, and Porcine Placental Microsomes, and Human Recombinant Microsomes Phase I Pre Optimization Experiments for Substrate Characterization for Human Recombinant and Human Placental Microsomes 1 Introduction The pre optimization experiments were designed to assess the chemical and biological properties of the critical components that are used in the aromatase assay. These experiments include characterizing the radiolabeled substrate and preparation of placental microsomes. In addition, each of the four microsomal preparations ( human, bovine, and porcine placental microsomes and the human recombinant microsomes) will be analyzed for protein concentration, cytochrome P450 ( P450) content, and aromatase activity. The P450 content measurement will provide assurance that the enzyme is present ( and in what concentration/ preparation type) prior to beginning the more elaborate aromatase activity assay. Finally, a single aromatase activity assay run using each type of microsomal preparation was included as a pre optimization experiment in order to determine whether the preparations are of sufficient activity to conduct the definitive optimization experiments.

This report includes the results of the pre optimization experiments related to substrate characterization and human recombinant and human placental microsomes.

2 Materials and Methods 2.1 Chemicals Non radiolabeled 4 androstene 3,17 dione ( ASDN) was received through Battelle from Sigma ( St. Louis, MO). [ 1$ 3H( N)] Androst 4 ene 3,17 dione ([ 3H] ASDN) was obtained from Perkin Elmer Life Science, Boston, MA. NADP, glucose 6 phosphate, glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase, glycerol, niacinamide, dithiothreitol and bovine serum albumin ( BSA) were purchased from Sigma. Sodium phosphate monobasic, sodium phosphate dibasic, sucrose and propylene glycol were from JT Baker. Human recombinant CYP19, coexpressed with P450 reductase, ( Human CYP19 + P450 Reductase SUPERSOMES   ) was purchased from BD Gentest ( Woburn, MA). Ultima Gold scintillation cocktail was purchased from Packard Instruments. DC Protein assay kit was purchased from Biorad ( Hercules, CA) . 2 2.2 HPLC System The HPLC system consisted of a Waters 2690 Separations Module, a Waters 2487 Dual 8 Absorbance Detector and a $ RAM Model 3 flow through radioactivity detector ( IN/ US, Inc., Tampa) with a 250 : L glass scintillant cell. Data was collected using Waters Millennium32 Client/ Server Chromatography Data System Software, Version 4.0.

2.3 Substrate Characterization The nonradiolabeled ASDN was dissolved in ethanol ( 0.01 mg/ mL) and analyzed by HPLC using a Zorbax SB C18 column ( 4.6 x 250 mm). The mobile phase was 55: 15: 30 ( v: v: v) distilled, deionized water: tetrahydrofuran: methanol with a flow rate of 1 mL/ min. The eluant was monitored by UV absorbance at 240 nm. Under these conditions, the ASDN had a retention time of ca. 15 min.

The purity of the [ 3H] androstenedione ([ 3H] ASDN) was determined by HPLC using the conditions described above, with the addition of monitoring eluant with the radiochemical detector. Eluant fractions were collected manually into vials containing ca. 10 mL Ultima Gold and assayed for radiochemical content by liquid scintillation spectrometry ( LSS). The retention time of [ 3H] ASDN was ca. 15 min.

2.4 Specific Activity Determination A sample containing 1 mg ASDN/ mL ethanol was prepared. Dilutions containing 0.54 to 4.28 ng ASDN/ 20 : L were prepared in distilled, deionized water and were analyzed by HPLC in duplicate using the conditions described above. A standard curve was constructed relating peak height to ASDN concentration. Samples of [ 3H] ASDN were analyzed by HPLC using the same conditions and fractions were collected and assayed for radiochemical content by LSS. The specific activity of the [ 3H] ASDN was determined by the relationship between the height of the ASDN peak and the amount of radioactivity contained in the peak.

2.5 Placental Microsome Preparation A human placenta was received from a local hospital and placed on ice within 10 min of delivery. The tissue was placed on a ice chilled board and the soft tissue was dissected away from the membrane. The soft tissue was placed in ice cold buffer ( 2: 1 tissue weight: buffer; 0.25 M sucrose, 0.05 M sodium phosphate ( pH 7.0), 0.04 M niacinamide), minced with scissors and then was homogenized in portions using a Polytron homogenizer. The homogenate was transferred to centrifuge tubes and centrifuged at a setting of 10,000g for 30 min at 4 NC in an IEC B 22M centrifuge. The supernatant was transferred to ultracentrifuge tubes and was centrifuged at a setting of 35,000 rpm ( which is equivalent to approximately 100,000g) in a refrigerated Beckman L5 50B Ultracentrifuge for 1 h to obtain the crude microsomal pellet. The supernatant was decanted and discarded and the microsomal pellet was resuspended in a chilled buffer containing 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. The sample was centrifuged again at a setting of 35,000 rpm in the Beckman L5 50B for 1 h to wash the microsomes. This washing 3 procedure was repeated one additional time. The twice washed microsomal pellet was resuspended in chilled 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer ( pH 7.4) containing 0.25 M sucrose, 20% glycerol and 0.05 mM dithiothreitol. The microsomal suspension ( total volume ca. 20.2 mL) was divided among 30 vials, was flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and was stored at ca.  70 NC.

2.6 Protein determination The protein concentration of the human placental microsome preparation, and the human recombinant microsomal preparation, was determined. A 6 point standard curve was prepared using BSA, ranging from 0.13 to 1.5 mg protein/ mL. Protein was determined by using a DC Protein Assay kit. To a 25 : L aliquot of unknown or standard, 125 : L of BioRad DC Protein Kit Reagent A was added and mixed. Next, 1 mL of BioRad DC Protein Kit Reagent B was added to each standard or unknown and the samples were vortex mixed. The samples were allowed to sit at room temperature for at least 15 min to allow for color development. The absorbances are stable for about 1 h. Each sample ( unknowns and standards) was transferred to disposable polystyrene cuvettes and the visible absorbance (@ 750 nm) was measured using a spectrophotometer. The protein concentration of the microsomal sample was determined by extrapolation of the absorbance value using the curve developed from the absorbance of the protein standards.

2.7 P450 Content P450 content was determined for the human placental microsome preparation and the human recombinant microsomal preparation. Using the carbon monoxide ( CO) spectrum assay of Omura and Sato ( 1964), a single experiment using each of the preparations was conducted as described below.

A sample of each microsomal preparation was diluted 1: 20 in 0.1 M phosphate buffer ( pH 7.4). The diluted sample was gently bubbled with carbon monoxide for approximately 10 s and then was divided between a pair of matched cuvettes ( 1 mL/ cuvette). Next, a few grains of solid sodium dithionite was added to the sample cuvette with gentle mixing. The visible spectrum was then recorded from 400 to 500 nm using a split beam spectrophotometer.

The concentration ( nmol/ mL) of P450 was calculated according to Beer's Law using an extinction coefficient value for P450 of 100 mM 1 cm 1. The specific content ( nmol/ mg protein) was calculated by multiplying the P450 concentration ( nmol/ mL) times the dilution factor and dividing this product by the protein content ( mg/ mL) of the original sample.

2.8 Aromatase Activity Aromatase activity was determined for the human placental microsome preparation and the humna recombinant CYP19. A single experiment was conducted using only the substrate ([ 3H] ASDN/ ASDN) with each of the microsomal preparations. The assay was conducted as described in the following paragraph.

The [ 3H] ASDN/ ASDN substrate solution was prepared by combining solutions of 4 [ 3H] ASDN and ASDN. A 1 mg/ mL solution of ASDN was prepared in ethanol. Serial dilutions of this solution were prepared in assay buffer to yield a solution containing ca. 1 : g ASDN/ mL. The [ 3H] ASDN stock was diluted 1: 100 in assay buffer to yield a solution containing ca. 10 : Ci/ mL. The substrate solution was prepared by combining 275 : L of the 1 : g ASDN/ mL solution, 100 : L of the 10 : Ci [ 3H] ASDN/ mL solution and 625 : L buffer.

The assays were performed in 13x100 mm test tubes ( two for each microsomal preparation) maintained at 37 ± 1 ° C in a shaking water bath. An aliquot ( 100 : L) of propylene glycol was added to the tubes to serve as a co solvent. The substrate, [ 1$ 3H] androstenedione ( 0.1 : Ci, 50 nM), was added to the tubes. An NADPH generating system comprised of NADP+ ( 1.7 mM), glucose 6 phosphate ( 2.8 mM) and glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase ( 1.0 units) was added to each tube. The tubes were placed at 37 ± 1 ° C in the water bath for 5 min prior to initiation of the assay by the addition of the diluted microsomal suspension (~ 0.1 mg microsomal protein/ mL). The total volume was 2.0 mL, and the tubes were incubated for 30 min. The incubations were stopped by the addition of methylene chloride ( 2.0 mL); the tubes were vortexmixed for about 30 s. The tubes were then centrifuged using a Beckman GS 6R centrifuge with a GH 3.8 rotor for 10 min at a setting of 1000 rpm ( which is approximately equivalent to 230g). The methylene chloride layer was removed to a vial and weighed; the aqueous layers were extracted again with methylene chloride ( 2.0 mL). This extraction procedure was performed one additional time, each time reserving and weighing the methylene chloride layer in a separate vial. The aqueous layers was transferred to vials, weighed, and duplicate aliquots ( 0.5 mL) were weighed into 20 mL liquid scintillation counting vials. Duplicate aliquots of each methylene chloride fraction were weighed into scintillation vials. Liquid scintillation cocktail ( Ultima Gold, Packard, 10 mL) was added to each counting vial and shaken to mix the solution.

The radiochemical content of the substrate solution was determined by analyzing 5 weighed aliquots by LSS. The substrate solution specific activity was determined by dividing the radiochemical content of the substrate solution ( dpm/ g) by the total concentration of ASDN in the solution ( ASDN + [ 3H] ASDN; nmol/ g solution).

Analysis of the samples was performed using LSS as described in SOP METAB 610. Radiolabel found in the aqueous fractions represents 3H2O formed, and that in the methylene chloride fractions represents unreacted substrate.

The amount of estrogen product formed was determined by dividing the total amount of 3H2O formed by the specific activity of the [ 3H] ASDN substrate solution ( expressed in dpm/ nmol). The activity of the enzyme reaction was expressed in nmol ( mg protein) 1 min 1 and was calculated by dividing the amount of estrogen formed by the product of mg microsomal protein used times the incubation time, e. g. 30 min. 5 3 Results and Discussion 3.1 Substrate Analysis 4 Androstene 3,17 dione ( ASDN), lot number 072K1134, had a stated purity of 99% ( Figure 1). The [ 3H] ASDN coeluted with the nonradiolabeled ASDN on HPLC ( Figure 2). Information provided by the supplier of [ 3H] ASDN regarding its purity and specific activity is presented in Figure 3. The radiochemical purity of the [ 3H] ASDN was determined by HPLC at RTI to be 98% ( Figure 4). Samples of known concentration of ASDN were analyzed by HPLC, and a standard curve relating peak height to concentration of ASDN was generated. A sample of [ 3H] ASDN was analyzed by HPLC in triplicate and eluant fractions were collected and assayed for radiochemical content by LSS. The specific activity of the [ 3H] ASDN stock was determined by dividing the dpm in the peak fractions by the amount of ASDN in the peak ( calculated using the peak height and the standard curve parameters) . The data are presented in Table 1. The calculated specific activity is 26.4 Ci/ mmol. This figure is within 5% of the specific activity value ( 25.3 Ci/ mmol) provided by the supplier, therefore, 25.3 Ci/ mmol will be used as the specific activity of the stock [ 3H] ASDN for this study. The data presented confirm that the ASDN and [ 3H] ASDN are suitable for use in these studies.

3.2 Human Recombinant CYP19 The data sheet for the Human Recombinant CYP19 is presented in Figure 5. One tube of this product was thawed rapidly at 37 NC and the contents were rehomogenized and analyzed for protein and P450 content and aromatase activity. The protein content was found to be 3.5 mg/ mL, compared with the 4.2 mg/ mL stated on the data sheet. The P450 content was calculated to be 0.38 nmol/ mg protein. This value is similar to the 0.24 nmol/ mg value calculated from the data sheet information. This microsomal preparation had aromatase activity of 0.022 nmol estrogen formed/ mg protein/ min under the conditions of the assay as described above. The data sheet reported an aromatase activity value ( 1.38 nmol/ mg protein/ min) obtained using a different substrate at a significantly higher concentration. It is unclear whether the activities determined under such different conditions should be similar.

3.3 Human Placental Microsomes A human placenta from a 28 year old nonsmoker with a full term Caesarean section delivery was obtained from local hospital and microsomes were prepared. A sample of the microsomes was thawed rapidly in a water bath and rehomogenized prior to assay for protein and P450 content and aromatase activity. The protein content of the human placental microsomes was determined to be ca. 44 mg/ mL. The total protein yield for the preparation was calculated to be ca. 900 mg. This exceeds the 250 mg of protein criteria set in the protocol. P450 content of the human placental microsomes was determined to be ca. 0.048 nmol/ mg protein, which exceeds the criteria of 0.005 nmol P450/ mg protein set in the protocol. The aromatase activity of the human placental microsomes was ca. 0.015 nmol estrogen formed/ mg protein/ min; this exceeds the 5 pmol estrogen formed/ mg protein/ min acceptance criteria for this parameter. 6 4 Conclusion The ASDN and [ 3H] ASDN substrates are of sufficient purity for use in these studies. The specific activity stated by the supplier of the [ 3H] ASDN was confirmed experimentally. Both the human recombinant CYP19 and the human placental microsomes had sufficient protein and P450 content for the conduct of these studies. The aromatase activity for the two microsome preparations was similar and sufficient to proceed with the optimization phase of the study.
