Abstract

We have focused on various biological activities of acharan sulfate (AS) isolated from the giant African snail Achatina fulica. In a previous study, AS showed antiangiogenic and immunomodulating activity. We also investigated antitumor activity of AS. In vitro AS had no cytotoxicity within 0 to 200 ug/ml in tumor cells such as Lewis lung carcinoma(LLC) , KM1214 (human colon cancer cell) and Caki-1 (human kidney cancer cell) by both MTT and SRB assay. In vivo AS was used to treat C57BL/6 mice bearing LLC by subscutaneous injection. (omitted)
