Abstract

To evaluate the antitumor activity of Kamisagoonjatang(KST), Kami-jihwangtang (KJT) and Kamigoonjajihwangtang(KKJT), studies were done experimentally. The results were obtained as follows: 1. In cytotoxicity against B16-F10, HT1080, SNU, and L1210, con-centration inhibiting cell growth up to below 50% of control was recognized at $10^{-3}g/ml$ of KKJT. 2. In cytotoxicity against A549, SK-OV-3, XF498 and HCT15, concentration inhibiting cell growth up to below 30% of control was over $400{\mu}g/ml$ of KKJT only and also over $200{\mu}g/ml$ against SK-MEL-2. 3. In Inhibitory effect on activity of DNA topoisomerase I, the $IC_{50}$ was shown $200-400{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, of KST, over $400{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of KJT and $100-200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of KKJT. 4. The T/C% was 122.8 in KJT, 127.4 in KST and 158.4 in KKJ-Ttreated group in S-180 bearing ICR mice. 5. In hematological changes in S-180 bearing ICR mice, numbers of WBC were decreased significantly in KJT and KKJT treated groups as compared with control, whereas those of platelet were increased with no significance in all groups as compared with control. From above results it was concluded that KKJT could be usefully applied for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
