Abstract
Effects of Erythronium japonicum methanol extract on ICR mouse with induced abdominal cancer and L1210 cells were studied. Administration of methanol extract ($10-100\;{\mu}g/20\;g$ body weight) prolonged life by 47.8% and decreased number of L1210 cells with $IC_{50}\;of\;54.6\;{\mu}g/mL$ after 3 days culture, whereas little effect was observed against normal lymphocytes (<6% compared to 83.2% of L1210 cells under the same condition). Increased SOD and GPx enzyme activities, and remarkably augmented generation of ${O_2}^-$ ion in L1210 cells by E. japonicum extract, implied that reactive oxygen species including ${O_2}^-$ ion, might have participated in L1210 cell death
