Oriental medicine as a candidate for effective cancer treatment recently gain positive concerns in fields of therapeutic oncology. that is why some herbal medicines have been empirically safer in toxicity than anticancer drugs used in western medicine, and to show excellent therapeutic efficacy in human trial. Thus, these effects by clinically applied-herbs have not yet fully demonstrated in experimental tumor model. This study was initiated to evaluate the antitumor effect of Insambaekhaptang as candidate of antitumor-herbal agent against B16 melanoma metastasized into C57BL/6 mice lung. In experiment to test whether Insambaekhaptang can directly kill cancer cells in vitro or not, Insambaekhaptang showed direct killing action in concentration or higher against B16 melanoma cells using MTT assay, and showed lower IC50. Another experiment to know whether Insambaekhaptang can inhibit growth and metastasis of cancer cell or not, Insambaekhaptang significantly inhibited Solid tumor by intraperiperal injected-melanoma and lung metastasis induced by intravenous injected-melanoma in inbred C57BL/6 mice. When quantitative survival time increasing, we could obtain results that increased 113% in treated by Insambaekhaptang. These results show that Insambaekhaptang can inhibit growth of B16 melanoma cells through various biological mechanisms.

The experimental studies were done to research the clinical effects of lnsambaekhabtang and Insambaekhabtanggamibang on the xylene-poisoned-lung damage and hypoprothrombinemia induced by warfarin injection in rats and mice. The results are as follows: 1. As to the hemostatic time in mice, lnsambaekhabtang was recongnized no significance but Insambaekhabtanggamibang was recognized significance( P<0.02 ). 2. As to the prothrombine time in rats. lnsambaekhabtang and lnsambaekhabtanggamibang Were recognized significance ( P<0.05, P<0.05 ). 3. As to the recalcification in rats, Insambaekhabtang and lnsambaekhabtanggamibang Were recognized significance ( P<0.05, P<0.02). 4. As to the lung TBA values in Xylene intoxicated rats, Insambaekhabtang was recognized significance but Insambaekhabtanggamibang was no recognized significance ( P<0.05). 5. As to the oxygen consumption in Xylene intoxicated rats, Insambaekhabtang and lnsambaekhabtanggamibang were no recognized significance. According to the above findings, it is suggested that the solid extract of Insambaekhabtang and Insambaekhabtanggamibang revealed effects on the xylene-poisoned-Iung damage and hypoprothrombinemia induced by warfarin injection in rats and mice.

Experimental studies were done to research the Clinical effects of Insambakhab-tang on the Anti-allergic effect and pulmonary function of O₃ intoxicated Mice. Anti-allergic effect experiment consisted of vascular permeability responses to intradermal histamine and serotonin, 48hrs homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis provoked by the IgE-like antibody against egg white albumin, and delayed type hypersensitivity responses to Picryl Chloride and SRBC. Pulmonary function of O₃ intoxicated Mice experimental consisted of pulmonary thromboembolism (Sodium Arachidonate-induced and ADP-induced), lung TBA value, and serum Na/sup +/, K/sup +/, Cl/sup +/ level. The results obtained as follows; 1. In the effects of Insambakhab-tang on the pulmonary thromboembolism by Sodium Arachidonic acid and ADP, Insambakhab-tang group revealed significant effect. 2. In the effects of Insambakhab-tang on the vascular permeability responses to intradermal histamine, Insambakhab-tang group revealed significant effect. 3. In the effects of Insambakhab-tang on the vascular permeability responses to intradermal serotonine, Insambakhab-tang group revealed significant effect. 4. In the 48hrs homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis provoked by the IgE-like antibody against egg white albumin, Insambakhab-tang group revealed significant effect. 5. In the delayed type hypersensitivity responses to Picryl Chloride, Insambakhab-tang group revealed significant effect. 6. Insambakhab-tang group revealed significant effect on decrease of the lung TBA value of lung. 7. In the effects of Insambakhab-tang on Serum Na/sup +/, K/sup +/ Level in O₃-intoxicated Mice. Insambakhab-tang group revealed none significant effect, but In the effects of Insambakhab-tang on Serum Cl/sup +/ Level in O₃-intoxicated Mice, Insambakhab-tang group revealed significant effect.
