Gastrodia elata Blume is a major imp0l1ant medicinal resource in Korea. In order to confirm the biological activities of Gastrodia elata Blume, we carried out various in vitro assays. Of them, anti-oxidant and anti-tumor activities were detected from assays. The prototype of Gastrodia elata Blume extracts was used for 1he evaluation of DPPH, FRAP, hydroxyradical scavenging assay as anti-oxidant assays, as well as anti-tumor asctivities as wound assay and invasion assay. As a result, the prototype of Gastrodia elata Blume extracts showed potent anti-oxidative activity and anti-tumor activity in vitro. These above results suggest that 1he Gastrodia elata Blume extracts could have potential to alleviate oxidation process, cell motility activity, and tumorigenesis.

천연의 Triterpene이나 Steroid의 01igo당 배당체는 항균작용, 소염작용, 항암작용등의 유용한 생리활성을 가지는것이 많다. 따라서 이들 화합물군으로 부터 신의약품이 개발될 가능성이 매우크다 하겠다. 그러나 천연물은 그 작용이 약하거나 순수하게 다량 분리하기가 쉽지않다. 생리활성이 강하고, 부작용이 적은 배당체를 이용가능한 양만큼 다량을 순수하게 얻기 위하여는 합성의 기법이 절대적으로 필요하다. 이를 위하여 연구자는 천연의 총배당체 (배당체혼합물)로부터 aglycone을 얻고 여기에 g1ycosidation 반응으로 당을 결합시킴으로써 천연 또는 비 천연성 배당체를 합성하고 생리활성을 검토, 신물질을 창출하고자 한다. Aglycone으로는 Ginsenosides의 aglycone인 20(s)-protopanaxadiol 및 20(S)-protopanaxatriol, Soyasapogenol B, Oleanlic acid를 사용하고, 목표로하는 생리활성은 항암작용, 항군작용, alcohol 흡수 저해작용을 지향한다.

This study was conducted to examine the anticancer activities of Berberis koreana extracts according to different extraction processes. The highest extraction yield obtained was 8.26% following extraction by ultrasonification at 60 kHz and $60^{\circ}C$ followed by high pressure at 500MPa. Generally, the extracts from the ultrasonification process showed relatively low cytotoxicities against the human normal cell line, HEK293 showing as low as 15%. This extract inhibited the growth of the digestive related organs cell lines, human stomach adenocarcimoma cell and human epithelial adenocarcinoma cell by up to 80% when administered at 1.0 mg/mL, and showed 2.5-3.5 of selectivity. It was also found that this extract induced the production of nitric oxide levels as high $37.87\;{\mu}M$ from macrophages. For the in vivo experiment using ICR mice, the total serum IgG levels of mice treated with B. koreana extracts from ultrasonification extraction were increased by up to 57 ng/mL. The survival time of this group was longer than that of the other group after the injection of Sarcoma-180 and the increment of their body weights was also greatly suppressed. In addition, the extract showed the highest tumor inhibition activities, leading to a reduction of 78.47%. These results indicate that the highest activities of B. koreana associated with this extraction process can be significantly improved.

This study was performed to elucidate anticancer activities of various parts, such as peel, flesh, placenta, seed, stalk and stem leaf of oriental melon. Chemopreventive and anticancer effects of oriental melon extract were evaluated by detoxifying enzyme, quinone reductase (QR) inductive activity, cytotoxicity and growth inhibitory effect against hepatoma cell. Stalk and stem leaf extracts of oriental melon showed the increment of QR inductive activity with dose-dependent manner and induced quinone reductase 3.9, 1.5-fold at $200{\mu}g/mL$ respectively compared to control. The growth inhibitory effect of oriental melon extract against mouse hepatoma cell (Hepa1c1c7) was investigated by crystal violet (CV) assay. Stalk and stem leaf of oriental melon showed potent growth inhibitory effect. Based on these result, the growth inhibitory effects of stalk, stem leaf at various concentration were examined in detail by MTT assay using human hepatoma cancer cell (HepG2). All of two parts showed growth inhibitory effects and expecially stalk exhibited inhibitory effect of 60.3% at maximum concentration. The above results suggest that stalk of oriental melon has a possibility as a source of natural cancer chemopreventive materials.

This study was conducted to characterize the enhanced antioxidant and anticancer activities of Berberis koreana bark following a low temperature and high pressure extraction process. The results indicate that the B. koreana bark extracted as described showed a 93% increase in DPPH radical scavenging activity. Inhibition activity of xanthine oxidase was highest by this extraction process. In addition the growth of human lung cancer cells (A549), human stomach cancer cells (AGS), human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) and human liver cancer cells (Hep3B) were inhibited by 70.8%, 86.2%, 84.3% and 62.5% respectively. These data indicate that this low temperature and high pressure extraction technique results in the efficient extraction of bioactive compounds from rigid plant materials. This process could also be combined with other techniques to improve extraction yields and identify new biologically active substances from relatively hard plants.

This study was carried out to investigate antimicrobial and antitumoral activities of Candida kefyr TFP7 isolated from Tibetan fermented milk Strains of TFP1∼10 were isolated from Tibetan fermented milk by agar diffusion method using potato dextrose agar(PDA). Antimicrobial activities were examined against 18 microorganisms of food-related bacteria, yeast, algae, fungi and actinomycetes isolated from soil. Antitumor activities were examined against 9 human tumor cell lines. Strains of TFP2∼10 showed strong antimicrobial activities against Micrococcus luteus ATCC l1880, and strains of TFP6∼10 to actinomycetes, Streptomyces murinus JCM 4333. In antitumor test, all isolated strains(TEP1∼10) showed the growth inhibition of SNU-5 and SW-534 by 60% and 70%, respectively. Among those, the strain TFP7 showed the most antitumor activity, which was 77.5% for SNU-5 and 76.5% for SW-534. The strain was identified as Candida kefyr by use of API 20C AUX kit and scanning electron micrograph.

This study implicated that the CBT-AK5 purified from Lactobacillus casei (LAFTI L26) which showed antitumor activity in ICR mice. Hence, ICR mice were inoculated intraperitoneally Sarcoma-180 as well as CBT-AK5. Then we observed the life span and tumor increment of those ICR mice. Here our studies showed effect on two different way of treatment as intraperitoneally and orally treated in Sarcoma-180 infected ICR mice. We found that intraperitoneally treatment of Sarcoma-180 and CBT-AK5 is more effective than orally fed. The life span of the ICR mice were highly reduced after the inoculation of Sarcoma-180. Those effects like increment of body weight, the growth of ascites and solid were inhibited significantly after the treatment of CBT-AK5 in Sarcoma-180 infected ICR mice. Finally these studies suggested that CBT-AK5 isolated form Lactobacillus casei showed excellent antitumor activity against Sarcoma-180 infected ICR mice.

Antimutagenic and in vitro anticancer effects of doenjangs added with green tea extract and/or using bamboo salt were studied by Ames test using Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (Salmonella Typhimurium) TA100 and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol) -2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay on PC-3 and DU145 human prostate cancer cells, respectively. At the 1.25 mg/plate concentration, 1% green tea extract (GTE) added doenjang exhibited 85% antimutagenicity against aflatoxin $B_1$ ($AFB_1$), while the control doenjang revealed 63% antimutagenicity, showing increased antimutagenic effect by the addition of green tea extract during doenjang fermentation. GTE added doenjang also increased antimutagenic effect against MNNG. The inhibition rate of the control doenjang showed 34% at 0.625 mg/plate, while 1% and 2% GTE added doenjangs inhibited by 56% and 73% at the 0.625 and 1.25 mg/plate, respectively (p<0.05). In MTT assay, GTE added doenjangs caused 70% $\sim$ 77% inhibition on the proliferation of PC-3 human prostate cancer cells at 0.5 mg/mL while the control doenjang exhibited 46% inhibition. However, 2% GTE added doenjang showed 91% inhibition at 1.0 mg/mL. The trend of the inhibition rate was similar in DU14S human prostate adenocarcinoma cells. When bamboo salt was used instead of natural sea salt, the antimutagenicity against MNNG and in vitro anticancer effect on the prostate cancer cells greatly increased. From these results, it can be concluded that green tea extract addition to doenjang and the use of bamboo salt during doengjang preparation increased the antimutagenic and in vitro anticancer activities of the doenjang and showed a synergistic effect.
