Column chromatographic fractionation of the methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of the stem-bark of Anacardium occidentale led to the isolation of five compounds (1-5). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic means by comparing spectral data to be β-sitosterol (1), 2,4-dihydroxy acetophenone (2), 1-monolinolein (3), ethyl oleate (4) and β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5). These compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines: A549, SCOV3 and rat normal cell line NRK49f. Compounds 2-5 were for the first time isolated from A. occidentale.

Background: The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase enzymes. Recent studies have shown that aspirin could be used as an anti-tumor drug. Triptolide, the major compound extracted from the Chinese herb Tripteryglum wilfordii Hook.f, has now been shown that it can inhibit tumor growth. The aim of this study was to analyze the anti-tumor efficiency of aspirin and triptolide in cervical cancer cells. Methods: Viability of cervical cancer cell lines was assessed by the MTT method at various concentrations of aspirin and triptolide. Siha and HeLa cell apoptotic analysis was performed by flow cytometry. Real time-PCR and Western Blotting were used to analyze the expression of Bcl-2/Bax, Cyclin D1 and p16. Results: Viability in the combination group was significantly decreased as compared with either drug used alone. Expression change of Bcl-2/Bax, CyclinD1 and p16 appeared to play an important role in the synergistic killing effect on cervical cancer cell apoptosis. Conclusion: Aspirin and triptolide combination treatment may have synergistic anti-tumor effects on cervical cancer cells.

Two new benzopyrans 6-[1'-oxo-3'(R)-hydroxy-butyl]-5,7 -dimethoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-ben-zopyran (1) and 6-[1'-oxo-3'(R)-methoxy-butyl]-5,7 -dimethoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran (2) were isolated from the leaves of Mallotus apelta Muell.-Arg., (Euphorbiaceae). Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses, especially by 1D-, 2D-NMR and MS spectra. Compound 1 was found to have strong cytotoxic effect against two human cancer cell lines as human hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep-2, $IC_{50}\;:\;0.49\;{\mu}g/mL$) and rhabdosarcoma (RD, $IC_{50}\;:\;0.54\;{\mu}g/mL$), while compound 2 showed moderate activity against Hep-2 cell line ($IC_{50}\;:\;4.22\;{\mu}g/mL$) by in vitro assay.

본 연구에서는 clonal cell lines을 효율적으로 확립할 수 있는 방법을 제시하기 위하여 배양액 내에 catalase와 $\beta$ME 첨가가 clonal cell line 확립 효율에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 임신 50일령의 암퇘지에서 얻은 태아섬유아세포를 2회 passage한 후 동결 보관하였다가 실험에 이용하였다. 단일세포를 catalase나 $\beta$ME가 첨가된 배양액이 들어 있는 96-well dish로 옮겨 배양하였다. 단층이 형성된 세포는 4-well dish로 옮겨주어 배양하였으며, 이후 2회 이상 passage가 가능한 세포를 clonal line이 확립된 세포로 판정하였다. 실험 1에서 clonal line 확립효율에 미치는 catalase와 $\beta$ME의 효과를 검토하기 위하여 세포를 100ng/$m\ell$) catalase와 100nM $\beta$ME가 첨가된 DMEM액 내에서 배양하여 clonal line 확립효율을 검토하였다. $\beta$ME 첨가 시 clonal line 확립효율이 8.3%로 대조구의 3.2%에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났다.(P<.0.05). 그러나 catalase 첨가 시(3.6%)에는 대조구와 차이가 없었다. 실험 2에서 catalase 농도(0, 10, 100, 1,000ng/$m\ell$)에 따른 clonal line 확립효율을 검토하였다. 대조구에 비하여 모든 처리구에서 clonal line 확립 효율에 대한 첨가효과가 없었다(0-2.6%). 실험 3에서 $\beta$ME 농도(0, 10, 100, 1,000 nM)에 따른 clonal line 확립효율을 검토하였다. 100 nM의 $\beta$ME 첨가 시 clonal line 확립 효율이 9.4%로 대조구 및 타 처리구(0-l.6%)보다 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 본 연구 결과 배양액 내 catalase 첨가는 확립효율에 영향을 미치지 않지만, 100nM의 $\beta$ME 첨가로 clonal cell line의 확립효율을 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The ability of frozen-thawed fetal skin was examined to generate viable cell lines for nuclear transfer. Fetal skin frozen at -20$-20^{\circ}C$, $-30^{\circ}C$ or $-80^{\circ}C$ in the presence of 5% DMSO used as tissue explants to generate somatic cells. The resultant confluent cells were then used as donors for nuclear transfer (NT). Of the bovine NT embryos reconstracted from the somatic cells, 62.3%, 76.6% to 65% showed cleavage 70.5%, 81.9% to 78.5% reached the stage of morula formation and 39.7%, 43.2% or 47.6% reached the blastocyst stage. There was no significant difference in development when the NT embryos were compared with those reconstracted from fresh somatic cell derieved skin tissues (72%, 75.3%, and 45.2%, for cleavage, and development to morula and blastocyst stage, respectively). NT embryos were then placed in a portable $CO_2$ incubator and carried to China from Japan by air. After reaching to farm, two NT embryos were transferred to each of 5 recipients. We obtained 2 NT calves which birth weights is 30kg and 36kg female, and gestation periods is 281 and 284 days, respectively. There were no observation any abnormality from those calves. The results indicated that cell lines derieved from bovine fetal skin cryopreserved by a simple method could be used as donors in nuclear transfer using the portable $CO_2$ incubator.

We have synthesized various 6-substituted 2-oxo-purine nucleosides from key intemediate, 6-[(4-methylphenylthio)-2-oxo-9(2, 3, 5tri-o-acetyl-$\beta$-D-ribofuanoslyl)]-2, 3- dihydropurine in relatively high yields by one step nucleophilic substitution. Various isoguanosine, xanthosine analogs and other 2-oxo-purine nucleosides containing nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen at C-6 of purine base were easily obtained by this method. The structures of the products were established on the basis of their spectral data studies. And cytotoxicity of resulting synthetic 6-substituted-2-oxo-purine nucleosides against some tumor cell-lines was examined. $Ed_{50}$ values of these synthetic compounds were above $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ except isoguanosine, $N^6$-methyl isoguanosine and thioxanthosine analogs.

1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP), a soil fumigant against nematodes, is a genotoxic carcinogen and also is classified by World Wildlife Fund as endocrine disruptors. DBCP has been extensively studied on genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and damage in male reproductive-related organs. However, information on precise mechanism of mutagenesis and carcinogenesis of DBCP is yet unknown. Thus the mutation spectrum and mechanism of DBCP was determined in lacI transgenic Big Blu $e^{R}$ Rat2 fibroblast cell lines.(omitted)d)

Two known polyoxygenated cyclohexene derivatives, ferrudiol and zeylenol, and a new analog, ellipeiopsol D, were also isolated. The chalcone 2 exhibited cytotoxic activity against human small-cell lung-cancer (NCl-H187), epidermoid carcinoma (KB) and breast cancer (BC) cell lines with $IC_{50}$ values of 1.40, 5.31 and $13.92\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. This compound also showed antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum with an $IC_{50}$ value of $7.1\;{\mu}g/mL$ as well as antimicrobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis with a MIC of 25 mg/mL.

ErbB3/HER3 is a cell surface receptor which belongs to the ErbB/HER subfamily of receptor protein tyrosine kinases. When expressed in NIH/3T3 cells, ErbB3 can form heterodimeric coreceptor with endogenous ErbB2. Among known intracellular effectors of the ErbB2/ErbB3 are mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase. In the present study, we studied relative contributions of above two distinct signaling pathways to the heregulin-induced mitogenic response via activated ErbB3. For this, clonal NIH-3T3 cell lines expressing wild-type ErbB3 and ErbB3 mutants were stimulated with $heregulin{\beta}_1$. While cyclin D1 level was markedly high and further increased by treatment of heregulin in cells expressing wild-type ErbB3, the elimination of either Shc binding or PI 3-kinase binding lowered both levels. This result was supported by the reduction of cyclin $D_1$ expression by preteatment with MAPK kinase inhibitor or PI 3-kinase inhibitor before stimulation with heregulin. In accordance with the cyclin $D_1$ expression, elimination of either Shc binding or PI 3-kinase binding reduced the heregulin-induced DNA synthesis and cell growth rate. Our results obtained by the comparison of wild-type and ErbB3 mutants indicate that the full induction of the cell cycle progression through $G_1/S$ phase by ErbB3 activation is dependent on both Shc/MAPK and PI 3-kinase signal transduction pathways.
