This study was conducted to obtain acute information of the oral dose toxicity of lyophilized water extract of Pinelliae Rhizoma, a dried tuber of Pinellia ternata (PR) in male and female mice. In order to calculated 50% lethal dose (LD$_{50}$) and approximate lethal dose (ALD), test material was once orally administered to male and female ICR mice at dose levels of 2000, 1000, 500, 250, 125 and 0 (vehicle control) ml/kg (body weight). The mortality and changes in body weight, clinical signs, gross observation, organ weight and histopathology of principle organs were monitored 14 days after treatment with PR extract. We could not find any mortalities, clinical signs, changes in the body and organ weights, gross and histopathological findings except for dose-dependent increases in the hepatic fatty change frequencies detected in PR extract 2000 and 1000mg/kg treated in both male and female mice. The results obtained in this study suggest that LD$_{50}$ and approximate LD in mice after single oral dose of PR extracts were considered over 2000 mg/kg in both and female male mice, but more than 1000mg/kg of PR extracts treatment could induce slight hepatotoxicity the fatty changes in mice.

Neutropenia is a major dose-limiting side effect of cancer chemotherapy. The therapeutic effects of CJ-50001 were examined on neutropenia caused by anticancer agents. Neutropenia was induced by cyclophosphomide (130 mg/kg), doxorubicin (4.5 mg/kg), and vincristine (1 mg/kg) in normal ICR mice and by cyclophosphamide (200 mg/kg) in CT26 adenocarcinoma bearing BALB/C mice. After the subcutaneous injection of anticancer agents, we administered subcutaneously recombinant human granulocyte-colonystimulating factor (100$\mu$g/kg/day) to mice in order to stimulate neutrophil production. In normal and tumor-bearing mice, neutrophil production efficacy of CJ-50001 (rG-CSF) was similar to that of Grasin. These results suggest that CJ-50001 could be effective in its clinical use for neutropenia treatment.

유기인계 농약에 대한 cholinesterase(ChE)활성저해 관계를 규명 하고자 in vivo와 in vitro 실험을 하였다. 병아리 혈장의 ChE 활성은 $23{\mu}mol$/min/g protein이었다. in vivo에서 terbufos의 투여량을 $LD_{50}$의 0.2배(0.362 mg/kg)와 0.5배(0.905 mg/kg)로 투여하였을 경우, 투여 15분 후에 ChE 활성이 각각 36%와 96%까지 저해되었으며 그 후 회복이 일어난다. in vitro에서 유기인계의 P에 S가 결합된 P=S구조의 phosphorodithioate와 phosphorothioate의 Ki는 $74{\sim}322\;mole^{-1}min^{-1}$로 낮았다. 그러나 P에 S가 산화되어 O가 결합된 P=O구조의 phosphate와 phosphorothiolate의 Ki는 $13898{\sim}79610\;mole^{-1}min^{-1}$로 높았다. 따라서 P=S가 P=O로 산화됨으로서 ChE의 저해도가 커져서 독성이 강해짐을 확인하였다. phosphorodithioate와 phosphorothioate형의 $pI_{50}$값은 $21{\sim}102 mg/L(ppm)$ 이었다. 그러나 phosphate와 phosphorothiolate형의 $pI_{50}$값은 $0.519{\sim}0.071$ mg/L(ppm)이었다. 즉 ChE을 이용한 enzyme-inhibition(EI)법을 유기인계 농약의 정성적 검출에 이용한다면, P=O구조인 phosphate와 phosphorothiolate형은 1ppm이하 즉 ppb단위까지 정성적 검출이 가능하다.

Objectives : The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of Sargassum (Sargassum pallidum (TURN.) C. AG.; SP) on the experimental colitis induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) in mice. Methods : ICR mice were divided into 7 groups (NOR, CON, $SS50\times5$, $SP20\times3$, $SP50\times3$, $SP20\times5$, $SP50\times5$). TNBS processing was intrarectally applied to all experimental groups on the 3rd experiment day, except the normal group (NOR). For investigating the prophylactic effect, SP at doses of 20 mg/kg ($SP20\times5$) and 50 mg/kg ($SP50\times5$) were orally administered for 5 days. The SP at doses of 20 mg/kg ($SP20\times3$) and 50 mg/kg ($SP50\times3$) were orally administered for 3 days after the colitis induction in order to check the effect of treatment. As a positive control group, sulfasalazine 50 mg/kg ($SS50\times5$) was administrated. Macroscopic findings of epithelial tissue on mice were measured by colon length and macroscopic score. Histologic findings were also checked by crypt cell, epithelial cell, inflammatory cell and edema of submucosa. We measured the ability of SP to inhibit lipid peroxidation and myeloperoxidase activity. We also measured levels of the inflammatory markers, interleukin (IL)-$1\beta$ and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), its transcription factor activation, phospho-NF-${\kappa}B$ (pp65), in the colon by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoblot analysis. We measured activation of fecal bacterial enzyme, $\beta$-glucuronidase and degradation activation of fecal glycosaminoglycan (GAG), and hyaluronic acid. Results : Oral administration of SP on mice inhibited TNBS-induced colon shortening and myeloperoxidase activity in the colon of mice as well as IL-$1\beta$ and COX-2 expression. SP also inhibited TNBS-induced lipid peroxidation and pp65 activation in the colon of mice. SP inhibited $\beta$-glucuronidase activation and fecal hyaluronic acid degradation activation as well. Conclusions : SP could be a possible herbal candidate and preventive prebiotic agent for treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Further experiments to differentiate effects of SP on IBD, such as other solutions and extracting times, might be promising.

The vascular relaxant effects on isolated rat aorta of amlodipine camsylates (S-, R-enantiomer, and R/S-racemate), were evaluated and compared with that of S-amlodipine besylate. Furthermore, antihypertensive effects were measured in spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). The S-amlodipine camsylate concentration-dependently inhibited $Ca^{2+}$-induced contraction of rat aorta with a very slow onset of action (reached its maximum at 3.5h; $ED_{50}:\;1.50\;{\pm}\;0.24$ nM), having a potency 2-fold higher than those of R/S-amlodipine camsylate $(ED_{50}:\;3.36\;{\pm}\;0.91\;nM)$ and similar to those of S-amlodipine besylate $(ED_{50}:\;1.44\;{\pm}\;0.14\;nM)$, whereas the R-amlodipine camsylate has 590-fold lower vasorelaxant activity $(ED_{50}:\;886.4\;{\pm}\;49.7\;nM)$. In SHR, orally administered S-amlodipine camsylate produced a dose-dependent and long-lasting (>>10 h) antihypertensive effect $(ED_{20}:\;0.89\;mg/kg)$, with a potency 2-fold higher than those of R/S-amlodipine camsylate $(ED_{20}:\;1.82\;mg/kg)$ and similar to those of S-amlodipine besylate $(ED_{20}:\;0.71\;mg/kg)$. In contrast, the R-amlodipine camsylate has no effect even-though administrated high concentration 10 mg/kg. These results suggest that S-amlodipine camsylate has the potency and long-lasting antihypertensive activity as single enantiomer drug, and its antihypertensive effect is not significantly different to that of S-amlodipine besylate.

6-[(N-4-Fluorophenyl)amino]-7-chloro-5,8-quinolinedione(RCK3) was tested for antifungal activities, in vivo, against Candida albicans. RCK3 was compared with ketoc onazole and fluconazole in the treatment of systemic infection with Candida albicans in normal mice. The therapeutic potential of RCK3 had been assessed by evaluating their activities (survival rate) against systemic infections in normal mice. RCK3 had $ED_{50},\;8.78{\pm}0.18mg/kg$ but ketoconazole and fluconazole had $ED_{50},\;8.00{\pm}0.73,\;10.00{\pm}0.43mg/kg$ respectively. Intraperitoneally administered RCK3 at the $ED_{50}$, 8.78mg/kg for 7 days and 14 days reduced Candida albicans colony count in the kidneys and livers as well as ketoconazole and fluconazole at these $ED_{50}$, 8.00 and 10.00mg/kg. And administered RCK3 at the $ED_{50}$ for 14 days improved survival rates better than ketoconazole.
