In this study, the antitumor activities were investigated using $\beta$-lmmunan, a proteoglycan obtained from cultured mycelia of the IY009 strain of Ganoderma lucidum belonging to basidiomycetes. The result showed the significant effect of cytotoxicity test against murine sarcoma 180 and murine lymphocytic leukemia L1210 using immunized macrophage cultures by $\beta$-lmmunan. When intraperitoneally injected at 40 mg/kg/day daily for 10 days, $\beta$-lmmunan inhibited the growth of sarcoma 180 solid tumor in ICR mice by 88.8% (p<0.05). It was also observed that $\beta$-lmmunan increased life span by 85.2% (p<0.01) after treatment of 100 mg/kg/day in BDF1 mice bearing lymphocytic leukemia L1210. And combination therapy with cisplatin (dosage: 4 mg/kg) increased life span by 140.4% (p<0.05) after treatment of 100 mg/kg/day daily in BDF1 mice bearing lymphocytic leukemia L1210.

6-(1-azidoalkyl)-DMNQ derivatives compared to 2-(1-azidoalkyl)-DMNQ isomers, exhibited higher cytotoxic activity against L1210 mouse leukemia cells and stronger inhibition of DNA topoisomerase-I (TOPO-I), suggesting involvement of steric hindrance. However, similar antitumor activity against mice bearing S-180 cell was shown by 2-an 6-(1-azidoalkyl)-DMNQ derivatives.

Present anticancer drugs in the clinical side have not showed a conclusive effect of the chemotherapy for cancer patients. In order to find much more efficient antitumor agents fromnatural resources, various screening methods vivo and in vitro have been developed by manyresearchers. The intention of this paper is to provide an outline of some background on the tumorsystem in drug development of natural products, to review some screening programs for theevaluation of antitumor activity and to introduce the practical procedures of some antitumorscreening methods in vivo and in vitro. At the end of this paper, the current literatures related toantitumor natural products from higher plants at our laboratory are described.Key words'anticancer drugs, screening methods.

Tripterygium regelii SPRAGUE is distributed in Korea and Northern China. This extract has been used as a herb medicine, especially antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory and detoxifying agent in East asia. During our research to develop new antitumor agents from natural products, Dichlorornethane (CH$_2$Cl$_2$) extract of Tripterygium regelii SPRAGUE (DTR) showed the potent apoptotic effects in A-549 lung cancer, HeLa-3 cervical cancer, SKMEL-2 melanoma cells in a dose-dependent manner. in order to purify major compounds from DTR, column chromatography was carried out gradually. Silica gel and RP-18 column chromatography for active fractions led to the isolation of a compound. The compound determined by 1 H-NMR was turned out to De Celastrol known to have antitumor activity.

Some natural products are able to inhibit radiation effects and exert an antitumor effect with fewer adverse reactions; however, their antitumor effects are less than those of widely-used synthetic drugs. Propolis is a natural material that has been attracting attention, and we extracted this material with water and investigated the effect of continuous propolis administration on radioactivity-induced reduction of hemocytes, in addition to the antioxidant and antitumor effects of propolis. Following a 1-week adjustment period, water-soluble propolis was administered intraperitoneally to male ICR mice at a dose of 100 mg/kg every other day for 2 weeks. Following administration, 2 Gy whole-body irradiation was performed and the counts of leukocytes, lymphocytes, and granulocytes and monocytes in the peripheral blood were determined 1, 3, 7, 15 and 30 days after irradiation. These cells were considered since they are closely associated with immunity to radioactivity. In a second experiment, water-soluble propolis was similarly administered to the mice for 2 weeks after a 1-week adjustment period, and 2 Gy whole-body irradiation was performed. The antioxidant effects in hemocytes were then investigated using 2,2'-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH), a radical generator. In a third experiment, $1\;{\times}\;10^6$ Sarcoma-180 cells were inoculated into the right thigh of mice, which were divided into four groups: control, water-soluble propolis-treated, 6 Gy irradiated and water-soluble propolis-treated + 6 Gy irradiated groups, and changes in tumor size were measured for 20 days. Statistical analysis was conducted using ANOVA for multiple groups. In the three experiments, administration of water-soluble propolis inhibited the reduction of hemocytes caused by whole-body irradiation, showed antioxidant effects against radioactivity, and inhibited tumor growth, respectively. In conclusion, our data suggest that the antioxidant effect of watersoluble propolis inhibits hemocyte reduction caused by whole-body irradiation and enhances immunological inhibition of tumor growth.

매미눈꽃동충하초로부터 중성염용액, 열수 및 메탄올 추출물을 분리하였다. 세포독성 실험 결과, 열수 추출물은 $100{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 HT-29에 대해서 세포독성을 나타냈으나, NIH3T3, HepG2, Sarcoma 180에 대해서는 $0{\sim}2,000{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 세포독성을 나타내지 않았다. 중성염용액 추출물과 메탄을 추출물에서는 약간의 독성을 나타내었다. Sarcoma 180 복수암에 대한 항암 효과는 중성염용액 추출물과 메탄을 추출물을 투여한 실험군에서 32.3%의 생명 연장 효과를 나타내었다. 매미눈꽃동충하초의 중성염용액 추출물은 대조군에 비해 비장세포를 $2.4{\sim}2.6$배 증가시켰고, B 임파구의 alkaline phosphatase 활성을 $2.7{\sim}3.9$배 증가시킴으로써 비장세포의 증식능과 B 임파구의 면역 활성 효과를 증가시켰다. 대식세포주 RAW 264.7에 $50{\mu}g/ml$의 농도로 중성염용액 추출물을 처리하였을 경우, 양성 대조군이 $79{\mu}M$의 nitric oxide(NO)를 발생시킨 것에 비해 다소 높은 $89{\mu}M$의 NO가 발생되었다. 매미눈꽃동충하초의 중성염용액 추출물이 가장 높은 항암 효과와 B 임파구와 대식세포 활성을 나타내었으며, 따라서 매미눈꽃동충하초 중성염용액 추출물의 항암 효과는 숙주의 면역 기능을 활성화 시킨 것에 기인된 것으로 사료된다.

In the present study, we have evaluated cytotoxic effects, antitumor activities and metastasis inhibitory effects of Palsun brewing water in NIH 3T3 cells, human epitheloid carcinoma cells, and human skin melanoma cells. The light microscopic study showed morphological changes, AG-NOR (argyrophylic nucleolar organizer region) by silver chloride stain, and glycoprotein by PAS (periodic acid stain) reaction of the treated cells. Disruptions in cell organelles were determined by colorimetric methods; MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazoliumbromide) and SRB (sulforhodamine B protein) assays. These results suggest that Palsun Brewing Water retains no cytotoxic effects in NIH 3T3 cells and a growth-inhibitory activity in cancer cell lines.

$\beta$-l, 3-glucans are well known to enhance the immune reactions, resulting in antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral, anticoagulatory and wound healing activities. $\beta$-1, 3-glucans have various activities depending on molecular weight, degree of branching, conformation, water-solubility and intermolecular association. However, the $\beta$-1, 3-glucans linked backbone structure is essential and $\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl units are required for immunopotentiating activities. In this study, we tested the immunophamacological activities of insoluble $\beta$-1, 3-glucan from Agrobacterium sp. R259 KCTC 10197BP and confirmed the following activities: (1) IFN-${\gamma}$ production in PBMCs in the presence or in the absence of PHA, LPS, IL-18, and IL-12; (2) the induction of various cytokines in the spleen and thymus; (3) the adjuvant effect on the antibody production; (4) the cytotoxic and antitumor effects on cell lines and ICR mice. These results strongly suggest that $\beta$-1, 3-glucan from Agrobacterium sp. R259 KCTC 10197BP possesses various immunopharmacologica1 activities.

Immunostimulation effects of the cell wall components isolated from Lactobacillus plantarum were investigated by studying the macrophage s tumorcidal activity, splenocyte proliferation, anticomplementary activity and the inhibition of peritoneal tumor cell growth measured with ICR mice inoculated with sarcoma 180. The immunopotentiating cell wall components were a complex of peptidoglycan and exopolysaccharides. The tumorcidal activity of macrophage against Yacl and B16 tumor cells was enhanced when the cell wall components were added into the macrophage s culture medium. They also stimulated splenocytes to proliferate up to the same level as when the concanavalin A was added into the splenocyte's culture medium. The complementary activity was inhibited by 50% when the cell wall components were incubated with the sheep red blood cells treated with hemolysin and guinea pig complement. This result confirmed that the cell wall components had an antitumor effect, because the anticomplementary activity is usually accompanied by an antitumor activity at the same time. This fact was confirmed again by the inhibition of the growth of sarcoma 180 when the cell wall components were injected intraperitoneally into ICR mice inoculated with sarcoma 180. As a result, it is concluded that the cell wall components isolated from Lactobacillus plantarum had multifunctional immunostimulation effects in vitro and in vivo.
