Many types of compounds have been isolated from higher plants till now, that is, alkaloids, terpenes, lignans, steroids and so on. One of them, named as RA series Cyclic hexapeptides isolated from Rubia akane and R. cordijofia also have strong antineoplastic activity against various types of tumors. Till now 10 kinds ofRA series compounds were isolated and named as RA - I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and X. Moreover,monogl-ucoside of RA - V newly Isolated from same plant. Many kinds of derivatives including natural RAcompounds were tested for QSAR, and one of them, RA - VII was screened up as a most suitable substance asan antitumor agent. RA - VII(=RA-700) has strong cytotoxic activity against KB cells, P388 Iymphocyticleukemia and MM2 mammary carcinoma cells. RA - VII has been under investigation for Phase I clinical trials.

Derivatives of elema-1,3-diene were synthesized in several steps as polar analogs of $\beta$-elemene, antitumor agent under clinical phase. The lactone ring of compound 1 was opened by LiAlH4 to give diol 2 which was selectively protected by TBDPSCI. After acetylation of the secondary alcohol, the acetylated product was ozonolyzed and reduced to give elemene derivative 4 which was converted to diolefin 8 via selenides subsequent deprotection by tetrabutylammonium fluoride gave two compounds 9, 10.

SB31, an extract of Pulsatilla koreana, has been tried as an antitumor agent by traditional medicine pratitioner in Korea for the past 30 years, SB31 was evaluated for cytotoxic and antitumor activity against a variety of cancer cell lines. The SB31 exhibited 5-6 fold less cytotoxic activity against normal mononuclear cells (ED$\sub$50/. 1.1 mg/$m\ell$) than against cancer cell lines (ED$\sub$50/ 0.14-0.19mg/$m\ell$). (omitted)

This study was carried out particularly focusing on he antitumor effect in combination with 5-fluorocytosine(5-FC), antifungal agent, and extracellular cytosine deaminase from Chromobacterium violaceum YK 391 against U-937, K-562 and SNU-C4 cells. While the addition of 10$\mu\textrm{g}$/100 ${\mu}\ell$ of anticancer agent, 5-fluorouracil(5-FU), to U-937, K-562 and SNU-C4 caused the decrease of proliferation 90%, 75% and 93% respectively, the addition of 20 $\mu\textrm{g}$/100 ${\mu}\ell$ of the extracellular cytosine deaminase and 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/100 ${\mu}\ell$ of antifungal agent 5-FC caused the decrease of proliferation 80%, 70% and 90%, respectively. These results, therefore, reveal that this enzyme has the similar clinical effect for considering of adjuvant antitumor effect. From the above results, the treatment of 5-FC and the cytosine deaminase was very effective and showed the possibility to remove side effects which easily occur by the treatment of 5-FU only. An extracellular cytosine deaminase.

초석잠의 항암효과 및 면역조절자로서의 기능을 알아보기 위하여 마우스를 이동하여 실험한 결과, 마우스 비장세포의 증식반응은 항진시켰으나 YAC-1 세포주의 증식능은 억제시켰다. CD4+ T세포 및 CD8+ T세포의 비율이 정상 대조군 마우스의 그것에 비하여 증가하였으나 CD4+/CD8+ 비는 차이가 없었으며 비장세포에서 IL-2수용체의 발현이 항진되었다. 또한, 복강대식세포로부터의 nitric oxide와 TNF-$\alpha$ 생산을 항진시켰으며, 복강대식세포는 탐식능이 현저하게 항진되었고 B16F10 흑색종의 폐전이가 억제됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 초석잠의 항암제 및 면역반응 조절자로서의 개발 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

Several aniline mustard analogues were obtained by introducing N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)amino moiety to phenyl ring of A10 analogues in order to increase reactivity of A10 analogs and selectivity into DNA. The in vitro antitumor activity of synthesized compounds was evaluated using five different solid tumor cell lines by SRB method. Aniline mustard analogues exhibited more potent antitumor activity than A10 analogs. Especially, m-aniline mustard of benzoyl analogue displayed remarkable antitumor activity.

Heptaplatin, cis-Malonato[(4R,5R)-4,5-bis(aminomethyl)-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane]platinum(II), is a novel platinum-based antitumor agent with clinical potential against human stomach cancer and the 3rd generation of the cisplatin. This study was performed to study how cisplain, heptaplatin and sunpla which is a mixture of heptaplatin and mannitol (w: w=l : 2) affect cell viability of SK-MEL-28 human melanoma cell line. Heptaplatin ($IC_{50}$/; 95.35 $\mu$M) and sunpla ($IC_{50}$/; 10.95 11M) were less effect than cisplatin (IC $_{50}$; 10.92 $\mu$M) on the SK-MEL-28 cells. By cell cycle analysis using flow cytometry, it was identified that the cells were arrested at G2/M phase by cisplatin, heptaplatin and sunpla, and percentage of cell death group was increased according to increasing of time and concentration. These results suggest that cisplatin, heptaplatin and sunpla are a novel anticancer agent against human melanoma cell.l.

5-Aryl-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinolines were reported to have strong antitumor activity and one of the derivatives such as $5-[4^{l}$ -(piperidinomethyl)phenyl]-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-a] isoquinoline (1, SDZ 62-434) was found to be more effective than the clinical cytostatic agent edelfosine (2) in in vitro and in vivo assays. Currently SDZ 62-434 is in clinical trials in Europe. The structure-activity relationship studies of SDZ 62-434 showed that compounds with substitution on ring A were less active than the lead compound. Ring B in SDZ 62-434 was essential for the activity because compounds without B ring had no antitumor activity. Among the 3-arylisoquinolin-1-one derivatives, $3-[4^{I}$-(piperidinomethyl)phenyl] substituted analog had no antitumor activity but simple phenyl substituted compound, such as 4, showed the most potent antitumor activity in various human tumor cell lines.

A number of substituted isoquinolin-1-ones, possible bioisosteres of the 5-aryl substituted 2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,$1-a$]isoquinolines, were synthesized and tested for their antitumor activity against five different human tumor cell lines. O-(3-hydroxyporpyl) substituted compound (15) exhibited the best antitumor activity which is 3-5 times better than 5-[$4^1$-(piperidinomethyl)phenyl]-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,$1-a$]isoquinoline (1).
