Recombinant interleukin-2(IL-2) has demonstrated as an antineoplastic agent in mice and human, but the relatively low response rates observed in clinical trials. Therefore, the present study was undertaken in order to evaluate therapeutic activities of IL-2 for the establishment of therapeutic applications. At the onset of the experiment, normal C3H/HeN mice were injected with 5$\times$10$\^$6/ RD-995 tumor cells, murine ultraviolet radiation-induced fibrosarcoma, intraperitoneally. Beginning on day 6, experimental groups were treated with a 5-day course of IL-2(subcutaneous injection of 30,000 IU every 12 hours for 5 days). The result of this experiment revealed that body weight gradually decreased from 20th day in control mice. Subcutaneous IL-2 therapy prevented partially decrease body weight, and prolonged survival of mice compared with control group.

Tamoxifen (TAM), a non-steroidal anti estrogen anticancer drug and chemopreventive agent for breast cancer, have caused cholestasis in liver. The potent hepatocarcinogenicity of this drug has been reported. Methotrexate (MTX) is dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor which interfaces with the synthesis for urine nucleotide and dTMP. And it may cause atrophy, necrosis and steatosis in liver. These two anticancer drug have well-known hepatotoxicity. So, in this study we compare the gene expression pattern of antitumor agent TAM and MTX, using the cDNA microarray. We have used 4.8 K cDNA microarray to identify hepatotoxicity-related genes in 5-week-old male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Confirm the pattern of gene expression, we have used Real time PCR for targeted gene. In the case of MTX, Protease related gene (Ctse, Ctsk) and Protein kinase (Pctk 1) have shown specific expression pattern. And in the case of TAM, apoptosis related gene (Pdcd 8) and signal transduction related gene (kdr) have significantly up regulated during treatment time. Gene related with growth factor, lipid synthesis, chemokins were significantly changed. From the result of this study, the information about influence of TAM and MTX to hepatoxicity will provide.

[ ${\beta}$ ]-1,3-Glucans enhance immune reactions such as antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral, anticoagulatory, and wound healing activities. ${\beta}$-1,3-Glucans have various functions depending on the molecular weight, degree of branching, conformation, water solubility, and intermolecular association. The molecular weight of the soluble glucan was about 15,000 as determined by a high-performance size exclusion chromatography. From the infrared (IR) and $^{13}C$ NMR analytical data, the purified soluble glucan was found to exclusively consist of ${\beta}$-D-glucopyranose with 1,3 linkage. We tested the immunestimulating activities of the soluble ${\beta}$-1,3-glucan extracted from Agrobacterium sp. R259 KCTC 1019 and confirmed the following activities. IFN-$_{\gamma}$ and each cytokines were induced in the spleens and thymus of mice treated with soluble ${\beta}$-1,3-glucan. Adjuvant effect was observed on antibody production. Nitric oxide was synthesized in monocytic cell lines treated with ${\beta}$-1,3-glucan. The cytotoxic and antitumor effects were observed on various cancer cell lines and ICR mice. These results strongly suggested that this soluble ${\beta}$-1,3-glucan could be a good candidate for an immune-modulating agent.

항균 및 항암성 물질을 탐색하기 위하여 도꼬마리 열수 추출액을 ether 및 ethylacetate를 이용하여 중성, 산성, 염기성조건에서 추출한 후, 각각의 추출물을 세균 16균주 및 곰팡이와 효모 2균주를 대상으로 항균활성을 조사하였다. Ether 중성 추출물(XE-N)은 항균효과가 가장 우수하였으며, 특히 그람 양성세균(7균주), 그람 음성세균(7균주)을 비롯하여 진균중 Cryptococcus neoformans에도 뚜렷한 항균효과를 나타내었다. XE-N 및 XEA-N을 대상으로 FDA method에 의한 항균효과를 검토한 결과, p. aeruginosa를 제외한 3균주에 대해 30 ng/mL에서도 저해효과를 나타내었다 XE-N으로부터 XE-N-S1, XE-N-S3을, Ether 산성 추출물(XE-A)로부터 XE-N-S3 을, ethylacetate 중성 추출물(XEA-N)로부터 XEA-N-S2를 항균, 항암성 물질로 정제하였으나, XE-N-S1을 제외한 다른 물질들은 빠른 시간 내에 모두 분해되었다 도꼬마리 추출물 및 정제된 생리활성물질에 대한 항암효과를 검토한 결과, HeLa 자궁암 세포에 대해서는 XE-N-S1이 가장 우수하였다. HepG2간암세포에 대한 항암효과는 XE-N-S, XE-N-S3가 우수하였고, HT29 대장암세포에 대한 항암효과는 XE-N, XE-N-S1이 우수하였다. Saos2 골육종 암세포, NCI H522 폐선 암세포, NCI H1703 폐 편평세포 암세포와 Clone M3 흑색종 암세포에 대한 항암효과는 XE-N-S1이 가장 우수하였다. LN CAP 전립선 암세포에 대한 항암효과는 XE-N-S3가 가장 우수한 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 HSF 인간 정상 피부 섬유아세포에 대한 각종 추출물 및 정제물의 세포독성을 기존의 항암제인 etoposide와 cisplatin과 비교·검토한 결과, XE-A, XEA-A 및 XEA-B가 가장 독성이 낮았으며, XE-B도 etoposide에 비해 독성이 낮았다. 한편 XE-N-S1, XE-N-S3은 etoposide보다 높은 독성을 나타내었으며, XE-A-S3은 etoposide보다는 독성이 높았으나, cisplatin보다는 낮았다.

일부 malignant tumor에 Pt-complex의 임상 응용 과정에서 신장독성등의 심한 부작용이 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 기존의 cisplatin보다 항암효과는 우수하면서, 부작용을 감소시킨 새로운 Pt complex의 개발에 역점을 두었다. 본 연구에서 합성한 Pt(II) complex는 carrier ligand로서 1,2-diaminocyclohexane(dach)을 사용하였고, leaving group으로는 diphosphine류인 1,3-bis (diphenylphosphine의 propane(DPPP) 을 도입하였으며, 물에 대한 용해도를 높이기 위해 dinitrate로 만들었다. 새로이 합성한 [Pt(II)(cia-dach)(DPPP)].$(NO_3)_2$ 은 원소 분석, IR 및 $^{13}C-NMR$ 분석 data에 의하여 위의 물질임이 확인되었다. PC-1은 MTT assay method에 의한 항암활성 연구를 통하여 SKOV-3, OVCAR-3 human ovarian adenocarcinoma cells에서 항암효과가 인정되었으며, 이 항암효과는 대조 약물로 사용된 cisplatin과 유사하였다. PC-1은 토끼의 신세뇨관 세포와 인체의 신피질 세포를 이용한 cytotoxity 및 thymidine 섭취율과 인체 신피질 조직 배양을 이용한 glucose consumption 실험을 통하여 모두 cisplatin보다 신장독성이 현저히 감소되었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 Pt(II) complex는 carrier ligand와 leaving group의 선택에 따라 항암활성의 증가와 신독성의 감소를 일으키는 요인으로 보여지며, 이 연구에서 만들어진 새로운 Pt(II) complex는 앞으로 다각적인 검토를 거쳐 새로운 anticancer chemotherapeutic agent로 개발될 가능성이 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Ascorbate (vitamin C) is a cofactor for a number of metabolic enzymes and is an indisputable essential vitamin C for humans. However, the potential of ascorbate as an anticancer agent has been a topic of controversy. A number of previous reports have addressed both positive aspects and limitations of ascorbate in cancer therapy. In this review, we briefly summarize the potential antitumor effects of ascorbate and its prospects for clinical use.

A copper complex of $\epsilon$-N-[(2-chloroethyl)carbamoyl]-L-lysine was prepared by the treatment of the L-lysine copper complex with 2-chloroethyl isocyanate in cold water. Within the L-lysine copper complex molecule, the $\alpha-amino$ and carboxyl groups are bounded to $Cu^{2+}$ but the $\epsilon-amino$ group is free and can react with carbamoylating agents. A potential antitumor agent, $\epsilon-N-[(2-chloroethyl)$ nitrosocarbamoyl]-L-lysine was synthesized by nitrosation of this copper complex with Na $NO_{2}$ in anhydrous formic acid, followed by the passage of $H_{2}$S gas.

We attempted to replace a benzopyran ring of 4-[(N-imidazol-2-ylmethyl)-4-chloroanilino]benzopyran, previously discovered as anti-angiogenic agent with antitumor activity, with pyranopyridines. The [3,2-c]-, [3,2-b]-, [2,3-c]-, and [2,3-b]-pyranopyridines with -(imidazol-2-ylmethyl)aniline moiety at the 4-position, were synthesized respectively, and evaluated for primary anti-angiogenic properties through primary cultured HUVEC tube formation assay. From this study, we found that the pyranopyridine ring, especially [3,2-b]- and [2,3-c]-isomer, can replace the benzopyran ring of the compound 1 and can be optimized through the introduction of substituents both on the pyranopyridine ring and the aniline moiety for the identification of a novel anti-angiogenic agent.
