동물의 일반활동은 중추신경계에 작용하는 약물에 관한 많은 정보를 제공한다. 따라서 약물의 중추신경계에 대한 독성평가는 물론이고 중추신경계 작용약물의 검색에도 널리 이용된다. 본 연구에서는 여러 가지 기전으로 중추신경계에 작용하는 약물들의 일반활동을 분석하여 중추신경계 작용 약물들의 작용기전에 따르는 일반활동의 특성을 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 실험장치는 UGO BASILE제 활동측정 장치를 이용하였으며, 실험동물은 서울대학교 의과대학 실험동물 사육장에서 사육한 ICR mouse를 사용하였다. 동물의 활동측정은 환경요인을 최소한으로 배제하기 위하여 매일 9:00-11:00 까지 2시간 동안의 행동을 10분 간격으로 측정 기록토록 하였다. 중추신경 흥분제 amphetamine, 진정수면제 phenobarbital, 항불안제 diazepam, 항정신병약 chlorpromazine, 항우울제 haloperidol는 모두 용량 의존적으로 동물의 자발운동에 영향을 미쳤다. 특기할 것은 항불안제 diazepam 은 용량의존적으로 운동 억제를 나타내었으나 진정수면제 phenobarbital의 경우는 용량 의존전 운동억제를 나타내기 이전에 초기약물 유발성 aggressive behavior를 나타내었다. 본 실험결과는 동물의 자발행동의 분석으로 중추신경계 작용약물의 작용기전 규명 및 이에 따르는 약물의 분류 방법으로 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

This study was undertaken to investigate to know whether spleen and lymph node cells from immunized mice can transfer systemically the delayed-type hypersensitivity(DTH) reaction to Salmonella typhimurium and to characterize the lymphoid cells using glass, nylon wool and rabbit anti-mouse thymocyte serum. Mice, C57BL/6 or ICR, were immunized subcutaneously at 11, 8 and 2 days before adoptive systemic transfer with $100{\mu}g$ of protein antigen from S. typhimurium in complete Freund adjuvant. It was found that DTH reaction to S. typhimurium could be transferred to normal recipient systemically by both spleen and lymph node cells($10^8\;cells$, respectively) from immunized mice. The cells responsible for this transfer of DTH reaction were glass nonadherent T lymphocytes.

A protein-polysaccharide fraction of a Korean wild mushroom Psathyrella velutina, PVP, was prepared and its antitumor immunomodulatory activity was investigated. When PVP was administered once daily for seven days from day 1 to day 7 into male ICR mice implanted with 1 $\times$ 10$^{5}$ cells of sarcom 180 tumor cells into the peritoneum on day 4, it inhibited the growth of sarcoma 180 cells by 92.8%. In XTT assay, PVP also exhorted in vitro anti-proliferation activity on U-937, a human monoblastoid cell line, as well as sarcoma 180 cells. PVP showed marked stimulatory activity on the immune system in that it induced the accumulation of PEC (the stimulation index, Sl=4.90 at 100 mg/kg), stimulated the BALB/c mouse splenic lymphocytes to form lymphoblasts (Sl=5.75 at 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), and upergulated the expression of CD25 molecules. All these results strongly support that PVP exhorts its antitumor activity through stimulation of the immune system as well as anti-proliferative activity on the tumor cells.

The present was performed to identify the effects of tributyltin oxide (TBTO) in the immature mice testes. 3-week-old male ICR mice were orally administrated on one time basis of TBTO dose of 0 (Vehicle control, VC), 30 (TBTO 30 mg/kg, T30), 60 (TBTO 60 mg/kg, T60) per each one.(omitted)

DWP401, a recombinant human epidermal growth factor, was subcutaneously administered to ICR mice at the dose levels of 0, 0.04, 0.2 and 1.0 mg/kg/day (15rats/sex/group) in order to evaluate the subchronic toxicity. General observations, examinations for food and water consumption, ophthalmoscopy and urinalysis were carried out during the study. For the complete gross and microscopic examinations, 10 mice/ sex/group were sacrificed at the ends of the dosing period, and the remaining animals were sacrificed with a 5 week recovery period. Examinations for hematology and blood biochemistry were also carried out at the time of recovery period. Based on the results, it was thought that the target tissue or organs were mesothelial cell, injection site, spleen, adrenal gland, ovary and transitional epithelial cell of urinary tract, and no observed toxic level of DWP401 was 0.04 mg/kg while definite toxic dose level might be 0.2 mg/kg.

Antitumor effect of LC43, a protein-bound ploysaccharide (M.W. 43 kDa) that was purified from intergeneric protoplast fusant of Lentinus edodes and Coriolus versicolor, was elucidated against mouse sarcoma 180 cell in vitro and in vivo. By injecting LC43 into ICR mice bearing solid or ascitic sarcoma 180, tumor regression and survival rates were investigated. To examine the effects of LC43 on immunopotentiation activity. immunoorgan weight, B cell differentiation, T cell activity and macrophage activation were determined. LC43 showed antitumor effects against both solid tumor and ascitic tumor of sarcoma 180. It did not change significantly the immunoorgan weight but potentiated immune responses such as B cell differentiation and the release of superoxide anion from macrophages. These results suggest that the protein-bound polysaccharide of LC43 exhibited antitumor activities through the activation of immune-related cells and acted as an immunmodulator.

The effects of red ginseng extracts (5.5 mg/mouse: i.p.) on the activities of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase) and lipid peroxidation were studied in the cytosol fraction of kidney. The experiments were carried out with whole-body irradiated (6.0 Gy, $^{60}Co$) and non-irradiated ICR mice. In the red ginseng extract-treated and irradiated mice, the activities of Cu, Zn- SOD, Mn-SOD, catalase and peroxidase were significantly enhanced by 27.8, 31.9, 17.9 and 15.0%, respectively, but the contents of malondialdehyde were considerably decreased (81.OfS) after 21 days, compared with those of non-treated mice. The enhanced activities of antioxidant enzymes inhibited the increase of malondialdehyde product resulted from the ionizing radiation. These results suggest that red ginseng extracts probably play an important role in radioprotective effect. Key words Red ginseng, SOD, catalase, peroxidase, lipid peroxidation.

The effect of biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (PMC) on the cellular and nonspecific immunosuppressions by ketoconazole (KCZ) was investigated in ICR mice. PMC at a dose of 6 mg/kg was administered orally to mice daily for 14 consecutive days. KCZ was suspended in RPMI 1640 medium and orally administered at 160 mg/kg/day 2 hrs after the administration of PMC. Immune responses of the delayed-type hypersensitively (DTH) reaction to sheep red blood cells (SRBC), phagocytic activity and natural killer (NK) cell activity were evaluated. DTH reaction to SRBC was enhanced to normal level by the combination of PMC and KCZ, as compared with treatment of KCZ alone. In the combination of PMC and KCZ, as compared with treatment of KCZ alone, there were also significant increases in activities of natural killer (NK) cells and phagocytes along with circulating leukocytes. These findings indicate that PMC shows a significant restoration from the immunotoixc status induced by KCZ.

The proteinpolysaccharides (PPS) from Polyporus umbellatus (P. umbellatus) screlotium is composed by 78.2% of saccharide, 16.8% of protein, and 4.0% of ash. PPS from P. umbellatus showed antitumor activities against 180 solid tumor in ICR mice at the concentration of 20-160 mg/kg/day. PPS from P. umbellatus inhibited cell viability to 47.4% and 45.0% in leukemia cell lines, L-1210 and K-562 cells at 50-400 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL concentration, respectively. But the hall mark of cell apoptosis, DNA fragmentation was not observed at those concentration. 2.5-10.0% of PPS from P. umbellatus inhibited mutagenecity evoked by 2-nitrofluorene and sodium azide in Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 and TA 100. From these results, it is suggested that the PPS of P. umbellatus has antitumor and antimutagenic effect, and its cytotoxic effect may not be ascribed to the apoptosis.
