Isoguanosine and berberine 1:1 mixture[l:[1(mole:mole)] has been prepared and evaluated by measuring antitumor effects against various tumor cell lines in culture and in mice. We reported that the synergistic effect of isoguanosine and berberine mixture has been revealed compared with each of isoguanosine and berberine increased by $3{\sim}8$ times than that of each components in various tumor cell lines in vitro. The most effective dose of isoguanosine and berberine mixture was 60 mg/kg/day in mice bearing S-180 solid tumor, the %(1-T/C) values were 70%. Against the P-388 leukemia, isoguanosine-berberine mixture was the most effective at the dose of 60 mg/kg/day, the %T/C values were 163%.

Active fraction, $P_2$, was Isolated from natural anti-cancer drug, $CP_2$, by HPLC. We confirmed that $P_2$ includes most of the Isoguanosine and minor components, Berberine and other protoberberine alkaloids, by $^1H-NMR$ and $^{13}C-NMR$ and measured tile cytotoxicity of $P_2$ against various tumor cell-lines.' $P_2$ was very effective to all tumor cell-lines, especially to human colon cancer SNU-C2A$(ED_{50};\;24{\mu}g)$ and liver cancer HEP-3B$(ED_{50};\;27{\mu}g)$.
