The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of Coix Lachryma-Jobi L. var. Ma-yuen Stapf. on the proliferation of L1210 cells and immune cells. The hexane fraction of Coix Lachryma-Jobi decreased the proliferation of L1210 cells and induced DNA fragmentation of L1210 cells. Also, the fraction decreased the cell viability of murine thymocytes and splenocytes, but increased the phagocytic activity of murine peritoneal macrophages. In addition, fatty acids and fatty acid methyl esters decreased the proliferation of L1210 cells and induced DNA fragmentation of L1210 cells. The main components of the fraction are fatty acid and their derivatives. These results indicate that Coix Lachryma-Jobi has a cytotoxicity on tumor cells and immune cells.

The water fraction exhibiting anticancer activity was prepared from 70% methanol extract of Artemisis argyi by stepwise solvent partioning. This water fraction(5 $\mu$g/ml concentration) showed a considerable cytotoxicity against leukemic L1210 cells with a maximal value of 92% for 3 days culture. Contrastingly to such substantial anticancer activities the identical fraction showed far low toxicity against normal lymphocytes than chloroform fraction of Artemisia argyi mitomycine and 5-fluorouracil at every concentration ranging 0.01$\mu$g/ml~10.00$\mu$g/ml. The cytotoxicity displayed against L1210 cells by the water fraction of Artemisia was found to be proportinal to the decrease of viability of L1210 cells. On the other hand, $O_2$ion generation in L1210 cells appeared to be elevated in accordance to cytotoxicity by the water fraction with concurrent increases of superoxide dismuatse (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) which are responsible for the conversion of $O_2$ ion and $H_2O$$_2$ respectively These findings taken together indicate that the death of L1210 cells by the water fraction of Auemisia atgyi, may be induced at least in part by the detrimental action of reactive oxygen species (ROS) including $O_2$- in spite of substantial extorts of SOD and GPx to overcome the attack of ROS.

This study was performed to investigate the mechanism of in vitro cytotosic actions of polyacetylenes which are panaxydol, panaxynol and panaxytriol isolated from Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer. DNA synthesis of L1210 cells was significantly inhibited with dose dependent pattern when L1210 cells were treated for 1 hour with over 5 .mu.g/ml of polyacetylenes. Panaxydol which had the most potent cytotoxicity among three polyacetylenes showed also the strongest inhibitory effect on DNA synthesis. Intracellular cyclic AMP levels of L1210 cells treated with 2.5 $\mu$g/ml of panaxydol or panaxytriol were significantly elevated on the incubation duration. The elevation of cyclic AMP levels by panaxytriol was higher than that by panaxydol, but no significant increase in cyclic AMP by panaxynol was observed. All three polyacetylenes had no effect on glycolysis of L1210 cells. Electron microscopic observations revealed that polyacetylenes caused damage to plasma membranes of L1210 cells in proportion to their cytotoxicities at each $ED_{50}$ value (panaxydol > panaxynol> panaxytriol). These results suggest that cytotoxicities of polyacetylenes against L1210 cells might be mediated by elevated cyclic AMP level, even though the relationship among their cytotoxicities, inhibitory effect on DNA synthesis and ability to elevation of cyclic AMP level are not fully agreed, and might be also related to membrane damage.

SD-994 was prepared from methanol extract of Artemisia argyi by stepwise purification of solvent partioning and silica gel chromatography. In the course of this purification, fractions obtained at each step were investigated for their cytotoxicities against L1210 cells. Fractions A~G prepared from chloroform fraction showed considerable cytotoxicities raging 40~90% against L1210 cells. Subfractions I~IX obtained from fraction A exhibited various cytotoxicities and subfraction I (SD-994) was found to be the most effective compound. $IC_{50}$ values of SD-994 were measured to be $0.5{\;}{\mu\textrm{g}}/ml and less than $0.05{\;}{\mu\textrm{g}}/ml against L1210 cells and normal lymphocytes, respectively: When SD-994 was added to L1210 cell as cytotoxic agent, significantly increased amount of superoxide ($O_2^-$) and dramatically augmented activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), specially MnSOD and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were observed according to the concentration and incubation time. Whereas, in case of normal lymphocytes under the same condition, cytotoxicities were not apparent and the generation of superoxide ($O_2^-$) or the activity changes of SOD and GPx were insignificant. These results together indicate that the cytotoxic action of SD-994 against L1210 cell may be achieved via necrosis and/or apoptosis induced by reaction oxygen species which could not probably be completely abolished even by drastically increased antioxidant enzymes, SOD and GPx activities.

These experiments were investigated effects of the cell death of glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) on transplanted-L1210 cells in BALB/c mice. The GA suppressed the proliferation of L121 0 cells in vivo and in vitro system. The administration of GA induced apoptosis of transplanted-L1210 cells via the reduction of mitochondrial transmembrane potential in mice. The GA enhanced the production of nitric oxidation in peritoneal macrophages obtained from L1210 cells-transplanted mice. The apoptosis of L1210 cells were induced by co-culture of the macrophages obtained from GA administered mice and L1210 cells in vitro, and was partly inhibited by the treatment of L-NMMA. These results suggest that GA induces the cytotoxicity and the apoptosis of transplanted-L1210 cells via the production of nitric oxide in peritoneal macrophages.

For the search of anticancer compounds from natural products, 43 plants were extracted with benzene and methanol, separately, and the extracts were screened for the cytotoxicity against L1210 and HL60 cancer cell lines. From the results, 22 samples in benzene extracts showed cytotoxicity against L1210 cells and 23 samples against HL60 cells, respectively. However, any methanol extracts did not exhibit cytotoxicity against two cancer cell lines, it suggested that cytotoxic compounds seemed to have low polarity. $ED_{50}$ values less than $5\;{\mu}g/ml$ were observed in 14 and 9 samples in benzene extracts against L1210 and HL60 cancer cells, respectively.

The present investigation was undertaken to find out the anticancer activity of monoterpene compounds. Monoterpenes showed generally the inhibitory effect on the proliferation o f L1210 cancer cells (cytotoxicity). Geraniol was found to exibit the most potent cytotoxic effect on L1210 cells with an IC50 values of $0.67{\mu}g/ml$. On the other hand, geraniol proved to be capable of stimulating the macrophage proliferation (135% of control). When the life prolonging activity of geraniol by daily oral administration of 0.1~10${\mu}g/10{\mu}l/20$ g body weight to Sarcoma 180 bearing ICR mouse was examined, there was also a significant elevation of survival (best result of 134% of control). The contradictory effects of geraniol on the proliferation of L1210 cells and macrophages proved to be accompanied by the coincident alterations of RNS (reactive nitrogen species) related enzymes activities such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (Inos) in macrophages and ROS (reactive oxygen species) related enzymes activities such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) in L1210 cells, respectively.
