The purpose of this research was to investigate the immunoregulatory effect, apoptosis of L 1210 leukemia cells of Comus officinalis Sieb.et Zucc. The proliferation of cultured splenocytes and thymocytes were enhanced by the addition of SSY. Splenic, thymic and mesenteric lymph node-T lymphocytes, especially TH cells was significantly increased in SSY-administered (p.o. for 7 days) mice. SSY treatment induced the apoptosis of L1210 mouse leukemia cells. In addition, SSY accelerated the phagocytic activity and nitric oxide production in peritoneal macrophages. These results suggest that SSY have an immuno-regulatory property and anti-cancer effect.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of Cheongsimondam-tang(CSODT) on the activity of immune cell and anti-carcinogenic effect of mouse leukemia cell. The addition of CSODT(1 ㎍/ml) enhanced the proliferation of cultured-splenocytes and thymocytes. And also administration of CSODT(500 ㎍/kg) accelerated subpopulation of splenic and thymic T lymphocytes especially CD4/sup +/-T/sub H/ cells in BALB/c mice. CSODT treatment decreased cell proliferation and increased apoptotic cell death of cultured-L1210 leukemia cells, and induced apoptosis in addition to decreased mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ΔΨm) of transplanted-L1210 cells in vivo. These results suggest that CSODT have a cellular immuno-regulatory effect and anti-cancer property action.

This study was conducted to investigate the immuno-regulatory effect and apoptosis of L1210 and HL60 leukemia cells of methanol-extracts of Cornus kousa Burg(CKB). The proliferation of mouse splenocytes and thymocytes enhanced by the addition of $10\;{\mu}g/ml$ of CKB. CKB were administered p.o. once a day for 7 days in adult male BALB/c mice. CKB increased the splenic and thymic T lymphocytes, especially the number of $T_H$ cells markedly increased by the treatment of CKB. CKB treatment induced the apoptotic cell death in L1210 mouse leukemia and HL60 human leukemia cells. In addition, CKB also accelerated the phagocytic activity in peritoneal macrophages and increased the production of plaque forming cells. These results suggest that CKB have an various immuno-regulatory property.

In order to find out a proper connecting bridge between 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) and a macromolecule such as a polypeptide, potentially hydrolytic N$^{1}$-derivartives of 5-FU have been systhesized and evaluated for their biological activity. When tested with in vitro leukemic L$_{1210}$ cells all the obtained derivartives exhibited slightly higher antitumor activity than the parent 5FU. Among them the N$^{1}$ -carbamoyl analogue 2 and N$^{1}$-acetamido analogue 6b showed 50% inhibition of the L$_{1210}$ cell growth at the concentrations of 5.01$\times$10$^{-8}$M and 1.03$\times$10$^{-7}$M, respectively. When tested against sarcoma 180 tumor cells inoculated into mice, the compounds 2 and 6b exhibited, respectively, 62% and 54% inhibition of the solid tumor growth at the 5-time doses of 100 mg/kg/day. Both compounds, N$^{1}$-carbamoyl analogue 2 and N$^{1}$-acetamido analogue 6b, realeased the parent 5-FU when incubated in the L$_{1210}$ cell cultural media for 5 hrs.

The effects of MeOH extracts of Schizandra chinensis fructus (SZX) on the immunoregulatory effect (lymphocyte proliferation, subpopulation, nitric oxide production, phagocytic activity) and apoptosis $(sub-G_1\;peak)$ of L1210 cells were examined. The proliferation of splenocytes and thymocytes were enhanced by the addition of $10\;{\mu}g/mL$ of SZX. SZX were administered p.o. once a day for 7 days in adult male BALB/c mice. SZX resulted in altering subpopulation of splenic B and/or T and thymic T lymphocytes, especially the number of $T_H$ cells were markedly increased by the treatment of SZX in vivo and in vitro. SZX treatment induced the apoptotic cell death in L1210 mouse leukemia cells. In addition, SZX accelerated the production of nitric oxide and phagocytic activity in peritoneal macrophages. These results suggest that SZX have an immunoregulatory property and anti-cancer action.

This study was performed to evaluate the immunoregulatory effects of Gungchihwadam-Jeon(궁치화담전, GCHDJ) and Cheongsinhwadam-Jeon(청신화담전, CSHDJ) was administered(p.o.) once a day for 14 days to mice. By the treatment of GCHDJ or CSHDJ was increased the cell viability of cultured mice splenocytes, thymocytes and mesenteric lymph node cells. Administration of GCHDJ or CSHDJ was increased the splenic T lymphocyte, especially the Tc cell subpopulation was increased by the GCHDJ, on the while the TH cell was increased by the CSHDJ. The administration of GCHDJ or CSHDJ was significantly increased the apoptosis of transplanted-L1210 leukemia cells to mice peritoneal cavity. These results suggest that GCHDJ and CSHDJ have an immunoregulatory action

This study was carried out to evaluate cytotoxicity of the extracts from Sophora flavescens Ait. against L1210 (lymphocytic leukemia) and $P388D_1$ (lymphoid neoplasms) cells in vitro. We have determined cytotoxicity by MTT {3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazo-liumbromide} assay. The order of cytotoxicity of Sophora flavescens Ait. extracts against L1210 and $P388D_1$ cells in vitro is as follows: AM> EASF > CFSF > MTSF > WSF > HXSF and AM> EASF> CFSF> MTSF> HXSF> WSF. These results suggest that the ethyl acetate soluble extract of Sophora flavescens Ait may be a valuable choice for the development of antitumor agents.

A new series of highly water soluble platinum(II) complexes {Pt(II)[1,3-bis(phenylthio) propane](trans- -1,2-diaminocyclohexane) (PC-1) and Pt(II)[1,3-bis-(phenythio)propane] cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane(PC-2)} were synthesized, and characterized by their elemental analysis and by various spectroscopic techniques[infrared(IR), 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)]. In vitro antitumor activity of new Pt(II) complexes was tested against P-388 and L-1210 mouse lymphocytic leukemia cell lines, PC-14 / P, PC-14/ADM and PC-14 / CDDP human pulmonary adenocarcinima, DU-145 human prostate carcinoma, HT-1376 human bladder carcinoma, ZR-75-1 human breast carcinoma, MKN-45/P and MKN-45/CDDP human gastric adenocarcinoma cell lines using colorimetric MTT[3-(4,5-dimethyl thiazol-2-yl)-2.5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide] assay for cell survival and proliferation. PC-1 showed active against L-1210, P-388 leukemia, human lung, stomach, prostate, bladder and breast cancer cell lines, and the antitumor activity of these compounds were comparable or superior to those of PC-2 and displatin. The nephrotoxicities of PC-1 and PC-2 were found quite less than that of cisplatin using MTT and [3H] thymidine uptake in rabbit proximal tubule cells and human kidney cortical cells. Based on these results, this novel platinum (II) complex compound (PC-1) represents a valuable lead in the development of a new anticancer chemotherapeutic agent capable of improving antitumor activity and low nephrotoxicity.

Transition metals tested, $Cu^{2+}$, and $Ni^{2+}$, were found effective in the induction of the cytotoxicity of the quinolones tested, nalidixic acid, oxolinic acid, and pipemidic acid, against L1210 leukemia cells in vitro, whereas the alkaline earth metal, $Mg^{2+}$, was not. The differential effect of the metals on the quinolone cytotoxicity can be explained by their different mode of interaction with the quinolones. Our present difference spectroscopic titration data suggest that the transition metals can form DNA-intercalating agents, with the quinolones, which can cause the cytotoxicity.

Effects of exogenous glycerophospholipids on oleate-dependent phospholipase D (PLD) activity were studied in lymphocytic mouse leukemia L1210 cells and in solubilized microsomal phospholipase D of rat brain. Among the phospholipids tested phosphatidic acid had the most stimulatory effects on both PLD activities up to about 3 folds. Lysophosphatidic acid also showed promoting effect on microsomal PLD activity but much less on L1210 cells compared to that of phosphatidic acid. While phosphatidylethanolamine increased PLD activity slightly, phosphatidylinositides were nearly ineffective in the tested sources. The stimulatory effect of phosphatidic acid observed can be utilized to improve the in vitro assay system for oleate-dependent PLD in mammalian sources.
