In order to research the effects of Shipjundaebotang(SDT) and Orostachys Herba(OH) on anti-tumor and immune response, the author performed this experimental study. Experimental groups are divided into five groups, which are solid extract of Orostachys Herba by water(OHW), solid extract of Orostachys Herba by ethanol(OHE), solid extract of Shipjundaebotang (SDT), solid extract of Shipjundaebotang added by solid extract of Orostachys Herba by water(SDT+OHW) and solid extract of Shipjundaebotang added by solid extract of Orostachys Herba by ethanol (SDT+OHE). In these experimental studies, extension of survival days for anti-tumor effect was observed, and de layed type hypersensitivity and rosette forming cell for cell-mediated immune response, hemagglutinin titers and hemolysin titers for humeral immune response, spleenic natural killer cell activity and carbon clearance (K-index) in vitro were measured with mice. The result were summerized as follows: I. SDT, SDT+OHW and SDT+OHE treated groups were significantly recognized to extend the survival days of tumor bearing mice as compared with the control group. 2. Delayed type hypersensitivity was significantly increased in SDT, SDT+OHW and SDT+OHE treated groups as compared with control group. 3. Hemagglutinin titer was increasred in all sample groups as compared with control group, but not significantly. 4. Hemolysin titers was significantly increased in SDT, SDT+OHW and SDT+OHE treated groups as compared with control group, and SDT+OHE treated group showed the increasing effect with significance as compared with the other sample groups. 5. For the effect of roselle forming cell quantitation, SDT, SDT+OHW and SDT+OHE treated groups showed the increasing effect with significance as compared with control group. 6. Natural killer cell activity was significantly increased in SDT+OHW as compared with comrol group, but the other groups, except OHW and SDT+OHW treated groups, revealed the increasing effect as compared with control group, but the significance was not admitted. 7. For the effect of K-index(Carbon clearance), SDT, SDT+OHW and SDT+OHE treated groups showed the increas ing effect with significance as compared with control group. 8. The study didn't show that Orostachys herba had any significance with survival days, anti-tumor effect and immune re sponse.

To study the effects of anti-cancer, anti-metastasis and immune response improvement effects of herbal-accupunture with Orostachys japhonicus A.Berger, infusion solution put into Kansu(BL18) of mouse induced by Colon26-L5 human colon cancer cells, which are corresponding to humanbody. We observed the change of body weight, surviving number, median surviving time, increase of life span, changes in amount of leukocyte, erythrocyte, platelet, total protein, creatinine, glucose and LDH, weight of spleen and kidney, histological analysis on tissue metastasis of liver, splenic cell proliferation, the expression of cytokine gene, the number of CD4+, CD8+, CD9+ and NK cell, and concluded like this. The results were obtained as follows ; 1. In acute and sub-acute cytotoxicity experiment, significantly signs were not appeared in all groups. 2. Antimetastatic experiment in vitro and in vivo showed that Orostachys Japhonicus A.Berger Herbal-acupuncture at Kansu(BL18) has antimetastatic effects. 3. The spleen cells proliferation of the experimental groups treated with Orostachys Japhonicus A.Berger infusion solution extract has increased significantly compared with that of the control group. 4. As compared with control, the population of total T cell, helper T cell, cytotoxic T cell and macrophage were increased. 5. The production of Th 1 type cytokines from splenocyte and cytokines which is associated with anti-tumor activity form macrophage were increased significantly. Above the results revealed that herbal-accupunture with Orostachys Japhonicus A.Berger infusion solution has effects of anti-cancer, anti-metastasis and immune response improvement.

본 연구에서는 약용식물인 와송의 항균활성을 조사하기 위하여 와송의 잎, 줄기 및 뿌리를 물과 에탄올의 2가지 용매로 추출한 후, paper disc법과 MIC test를 이용하여 식품의 부패 및 식중독 관련 미생물 10종에 대한 항균활성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 와송 잎, 줄기 및 뿌리의 물 추출물과 와송 줄기와 뿌리 에탄올 추출물에서는 항균효과가 나타나지 않았지만, 와송 잎 에탄올 추출물은 그람 양성균 6종에 대해서는 모두 항균활성을 나타내었으며, 그람 음성균의 경우에는 S. Typhimurium에서만 항균활성을 나타내었고, S. cerevisiae와 P. expansum에 대해 항진균 효과를 보였다. 특히, C. perfringens에 대해서 가장 높은 항균활성을 보여 0.05% 농도에서 균의 생육을 억제하였으며, S. cerevisiae에 대해서도 0.05% 농도에서 균의 생육을 억제하였다. 와송 잎 에탄올 추출물은 $121^{\circ}C$에서 15분간 가압가열처리에도 항균활성이 감소되지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, B. subtilis를 제외한 균주에 대하여 pH $2{\sim}10$까지 처리 후에도 항균활성이 감소 하지 않는 것으로 보아 와송 잎 에탄올 추출물은 열과 pH에 비교적 안정하다고 사료된다. 따라서 와송 잎 유래의 항균성 물질은 식품의 부패 및 식중독 미생물에 대한 항균활성을 가지며 열과 pH에 대해서도 안정하므로 식품의 천연보존제로서 사용이 가능하리라 사료된다.

The herbs of Orostachys japonicus (Crassulaceae) have been used to treat gastric cancer, gastric ulcer or hemorrhage. Flavonoid glycosides, mainly kaempferol (Kp)- and quercetin (Qc) glycosides, have been isolated from O. japonicus; however, no quantitative information on those flavonol glycosides and no peroxynitritescavenging activity of the Orostachys extracts have been reported. In this study, Kp- and Qc glycosides were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in eight Orostachys and a Meterostachys species including O. japonicas, O. margaritifolius, O. chongsunensis, O. minuta, O. ramosus, O. malacophylla, O. latiellipticus, O. iwarenge, O. iwarenge for. magnus, and Meterostachys sikokiana distributed or cultivated in Korea. Distinctively, O. margaritifolius contained two flavonol 3,7-di-O-glycosides of Kp 3,7-di-O-glucoside and Kp 3-rhamnosyl-7-glucoside, but O. japonicus had two flavonol 3-O-rutinosides, Kp 3-rutinoside and Qc 3-rutinoside. The three species of O. margaritifolius (24.36 mg/g MeOH extract), O. japonicus (21.28 mg/g), and O. minuta (19.50 mg/g) showed relatively higher flavonoid contents. The flavonol glycosides were analyzed using eight standard compounds (Kp, Qc, Qc 3-O-rhamnoside, Qc 3-O-glucoside, Kp 3- O-rutinoside, Qc 3-O-rutinoside, Kp 3-O-rhamnosyl-7-O-glucoside, Kp 3,7-di-O-glucoside). The present HPLC method was validated to verify the linearity, precision, and accuracy. In addition, the peroxynitrite-scavenging activity was also discussed.

Water storage cells (WSCs) in the leaf succulent Orostachys malacophyllus have been studied to understand their adaptive nature to its coastal habitat employing the electron microscopy. Attention has been paid to the features of vacuoles and plasmodesmata in this study, since leaf tissues in O. malacaphyllus are under continous physiological drought due to its occurrence in the shore-line environment. The WSCs occupied almost all of the leaf volume and appeared empty at low magnifications. Among the WSCs, small rudimentary vascular bundles were scattered throughout the internal volume. However, in high magnification the WSCs were vacuolate in most cases and vacuolization into a well-developed huge central vacuole was very common phenomenon. Such vacuolization has been detected within the vacuoles as well as within the cytoplasms. Well-developed plasmodesmata were often found in cells appeared to be mucilagenous. Moreover, plasmodesmata being involved in the secretion of materials or structures were even encountered. Thus, vacuolization from various sizes of vacuoles in the WSCs to have a huge central vacuole seems playing an important role in adapting the plant itself to its coastal habitat.

Optimal culture conditions for efficient in vitro propagation and polysaccharide production of Orostachys japonicus were established. The highest growth yield was achieved in 1/2 MS medium, while the lowest growth yield was obtained in 4 MS medium. The patterns of polysaccharide formation were a little similar in all cases, but on MB5 medium, the po]ysaccharide contents of plant were higher than others. Among the modified nitrate levels, effective growth level were obtained in 1/4 N and 1/2 N. High contents of polysaccharide were obtained in 4 N. Different concentration of potassium and calcium did not improve the growth and polysaccharide production. The micropropagated shoots were successfully acclimatized artificial soils.

The content of four phonolic acids 1-4, and two flavonol aglycones 14 and 15 from Orostachysjaponicus A. Berger grown under night-break and day-length controlled experiments was estimated and compared with those in wild plants. The amount of the phenolic acids 1-4 and the flavonol aglycones 14 and 15 increased with increasing light irradiation under both the night-break and day-length control conditions. It was disclosed that the cultivation conditions such as the night-break and the day-length control were not adversely affect the production of phenolic acids and flavonols in Orostachys japonicus A. Berger extracts.
