In order to investigate the antitumor components of Korean wild higher fungi, the carpo-phores of Pholiota squarrosa collected in Kaung Nung area were extracted with water by refluxing for eight hours at 80-90.deg. C. The extracts were dialized for six days against distilled water and lyophilized to produce crude polysaccharide powders. They were found to have the antitumor activity against sarcoma 180 implanted in mice. Especially, the inhibition ratio of the extract of Pholiota squarrosa was 78.7% in the dose of 20mg/kg/day for the period of ten days. The tumor in two of the ten mice was completely regressed. The components of these aqueous extracts were found to be polysaccharide and protein. The total polysaccharide was 42% by Anthrone method and the protein was 55% by Lowry-Folin method in the antitumor component of Pholiota squarrosa.

To find antitumor components in the shake-cultured mycelia of Volvariella bombycina, the mycelia were extracted with hot water. After the extract was dialyzed and freeze-dried, a protein-polysaccharide fraction was obtained and examined for antitumor activity against the solid form of sarcoma 180 in ICR mice. It showed 60.3% inhibition ratio at a dose of 20mg/kg/day for 10 days. It was found to consist of a polysaccharide moiety and a protein moiety. After gel filtration on Sepharose 4B, Fraction B was obtained and showed the highest inhibition ratio of 71.1%. When the antitumor component was examined for immunopotentiating activity, it was found to increase the macrophage accumulation in the peritoneal cavity as well as the antibody production of the spleen cells of the mice.

The experiments tvere carried out to different temperature which affected growth, yield, proximate and antitumor activity in the Codonopsis lanceolata. Growth of aerial part and subterranean partwere best at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and lower 3$0^{\circ}C$. Components of fat, protein and fiber were best at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Wild C.fonceoforo had higher contents of fat, protein, fiber and ash as compared with cultur'ed C.lanceolataArginin was predominant amino acid in both wild and cultivated C.laceolata No significant differ-ence in the mineral contents was found between the wild root and the cultivated at 30'c inbiotronroom. No minerals difference in the contents was found between the cultivated temperature.The content of elements of inorganic metal differs according to the part. C. lanceolata were subjectedto preliminary antitumer screening test with Sarcoma 180 ascites and screening on V-79 cell. Thisexperiments were conducted in accordance with the total packed cell volume method and cytotoxicity method.

The carpophores of three Korean mushrooms, Coriolus versicolor, Pleurotus ostreatus, and Lentinus edodes were respectively extracted with hot water and the extract were dialyzed through Visking tube. They were found to contain an antinumor activity against sarcoma 180 implanted in mice. The components of these aqueous extracts were found to be polysaccharide and protein by color reactions including anthrone and Lowry-Folin tests. The hydrolysis of the polysaccharide with 3% HCI-MeOH and trimethylsilylation yielded four monosaccharides : glucose, mannose, galactose and xylose which were identified by G. L. C. After hydrolysis of protein with 6N HCL, fourteen to seventeen amino acids including aspartic and glutamic acids were detected by an amino acid analyzer.

An acid polysaccharide (SFP), was extracted from alga Sargassum fusiforme in hot water, was purified by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The PC, chemical analysis, electrophoresis and IR of SFP indicated that it was a kind of alginate with a mol. wt. of 13,000 and a molar ratio of mannuronic acid to guluronic acid 2.75. Pharmacological tests showed that SFP could prolong the survival duration of mice suffering from ascitic Sarcoma 180 with a rate of life prolongation of 63.44%.

해를 거듭할수록 증가추세에 있는 악성종양은 우리나라의 3대 사망원인 질환의 하나이다. 그러나 현재 암의 화학적 치료법은 40여종의 암치료제가 주종을 이루고 있으나 그 효과면에서 한계점에 도달하고 있어 식물추출물, 해양식물, 미생물 등으로부터 얻어지는 천연물 성분에서 강력하고 부작용이 적은 항암제를 발굴하기 위한 연구가 국내외에서 많이 수행되고 있다. 본 연구는 파푸아뉴기니아산 열대식물 13과 23종의 항암작용을 검색할 목적으로 실시하였는데, 실험동물은 ICR계의 암컷생쥐를 이용하였으며 Sarcoma 180 동물복수암세포에 대한 열대 식물 엑스 투여에 의한 수명 연장 효과를 측정함으로써 항암작용의 지표로 삼았다. 항암작용의 지표는 ILS(Increased Life Span)를 사용하였으며 ILS가 20％이상인 것을 항암성이 있는 것으로 간주하였다. 실험의 결과 Apocynaceae에 속하는 Plumiera rubra의 줄기껍질 및 잎 추출물 Leguminosae과의 Pterocarpus indicus의 잎 추출물과, 같은 과의 Derris trifoliata, Moraceae과의 Artocarpus altilis의 뿌리 및 줄기 껍질, 잎 추출물과 Sterculiaceae과의 Kleinhovia hospita의 잎 추출물, Verbenaceae과의 Vitex trifolia의 5과 5종 8시료가 의의있는 항암작용이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

키틴/키토산은 지질흡수의 억제, 혈중 콜레스테롤의 저하, 항고혈압활성, 면역활성, 항종양/항암활성 등 다양한 생체기능성을 나타내어 건강지향적인 기능성 식품으로서의 이용가치가 매우 큰것으로 평가되고 있다. 키토산은 성인남자의 혈중 콜레스테롤을 감소시키고 HDL cholesterol은 증가시켜 동맥경화지수를 낮추며 비만환자에게 투여시 체중, 중성지질, LDL cholesterol을 유의하게 낮춤으로서 고지혈증과 비만증의 개선에 유용한 것으로 평가된다. 키토산은 또한 성인의 고염식에 의한 혈압상승을 억제하며 3량체 내외의 키틴/키토산 올리고당은 혈압상승의 중요인자인 angiotensin converting enzyme과 직접 반응하여 활성을 현저히 저하시키고 SHR에서의 혈압을 유의하게 억제하는 특성을 보여 고혈압의 억제 및 치료에도 응용가치가 클 것으로 생각된다. 키틴/키토산 및 그 올리고당은 sarcoma 180, Meth-A solid tumor의 성장을 저해하고 L1210와 같은 negative charge를 갖는 malignant cell을 흡착시키는 등 항종양/항암활성을 보이는데 이는 tumoricidal immunocite의 활성화에 의한 것으로 추정되고 있다. 키틴/키토산의 생체활성은 분자크기, 탈아세틸화도, 유도체의 종류 및 적용방법 등에 따라 차이를 보이기 때문에 키틴/키토산을 기능성 식품으로서 폭넓게 이용하게 위해서는 용도에 맞는 적절한 규격 설정이 요구되고 있다.

To investigate antitumor components in Korean higher fungi, the carpophores of Pholiota squarrosa belonging to the family Strophariaceae were collected and extracted with hot water. A protein-bound polysaccharide fraction was obtained by adding ethanol to the extract and by dialyzing through Visking tube. The fraction was examined for antitumor activity against sarcoma 180 implanted in mice. It showed an inhibition ratio of 78.7% at the dose of 20mg/kg/day. The tumor in two of the ten mice was completely regressed. The chemical analysis of the antitumor fraction by Anthrone and Lowry-Folin methods showed that it consisted of 42% polysaccharide and 55% protein. The enzyme fraction of the carpophores showed no proteolytic activity on casein.

To investigate constituents of Russula pseudodelica Lange and Microporus affinis(Blume et Nees) Kuntze, quantitative analyses of free and total amino acids were carried out with G. L.C. and an amino acid autoanalyzer. Polysaccharides of the two mushrooms were extracted with hot water and the filtrate was concentrated. The addition of three volumes of ethanol to the concentrate formed precipitation of crude polysaccharides which were analyzed by G.L.C. and H.P.L.C. Sixteen amino acids and four monosaccharides were identified in the protein-bound poly­saccharides of the two mushrooms. The polysaccharides of M. affinis showed antineoplastic activity against sarcoma 180 implanted in mice.
