In this approach, the antimicrobial activities of the compounds were compared with the ${\beta}$-lactam antibiotics against ${\beta}$-lactamase producing strains in vitro. Heteroc yclyl exomethylenepenam derivatives were several numbers of 6-exomethylenepenam sodiums (CH1240, CH1245, CH1250, CH2140, CH2145, CH2150). The inhibitory concentraion assay of six compounds were compared with clavulanic acid, sulbactam, tazobactam. Clavulanic acid, sulbactam and tazobactam are used as inhibitors of a variety of plasmid-mediated beta-lactamases. In vitro ${\beta}$-lactamase inhibitory assay, CH1240 and CH2140 were more active than clavulanic acid, sulbactam and tazobactam against ${\beta}$-lactamases overally. And in vitro comparative antimicrobial susceptibility test of six inhibitors were performed with mixed forms of ampicillin, cefotaxime, amoxicillin, ticarcillin, piperacillin, cefoperazone against ${\beta}$-lactamase producing 31 species strains. Consequently CH2140 and CH1240 among the six compounds enhanced the activity of the ${\beta}$-lactams for 31 ${\beta}$-lactamase producing strains.

In this study, we investigated antimicrobial and cytotoxicity effects to each fraction extracted from Solanum lyratum (SL), which were extracted methanol (SLM) and then the extract was fractionated into five different types : hexane (SLMH), ethyl ether (SLMEE), ethylacetate (SLMEA), butanol (SLMB) and aqueous (SLMA). The antimicrobial activity was analyzed by the paper disc method. Among the various solvent fractions, SLMEA showed the strongest antimicrobial activies. The cytotoxicity of SL fractions on HeLa, MCF-7, HT-29 and HepG2 cells was evaluated by MTT assay. Among various partition layers, SLMEE showed the strongest cytotoxic effects to all cancer cell lines. We also observed that quinone reductase (QR) was induced by all fraction layers of SL to HepG2 cells. Since the QR-induced effects of SLMEE on HepG2 cells at $160{\mu}g/ml$ concentration showed 2.1 when compared with a control value of 1.0, inducer of QR for cancer protection may be contained in this fraction.
