  • Cytotoxic effects of Korean rice-wine (Yakju) made with different processes and ingredients (Korean rice-wines I, II), red wine, white wine, beer, and Japanese rice-wine (Sake) were examined against human cancer lines (DLD-1, HepG2, K562) and mouse cancer lines (EMT6, LLC1). Red wine showed cytotoxic effect on all cancer lines, while Korean rice-wines I, and II showed cytotoxcity on all cancer cells except DLD-1. White wine, beer, and Japanese rice-wine had no or little cytotoxic effect against all cancer cell lines. Concentrate of Korean rice-wine only showed cytotoxic effect against DLD-1. These results suggest Korean rice-wine has strong anti-cancer effects, which are induced by certain rice-wine components.

  • Ecklonia cava is a brown alga(Laminariaceae) that is abundant in the subtidal regions of Jeju island in Korea. Phlorotannins were identified to be responsible for the biological activities in Ecklonia species. In the present study, triphlorethol-A, a phlorotannin, was isolated from Ecklonia cava and its anticancer properties were investigated. Triphlorethol-A was investigated whether it may show cytotoxicity effects against U937, HeLa, NCI-H460 and MCF-7 cancer cells by MTT test. As a result, triphlorethol-A did not show cytotoxic effects against tested four cell lines.

  • In the present study, the author investigated to the cytotoxocity in cultured rat hepatocytes of Viscum album lectin. The cytotoxcity effect in Viscum album lectin on the activity of LDH was also investigated. Viscum album lectin significantly increased LDH leakage into medium of hepatocytes treated or untreated with $CCl_4$ (p<0.001). However, Viscum album lectin significantly increased LDH leakage from $CCl_4$-induced hepatocyte (p<0.001). There was a significant increase in LDH levels relative to the control group. Histological observation basically supported the result obtained from LDH assay. The livers of rats challenged with $CCl_4$ produced a marked increased cytoplasmic vacuoles and inflammatory cells in number, while the number of necrotic cells and swollen hepatocytes did not change significnatly. Rats administered DMSO alone did not alter the normal hepatic architecture. Histological observation of liver section in rat treated 72 hrs with either Viscum album lectin $CCl_4$-induced liver damage showed number of cytoplasmic vaculoe and necrotic cell. The number of inflammatory cell increased markedly. This results suggest to the conclusion that Viscum album lectin has a effect of hepatotoxicity activator.

  • The rate of the GSH conjugate formation, the inhibition of DNA topoisomerase-I and the cytotoxic activity against L1210 cells of the naphthoquinones showed the same order; 5,8-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (DMNQ)>6-(1-hydroxyethyl)-DMNQ>2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-DMNQ; the steric hindrance of the substituents, particularly 2-substutuent, in reacting with cellular nucleophiles must be the main cause for lowering the bioactivities. Acetylation of 2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-DMNQ producing 2-(acetyloxyethyl)-DMNQ potentiated the bioactivities; 2-(-hydroxyethyl)-DMNQ did not react with GSH and the enzyme, and showed $ED_{50}$ of 0.146 mg/ml for the cytotoxcity. Furthermore, the acetylation 2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-DMNQ(T/C, 119%) enhanced the T/C values for the mice bearing S-180 tumor {T/C of 2-(1-acetyloxyethyl)-DMNQ, 276%]. It was assumed that the difference in bioactivities ensued by acetylation was based on the mechanism of the so-called bioreductive alkylation.

  • In order to study the antitumoral effect of Selaginella tamariscina extracts, the cytotoxicities to human histiocytic leukemia cells (U937) and lymphocyte were measured by MTT method. The water extract of Selaginella tamariscina was partitioned into chloroform (CHCl3), ethylacetate (EtAc), n-butanol (BuOH) and water (H2O), successively. CHCl3, EtAc and BuOH fractions of Selaginella tamariscina showed the cytotoxicity to the U937 cells but they had effect on the cytotoxicity of lymphocyte under the same conditions. The tumor-specific cytotoxicity of Selaginella tamariscina fractions migh have been attributed to their genotoxic effect on actively proliferating cells. The expression of p53 tumor suppressor gene was then evaluated by northern blotting. The increased expression of p53 was induced by Selaginella tamariscina fraction V but no expression of p53 was induced by CHCl3, EtAc, and BuOH fractions of Selaginella tamariscina water extract (fraction V) should be required for the cytotoxcity on U937 and the other fractions of Selaginella tamariscina mediated the U937 disruption.

  • For probing the importance of planarity of imidazolidinone motif of 4-phenyl-1-(benzenesulfonyl)imidazolidinones 1 for their cytotoxicity, 4-phenyl-2-(benzoyl)[1,2,5]thiadiazolidine-1,1-dioxide (2a), 4-phenyl-2-(p-toluoyl)[1,2,5]thiadiazolidine-1,1-dioxide (2b), 4-phenyl-2-(phenylcarbamoyl)[1,2,5]thiadiazolidine-1,1-dioxide (3a), and 4-phenyl-2-(p-tolylcarbamoyl)[1,2,5]thiadiazolidine-1,1-dioxide (3b) were prepared along with their regioisomers (5a, 5b, 9a, 9b) and their cytotoxicity were measured against human lung carcinoma (A549), human colon carcinoma (COLO205), human ovarian cancer (SK-OV-3), human leukemic cancer (K562), and murine colon adenocarcinoma (Colon26) cell lines in vitro. All compounds prepared do not show any activity against all five cancer cell lines unlike 1. Compounds 1 possess planarity of imidazolidinone, especially in sulfonylurea moiety ($-SO_2$NHCONH-). However compounds 2 and 3 have nonplanar 5-membered ring, [1,2,5]thiadiazolidine-1,1-dioxides. Such structural differentiation might result in the loss of activity. Therefore the inactivity of 2 and 3 could also be an indication for the necessity of planarity of imidazolidinone ring of 1 for their cytotoxic activity.

  • The effects of Buthus martensi Karsch (BMK) on natural killer (NK) cell activity in mouse spleen were studied. Water extracted solution of BMK was orally administrated to Balb/c mice for 2 weeks. Among splenic cells, T cell fractions were separated by Nylon wool column. Furthermore, NK cell purification was performed 4.5% percoll gradients methods. The cytotoxcity of NK cell to K562 cell was determined by lactic acid dehydrogenase and $[^3H]-thymidine $ incorporation methods. And the cytotoxicity of effector cell was most effectively induced in a ration of 50:1 (effector/target cell). As a result, cytotoxicity of NK cells was significantly increased compared with control group both in vivo and in vitro systems. The similar cytotoxic effect was shown in $[^3H]-thymidine $ incorporation methods. This suggests that when BMK is administrated to mice with malignant tumors, an increase in NK cell activity may occur and affect K562 tumor cells.

  • It described the modification of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with amphiphilic methyl methacrylate-based polyethylene glycol (PMMA-b-PEG) to enhance the hydrophilicity of a PDMS surface and cytotoxicity of it. PMMA-b-PEG solutions in water/ethanol mixture was spun-cast on the PDMS surface and the surface was characterized by long-term measurement of water contact angle. The morphology of PDMS surfaces coated with PMMA-b-PEG was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscope. Cytotoxicity of the modified surfaces was investigated by MTT assay which would be necessary for the evaluation of tissue compatibility after implantation of the materials. Based on the MTT assay, PDMS coated with PMMA-b-PEG didn't show any significant cytotoxcity.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the whitening effect of mycelial culture broth of P. japonica in the mixture of cucumber and grape extracts. In the inhibition test of melanin biosynthesis of melanoma cell, B16BL6, the culture broth of P. japonica more then $50\;{\mu}l/ml$ (5%) concentration inhibited the melanin biosynthesis of the cell entirely without cytotoxicity. More then 10 days incubation of P. japonica in the mixture was required to have the inhibition activity. In vitro inhibition test of melanin biosynthesis of the culture broth of P. japonica was investigated in the concentration dependent manner of 10% to 50%. 30% concentration of the culture broth inhibited completely tyrosinase activity. In the cytotoxicity test, cucumber and grape extract itself has a strong cytotoxicity to the melanoma cell, B16Bl6. The value of $IC_{50}$ of the cucumber and grape extracts against the melanoma cells was 5% concentration. However, the culture broth of P. japonica incubated in the cucumber and grape extracts did not show the cytotoxcity up to 20% against melanoma cell, B16BL6. Therefore, we concluded that the culture broth of P. japonica in the mixture of cucumber and grape extracts can be used as a whitening cosmetic resource.
