  • 본 연구에서는 퉁퉁마디 지상부를 70% 메탄올로 추출한 후, 이에 대해 용매분획하여 얻은 Fr.H, Fr.E, Fr.EA, Fr.B, 및 Fr.W, 5분획의 산화방지 효과, ROS 생성효과, 세포독성 효과 및 관련 기작에 대한 기능성을 검토하였다. 이 중 Fr.EA가 가장 높은 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 성분 함량을 나타내었으며 Fr.B가 이어서 높은 함량을 보였다. Fr.EA는 DPPH와 ABTS 라디칼 및 아질산이온의 소거에 있어서도 다른 분획들보다 유의적으로 높은 활성을 나타내었으며, 특히 아질산이온의 소거에 가장 뛰어난 활성을 보였다. 리놀레산 지질과산화 시스템에서는 Fr.EA와 Fr.B가 강한 산화억제 활성을 나타내었으며, 이들의 라디칼 소거능은 물론 $Fe^{2+}$에 대한 킬레이트 효과가 지방질산화에 대한 억제기작으로 작용하는 것으로 생각된다. Fr.EA 및 Fr.E가 HCT-116 대장암 세포 및 INT-407 정상장관계 세포에 대해 높은 세포독성을 유발하였으며, 특히 Fr.EA는 HCT-116 대장암 세포에 대해 정상 장관계세포보다 유의적으로 강한 세포독성을 나타내었다. 퉁퉁마디 지상부 분획들은 세포 내에서는 ROS를 감소시키는 산화방지효과를 나타낸 반면 배양액 중에서는 $H_2O_2$를 생성하는 산화촉진 효과도 나타내었으며, Fr.EA와 항산화제인 ascorbic acid 및 N-acetylcysteine 을 같이 세포에 처리하였을 때 세포 독성이 유의적으로 증가하는 현상을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서는 퉁퉁마디 지상부 분획의 산화방지 및 산화촉진 효과와 세포독성 효과를 보고하였으며, 향후 계속적인 연구를 통해 기능성 소재로서의 퉁퉁마디의 이용성 확대가 지속될 것으로 기대한다.

  • Reactive oxygen species are tumorigenic by their ability to increase cell proliferation, survival, and cellular migration. The purpose of the present study was to compare the antioxidant activity and cytotoxic effects of 3 berry extracts (strawberry, Korean raspberry, and mulberry) in A2780 human ovarian carcinoma cells. Except for raspberry, the ethyl acetate or methylene chloride fractions of berries containing phenolic compounds exerted dose dependent free radical scavenging activities. In the raspberry fractions, the hexane fraction also exhibited potent antioxidant activity. The cytotoxic effects of berries extracts in A2780 human ovarian carcinoma cells were measured using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Surprisingly, co-treatment with n-butanol (BuOH) fractions of berries showed stronger cytotoxic effects compared to the other fractions. These findings suggest that potent anticancer molecules are found in the BuOH fractions of berries that have stronger cytotoxic activity than antioxidants.

  • Marine sponges are known to produce a number of cytotoxic secondary metabolites. In the course of searching for cytotoxic metabolites from marine organisms, we have evaluated cytotoxic activities of six marine secondary metabolites isolated from various sponges. The cytotoxic compounds 1-6 were isolated by the application of various chromatographic methods, including column chromatography and HPLC. The molecular structures were mostly determined using mass spectrometry (MS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy. Furanosestererpenes (compounds 1-3) from Psammocinia sp., cyclitol derivatives (compounds 4 and 5) from Sarcotragus sp., and bromotyrosine-type compound (6) from an association of two sponges Jaspis wondoensis and Poecillastra wondoensis were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against three cancer cell lines; Hep G2, HeLa, and MCF-7. All tested compounds exhibited cyctoxicity at concentrations ranging from $5\;\mug/mL\;to\;25\;\mug/mL.$ Particularly, among the tested compounds, compound 6 showed the highest potency displaying at least $80\%$ of cytotoxicity at $5\;\mug/mL$ level against all three cancer cell lines.

  • Background: In recent years, there has been considerable research on recycling of agro-industrial waste for production of bioactive compounds. The food processing industry produces large amounts of citrus peels that may be an inexpensive source of useful agents. Objective: The present work aimed to explore the phytochemical content, antioxidant, anticancer, antiproliferation, and antigenotxic activities of lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin peels. Materials and Methods: Peels were extracted using 98% ethanol and the three crude extracts were assessed for their total polyphenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant activity using DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl). Their cytotoxic and mitogenic proliferation activities were also studied in human leukemia HL-60 cells and mouse splenocytes by CCK-8 assay. In addition, genotoxic/antigenotoxic activity was explored in mouse splenocytes using chromosomal aberrations (CAs) assay. Results: Lemon peels had the highest of TPC followed by grapefruit and mandarin. In contrast, mandarin peels contained the highest of TFC followed by lemon and grapefruit peels. Among the extracts, lemon peel possessed the strongest antioxidant activity as indicated by the highest DPPH radical scavenging, the lowest effective concentration 50% ($EC_{50}=42.97{\mu}g\;extract/mL$), and the highest Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC=0.157). Mandarin peel exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity ($IC_{50}=77.8{\mu}g/mL$) against HL-60 cells, whereas grapefruit and lemon peels were ineffective anti-leukemia. Further, citrus peels possessed immunostimulation activity via augmentation of proliferation of mouse splenocytes (T-lymphocytes). Citrus extracts exerted non-cytotoxic, and antigenotoxic activities through remarkable reduction of CAs induced by cisplatin in mouse splenocytes for 24 h. Conclusions: The phytochemical constituents of the citrus peels may exert biological activities including anticancer, immunostimulation and antigenotoxic potential.

  • MeOH extract of the leaves of Xanthium strumarium L. were found to have cytotoxic activities against five human tumor cell lines. Cytotoxicity-guided chromatographic fractionation led to the isolation of the ${\alpha}-methylene$ containing sesquiterpenes, xanthatin, 8-epi-xanthatin and 8-epi-tomentosin. 8-epi-Xanthatin was found to be far more cytotoxic than 8-epi-tomentosin, which lacks the conjugated enone moiety present in 8-epi-xanthatin.

  • Angelica acutiloba is one of the most intensively cultivated medicinal plants in Korea. The roots of this plant have been used as an important herbal drug, especially for the treatment of various female disorders, as the traditional therapy in Korea and other Asian countries. Consumption of its fresh leaves as a healthy vegetable has recently increased. In this study, essential oil fractions were extracted from the roots and leaves of this plant by steam distillation. Compositions of the two oils were compared by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The antibacterial activities of the essential oil were determined against three strains of Escherichia coli. DPPH radical scavenging and reducing power tests were performed to evaluateits antioxidant activities. The cytotoxic activities of the essential oil against a human breast and a uterine cancer cell line were estimated by MTT tests. Additionally, the morphological changes after treatment of the oil fraction were observed under a microscope. The essential oil fraction and its main components, Z-ligustilide and butylidene phthalide, inhibited the growth of three E. coli strains examined, with minimum inhibiting concentrations (MICs) ranging from 1.0 mg/ml to 8.0 mg/ml. Additionally, the essential oil fraction of A. acutiloba exhibited significant DPPH free radical scavenging activity and reducing power. Significant cytotoxic activities of the A. acutiloba essential oil were observed for human uterine (Hela) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines.

  • To find new inhibitory effects from oriental drugs, Albizziae root was extracted in methanol and the extracted was stepwisely fractionated by hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, butanol and water. In cytotoxic effect of Albizziae root fractions against cancer cell lines including human hepatoma cells(HepG2) were investigated. Expecially the butanol fraction exhibited a inhibition effects on the growth of human hepatoma cells(HepG2). It inhibited of HepG2 cells with the value of IC50. The activities of qutathione after B(a)P treatment were markedly decreased than control, but those levels were increased by the treatment of Albizziae root methanol fraction. The activity of glutathione-S-transferase after B(a)P treatment were markedly decreased than control, but those levels were increased by the treatment of Albizziae root methanol traction. Induction of phase II enzymes is a major mechanism of chemoprevention. The induction levels of quinone reductase(QR) activity in cultured murine hepatoma(Hepa IcIc7)cell by methanol extract of Albizziae root were measured. Among the tested tractions, the extracts of butanol were found to induce QR activities over 2.8 fold than control. These results suggest that Albizziae root has chemopreventive Potential by inducing QR activities and GST levels and increasing GSH

  • Panax ginseng has been extensively used in the traditional oriental medicine as a restorative, tonic and Prophylactic agent. Recently, several reports regarding to anticancer effects of Panax ginseng has accumulated. These studies emphasized the fact that the anticancer activities might be due to a glycoside group called ginsenoside or pan.u saponin which has a water soluble characteristic. However, the authors and collaborates demonstrated that a highly lipid soluble component in extract of Panax ginseng roots contains a considerable cytotoxic activities against marine leukemic cells (L1210, P388) and human censer cells (HRT-18, HT-29, HCT48). This study was devised to observe the cytotoxic activities of Petroleum-ether extract of Panax giuseng roots (crude GBD and its Partially Purified fraction from silicic acid column chromatography (7 : 3 GX) against sarcoma-180 (5-180) and Walker carcinosar- coma 256 (Walker 256) in vivo, and murine leukemic Lymphocytes (L1210) and human rectal cancer cells (HRT-18) and human colon cancer cells (HT-29 and HCT48) in vitro. Each cell-line was cultured in medium containing serial concentration of the crude GX or 7 : 3 GX in vitro. A highly lipid soluble compound in the extract of Panax ginseng root was cytocidal to murine leukemic cells and human colon and rectal cancer cells in vitro. In the meantime, ginseng saponin derivatives did not have cytotoxic effects at its corresponding concentration. The growth rates of the cancer cells in medium containing ginseng extracts were inhibited gradually to a significant degree roughly in proportion to the increase of the extract concentration. The cytotoxic activity of 7 : 3 GX was about 3 times more potent than that of crude GX, one unit of cytotoxic activity against L1210 cells being equivalent to 2.54 Ug and 058 Ug for the crude GX and 7 : 3 GX, respectively. The Ri value of the active compound on silica- gel thin layer chromatography with petroleum-ether/ethyl ether/acetic acid mixture (90 : 10 : 1, v/v/v) as a developing so lvent was 053. While, the Panaxydol and Panaxynol as active compounds were purified from Petroleum-ether extract of Panax ginseng root by Drs. Ahn and Kim, and author found out that the one unit of cytotoxic activity of the Panaxydol and Panaxynol against L1210 cells being equivalent to 056 Ug and 0.3918 respectively. The survival times of mice inoculated with S-180 cells were extended about 1.5 to 2 times by the 7 : 3 GX treatment compared with their control group. The significantly decreased hemoglobin values of rats after inoculation with Walker 256 were recovered to normal range by oral administration of the crude Gt The synthetic levels of protein, DNA and RNA in human colon and rectal cancer cells were significantly diminished by treatment with the crude GX, which can explain a part of the origin of its anticancer activity.
