For the screening of bioactive natural products, the benzene or methanol extracts from 93 medicinal plants of Korea were prepared, and tested for the cytotoxicity against L1210 cells and for the antitumor action (Bae et al., 1992 and 1996). Of 93 extracts tested, 6 samples showed a cytotoxicity in both benzene and methanol extract, 39 samples in benzene and 13 samples in methanol extract. The benzene extract of the root of Scutellaria indica L., Sophora fIavescens Solander ex Aiton, Carpesium abrotanoides L., Gymnaster koraiensis (Nakai) Kitamura, Pyrola japonica Klenze, and Forsythiae Fructus showed a potent cytotoxic activity. This observation led to isolate active cytotoxic components, some of which demonstrated some antitumor action. In addition, the structure-activity relationship was discussed.

By cytotoxicity screening of the 65 Korean medicinal plants against leukemia L1210 and P388D$_{1}$ cell line using the MTT assay in vitro, Albizzia julibrissin was studied. This plant was extracted with MeOH and MeOH extract was solvent-fractionated with CHCl$_{3}$, EtOAc and n-BuOH in sequence. Each fraction by various solvents system was purified by column chromatography and preparative TLC, and four compounds were isolated. The structure of each compound was deduced from UV, IR, $^{1}$H-HMR, $^{13}$ C-NMR and CI-MS spectral data. The cytotoxic activity ($IC_{50}$/_ of the compounds, quercetin-3-rhamnoside, 4',5,7-trihydroxyfla-van-3-glucoside, spinasterol-3-glucoside and acacic acid lactone, were evaluated as 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 2$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml against L1210 and as 9$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 10$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 1.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 1.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml and 0.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml against P388D$_{1}$, respectively.

6-(1-azidoalkyl)-DMNQ derivatives compared to 2-(1-azidoalkyl)-DMNQ isomers, exhibited higher cytotoxic activity against L1210 mouse leukemia cells and stronger inhibition of DNA topoisomerase-I (TOPO-I), suggesting involvement of steric hindrance. However, similar antitumor activity against mice bearing S-180 cell was shown by 2-an 6-(1-azidoalkyl)-DMNQ derivatives.

Three known triterpenoids were isolated from MeOH extract of C. apiifolia (Ranunculaceae). Their structures were identified as oleanolic acid (1), ursolic acid (2), hederagenic acid (3) by comparison of their physicochemical and spectral data with the literature values. Among them, 2 was isolated for the first time from this plant. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against L1210, HL-60, SK-OV-3 tumor cell lines. All compounds 1-3 were shown good activities with $IC_{50}$ values ranging from 7.7 to $25.6\;{\mu}g/ml. This result suggests that triterpenoids 1-3 are main cytotoxic principles of this plant.

A protein-polysaccaride fraction Kp(53.9% polysaccharide, 14.2% protein) was separated from the shake-cultured mycelia of a basidiomycetous fungus, Phellinus linteus, and its antitumor activity against sarcoma 180 in ICR mice was investigated. When administered after the tumor implantation, Kp exerted antitumor activity by inhibiting the growth of the sarcoma 180 solid tumor by 71.5% and increasing the life span of the sarcoma 180 ascitic mice by 51.5% at 100 mg/kg. In pretreatment tests, in which Kp was administered once daily for 9 days before the tumor implantation, Kp inhibited the growth of the solid and ascites form of sarcoma 180, respectively, by 35.4% and by 80.3% at 100 mg/kg. However, Kp showed no in vitro cytotoxic activity against a murine leukemia L1210 and a human gastric tumor SNU.1 upto the concentration of $200\;{\mu}g/ml$. From these results, it is clear that the antitumor activity of Kp is exerted through its immunomodulating activity on the host's immune system.

This study was carried out to evaluate cytotoxic effects of the roots of Sophora flavescens Ait. extracts on murine leukemia tumor cells lines $(P388D_1\;and\;L1210)$. Disruptions in cell organelles were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The comparison of $IC_{50}$ values of the ethyl acetate of Sophora flavescens Ait. extract in leukemia cell lines showed that their susceptibility to these extracts decreased in the following order : Adriamycin>Fr.4>Fr.5>Fr.3>Fr.1>Fr.2 by the MTT assay. These results suggest that the fraction 4 of the ethyl acetate soluble extract of Sophora flavescens Ait. may be a valuable choice for the studies on the treatment of murine leukemia cell lines.

This study was devised to observe the cytotoxlc activities of petroleum-ether extract of Panax ginseng root(crude Gx) and its partially purified fraction from silicon acid column chromatography(7:3 CX) against sarcoma-180(5-180) and Walker carcinosarcoma 256(Walker 256) in vivo, and murine leukemic lymphocytes(L1210) and human rectal cancer cell(HRT-18) and human colon cancer cells(HT-29 and HCT-48) in vitro . Each cell-line was cultured in medium containing serial concentrations 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 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 L121f cells being equivalent to 2.54$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 0.88 $\mu\textrm{g}$ for the crude Gx and 7:3 Gx, respectively. The Rf 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 solvent was 0.23. 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 Gx. 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.

The secondary hydroxy group at side chain of shikonin structure was selectively acylated with various haloacetic acids in presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 4-dimethylamin opyridine to produce haloacetylshikonin derivatives. The cytotoxicity of monohaloacetylshikonin derivatives against L1210 cells increased in the following order; monochloroacetylshikonin ($ED_{50}$, 0.142${\mu}$g/ml) > monobromoacetylshikonin ($ED_{50}$. 0.158${\mu}$g/ml) > monoiodoacetylshikonin ($ED_{50}$, 0.173${\mu}$g/ml). Introduction of larger halogen atoms decreased the cytotoxic activity, presumably due to steric hinderance. The cytotoxicity of chloroacetylshikonin derivatives was dependent on the number of chlorine atom, thus increasing in the following order; trichloroacetylshikonin (0.032${\mu}$g/ml) > dichloroacetylshikonin (0.059${\mu}$g/ml) > monochloroacetylshikonin ($ED_{50}$, 0.142${\mu}$g/ml). Thus, the electron withdrawing effect seems to be important for the cytotoxicity of chloroacetylshikonin derivatives. Consistent with the above, dichloroacetylshikonin (T/C. 182%) and trifluoroacetylshikonin (195%) showed higher T/C values than monochloroacetyl-(T/C, 122%), monobromoacetyl-(T/C, 154%) and monoiodoacetylshikonin (T/C, 117%) derivatives. Haloacetylshikonin derivatives showing lower cytoxic activities against L1210 cells exhibited lower T/C values. It seems that there is a relationship between the cytoxicity of haloacetylshikonin and their antitumor activity.

Fourty eight derivatives of 2-(1-oxyalkyl)-1,4-dioxy-9,10-anthraquinone were synthesized, and their antitumor activity was evaluated. On the whole, 2-(1-hydroxyalkyl)-1,4-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinones (DHAQ=1,4-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone) showed stronger cytotoxic activity against L1210 cells than 2-(l-hydroxyalkyl)-1,4-dimethoxy-9,10-anthraquinones(DMAQ =1,4-dimethoxy-9,10-anthraquinone), implying that free hydroxy groups at C-1 and C-4 of the anthraquinone structure are necessary for the cytotoxic activity. The bioactivity of 2-(lhydroxyalkyl)-DHAQ derivatives differed according to the size of alkyl group at C-1;while the elongation of alkyl group over 7 carbon atoms failed to enhance the bioactivity, the derivatives possessing alkyl moiety of 1-6 carbon atoms showed an increase in the cytotoxicity and the antitumor activity in Sarcoma-180; 2-hydroxymethyl-DHAQ ($ED_{50}$, $15\mu\textrm{g}$/ml; T/C, 125%), 2-(1 -hydroxyethyl)-DHAQ($1.9{\mu}g/ml;139.2%)$;, 2-(1-hydroxypropyl)-DHAQ ($7.2{\mu}g$/ml; 135.1%), 2-(1-hydroxybutyl)-DHAQ ($10.2{\mu}g/ml; 125.3%)$, 2-(1-hydroxypentyl)-DHAQ ($23.7{\mu}g/ml; 110.1%$). and 2-(1-hydroxyhexyl)-DHAQ ($58{\mu}g/ml;108%$). Next, 2-(1-Hydroxyalkyl)-DHAQ derivatives were acetylated to produce 2-(1-acetoxyalkyl)-DHAQ analogues. Although the acetylation somewhat enhanced the cytotoxicity, but not the antitumor action. In addition, the presence of phenyl group at $C-1^{l}$ enhanced the cytotoxicity and the T/C value, compared to alkyl groups of same size; 2-(1-hydroxy-1-phenyl)-DHAQ ($ED_{50}$, $5.6{\mu}g$, T/C, 137%).
