Background: The chemical characteristics of the exo-secretion from Phellinus linteus (referred to as exo-secretion) including the compositions of amino acids and monosaccharides were investigated. In addition, cytotoxicity of the exo-secretion on 5 tumor cell lines derived from human cancers and its antitumor activity against ascitic sarcoma-180 cells were examined. Methods: The antitumor activity of exo-secretion from Phellinus linteus was determined by measuring parameters including tumor weight, life span of mice, chemotatic activity of leukocytes, counts of immune cells, and activity of cytokines. Results: The exo-secretion from Phellinus linteus showed no direct cytotoxicity to the five tumor cell lines tested, but it had a strong antitumor activity against sarcoma-180 cells in ICR mice as measured by tumor weight and life span of mice. The exo-secretion stimulated the chemotaxis of leukocytes and production of immune cells and cytokines. Conclusion: These results suggest that the exo-secretion from Phellinus linteus do not act as a direct cytotoxic substance to cancer cells but as an immunomodulator.

Background: Realgar which contains arsenic components has been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as an anticancer drug. However, neither Realgar nor its formula are soluble in water. As a result, high dose of Realgar has to be administered to achieve an effective blood medicine concentration, and this is associated with adverse side effects. The objective of the present study was to increase the solubility of a formula using hydrometallurgy technology as well as investigating its effects on in vitro and in vivo cell proliferation and apoptosis in Sarcoma-180 cell line. Materials and Methods: Antiproliferative activity of Realgar Bioleaching Solution (RBS) was evaluated by MTT assay. Further, effects of RBS on cell proliferation and apoptosis were studied using flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy. Kunming mice were administered RBS in vivo, where arsenic specifically targeted solid tumors. Results: The results indicated that RBS extract potently inhibited the tumor growth of Sarcoma-180 cell line in a dose-dependent manner. Flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy further indicated that RBS significantly induced cell apoptosis through the inhibition of cell cycle pathway in a dose-dependent manner. Further, on RBS administration to mice, arsenic was specifically targeted to solid tumor.s Conclusions: RBS could substitute for traditional Realgar or its formula to work as a potent tool in cancer treatment.

To develop potent anitumor polysac-charides from higher hungi of Korea the alcohol precipitated polysaccharides, which were obtained from hot water extracts of shake-cultured mycelia of eight species of basidiomycetes, were subjected to antitumor screening tests, using sarcoma 180 as a tumor cell. When administered i. p, at the dose level of 20mg/kg/day for ten days into the mice which were implanted with $1{times}10^{8}$ cells of sarcoma 180 twenty-four hour before the start of polysaccharide injection, the polysaccharides of Plutcus cervinus ISA-Pc-1004, Pleurotus pulmonarius, Hydnum repandum ISA-Hr-1006, and Laccaria laccata ISA-LI-1008 respectively showed inhibition ratios of 62.0%, 51.7%, 64.8%, and 57.8%. They were selected for further study, while those of Pancillus serotina ISA-Ps-1012, Laccaria amethystina ISA-La 1001, Pholiota adiposa ISA-Pa-1010, and Lepista spISA-Ls-1007 respectively showed inhibition ratios of -9.3%, 25.3%, 27.3% and 33.0%.

토양원으로 부터 분리된 Actinomycetes 120여주를 대상으로 S.D.I에 의해 마우스의 복수암인 Ehrlich ascith carcinoma 및 Sarcoma 180 세포의 succinate dehydrogonase 활성을 조해하는 물질을 강하게 생성하는 균 1주(As-568)를 선별하였으며 이 활성물질은 정상조직인 간, 신장, 뇌등에는 아주 강한 inhibition index를 나타내었으나 (20％ 이하) 암조직에서는 50％ 정도의 선택적 조해작용을 나타내었다. glucose-asparagine 배지에서 4∼S일간 배양하였을 때 가장 높은 역가의 활성물질을 생성하였으며 본 물질은 중성영역의 pH 및 열에 대해서는 비교적 안정한 고분자의 비투석성 물질로 추정된다.

In order to find out a proper connecting bridge between 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) and a macromolecule such as a polypeptide, potentially hydrolytic N$^{1}$-derivartives of 5-FU have been systhesized and evaluated for their biological activity. When tested with in vitro leukemic L$_{1210}$ cells all the obtained derivartives exhibited slightly higher antitumor activity than the parent 5FU. Among them the N$^{1}$ -carbamoyl analogue 2 and N$^{1}$-acetamido analogue 6b showed 50% inhibition of the L$_{1210}$ cell growth at the concentrations of 5.01$\times$10$^{-8}$M and 1.03$\times$10$^{-7}$M, respectively. When tested against sarcoma 180 tumor cells inoculated into mice, the compounds 2 and 6b exhibited, respectively, 62% and 54% inhibition of the solid tumor growth at the 5-time doses of 100 mg/kg/day. Both compounds, N$^{1}$-carbamoyl analogue 2 and N$^{1}$-acetamido analogue 6b, realeased the parent 5-FU when incubated in the L$_{1210}$ cell cultural media for 5 hrs.

뽕나무버섯부치는 주름버섯목, 송이버섯과에 속하는 버섯으로 예로부터 만성간염, 담낭염 및 암의 치료에 널리 이용해온 맛이 좋은 식의약용 버섯이다. 뽕나무버섯부치의 자실체로부터 중성염용액, 열수 및 메탄올을 이용하여 조다당류를 추출하여 Sarcoma 180가 접종된 ICR mice에 주사하여 항암 및 면역증강 효과를 조사하였다. 세포독성 실험결과, 각각의 세포는 $10{\sim}2000\;{\mu}g/ml$ 추출물 농도에서 세포독성을 나타내지 않았다. 각각의 조다당류가 투여된 실험군은 대조군에 비해 수명이 각각 $28.8{\sim}46.5%$ 연장되었다. 중성염용액으로 추출한 조다당류는 B 임파구의 alkaline phosphatase 활성을 대조군에 비해 약 $1.8{\sim}2.1$배 내외의 증가율을 나타냈다. 중성염추출 조다당류를 투여한 생쥐의 총 복강 세포 수는 대조군에 비하여 최고 9배 정도 증가하였으며, 혈액 중 백혈구의 수도 대조군에 비하여 약 1.9배 증가하였다. 또한 면역에 관련된 장기인 간, 비장 및 흥선의 체중이 대조군에 비하여 증가된 것을 확인하였다.

$Elfvingia$ $applanata$, a medicinal mushroom belonging to Basidiomycota, has been used in the effort to cure cancers of the esophagus and stomach, and is also known to have inhibitory effects on hepatitis B virus infection. The hot water soluble fraction (as Fr. HW) was extracted from fruiting bodies of the mushroom. $In$ $vitro$ cytotoxicity tests showed that hot water extract was not cytotoxic against cancer cell lines such as Sarcoma 180, HT-29, HepG2, and TR at concentrations of 10-2,000 ${\mu}g/mL$. Intraperitoneal injection with Fr. HW resulted in a life prolongation effect of 45.2% in mice previously inoculated with Sarcoma 180. Treatment of Fr. HW resulted in a 2.53-fold increase in the numbers of murine spleen cells at a concentration of 50 ${\mu}g/mL$, compared with control. Incubation of murine spleen cells with Fr. HW at a concentration of 500 ${\mu}g/mL$ resulted in improved immune-potwntiating activity of B lymphocytes through an 8.3-folds increase in alkaline phosphatase activity, compared with control. Fr. HW generated 12.5 ${\mu}M$ of nitric oxide (NO) when cultured with RAW 264.7, a mouse macrophage cell line, at the concentration of 50 ${\mu}g/mL$, while lipopolysaccharide, a positive control, produced 15.2 ${\mu}M$ of NO. Therefore, the results suggested that antitumor activities of Fr. HW from $E.$ $applanata$ might, in part, be due to host mediated immunostimulating activity.

In an effort to increase of the antitumor activity of 2(S)-$2^{I}$,$5^{I}$-trihydroxy-7, 8-dimethoxyflavanone isolated from Scutellaria indica, we synthesized its analogues, II, III and IV. They showed potent cytotoxicity in vitro against cancer cell lines, L1210, K562 and A549. On the basis of $ED_50$ values against the cancer cell lines, III exhibited about 2-7 times stronger activity than I against various cell lines. We tested the antitumor activity of the analogues against Sarcoma 180 cells in vivo and evaluated the structure-activity relationship. The antitumor activity appeared to be related to the hydrogen bond between carbonyl group at C-4 and hydroxyl group at C-5, in contrast to cytotoxic action.

Some components and antitumor effect of antler and fermented antler with Bacillus P-92 were determined. By fermenting the antler with Bacillus P-92, the amount of free amino acids, polypeptides and other compounds were increased. The free amino acid of the fermented antler was 6-fold higher than those of the untreated antler. Sarcoma 180 cells were intraperitoneally implanted into ICR mice to determine the effect of fermented antler and untreated antler on life span prolongation. The life span of ICR mouse treated with antler and fermented antler were prolonged to 24.4% and 39.2%(p<0.05), and survival rates were 22% and 33%, respectively. In addition, the induction of neutrophil was 2.3-fold and 3.4-fold, respectively.

현재 암의 치료에 이용되고 있는 항암제들은 therapeutic index가 낮아서 면역 및 조혈기능 장애 등 해결 되어야 할 문제점 들을 안고 있다. 이에 본 여구자는 우수하고 안전한 항암제를 개발하여 암의 치료에 이바지하고자, 화학연구소에서 in vitro 세로독성을 확인한 화합물에 대하여 in vivo 항암력을 실험, 치료효과가 높은 유도체/유사체 개발에 필요한 정보를 제공함에 본 연구의 목표를 두고 있다. 1차년도 연구에서는 화학연구소측이 제공한 KS 0409를 실험 약물로, sarcoma 180 복수암에 대한 in vivo 항암력을 실험하였다. 약 4주령의 SPE(specific pathogen-free) ICR계 마우스 및 BALB/c 마우스를 실험동물로 하여 sarcoma 180 암세포 부유액(세포 농도, 1$\times$$10^{7}$ cells/ml)을 실험동물의 복강내에 0.1ml 씩 이식하고 암이식 24시간 후부터 매일 1회씩 9회 약물 주사를 시행하였다. 대조약물 cisplatin은 2% DMSO-생리식염수를 주사하였다. 생존일수 관찰은 60dlfRK지 하였으며 % T/C를 계산하여 항암력을 평가하였다. 단 60일 생존 동물은 평균수명 계산에서 제외하였다.
