Protein-polysaccharide fractions separated from nine Korean wild mushrooms were subjected to an in vitro screening test for lymphoblastogenic activity. Of these, PPLP, the protein-polysaccharide fraction of Lycoperdon pedicellatum, showed the most potent activity and were further investigated for its antitumor activity. When intraperitoneally injected into ICR mice once daily for six days at a dose of 30 mg/kg, PPLP strongly inhibited the growth of sarcoma 180 tumor cells, showing the inhibition ratio of 97.6%. PPLP also showed in vitro inhibitory activity on sarcoma 180 or leukemia L1210 at the concentration of 500 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ or higher. These results strongly suggest that PPLP might exert its antitumor activity through immunostimulation as well as inhibitory activity on the tumor cells.

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.

Anticancer effects of Aloe on sarcoma 180 in ICR mouse or human cancer cells were determined. Sarcoma 180 cells were inoculated subcutaneously into male ICR mouse to determine effect of Aloe on tumor gowth, or inoculated intraperitoneally into male ICR mouse to determine effect of Aloe on life span prolongation, followed by oral administration of Aloe vera(10 mg/kg/day, 50 mg/kg/day) or Aloe arborescens(10 mg/kg/day, 100 mg/kg/day) once a day for 14 days. The administration of Aloe vera or Aloe arborescens did not suppress tumor growh. However the life span of ICR mouse was prolonged to 19%(p<0.05), 22%(p<0.05) and 32%(p<0.05) by administration of Aloe vera 10 mg/kg/day, Aloe vera 50 mg/kg/day, and Aloe arborescens 100 mg/kg/day, respectively. To determine anticancer effect of Aloe in vitro, Aloe extract was added to the culture of human gastric cancer cells(SNU-1) and colorectal cancer cells(SNU-C2A), and concentration of Aloe to inhibit cancer cell growth was determined using MTT(3-[ 4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) cytotoxicity assay. High $ID_{50}$ values of Aloe vera and Aloe arborescens against gastric cancer cell line(SNU-1) and colorectal cancer cell line(SNU-C2A) suggest that Aloe gel does not have anticancer effect on these specific human cancer cells although high concentration of Aloe inhibited growth of human cancer cells significantly.

개불 당단백질의 sarcom 180 cell 고형암 성장 저지능은 4mg/kg에서 43.63%로 나타났으나, 20mg/kg이상의 농도에서는 고형암 성장 저지능을 보이지 않았다. Sarcom 180 cell에 대한 수명 연장 실험에서도 2mg/kg와 4mg/kg의 저농도에서는 상당한 수명연장 효과를 보였으나, 2Omg/kg 이상의 고농도 투여군에서는 수명연장 효과를 나타내지 않았다. 개불 당단백질의 sarcoma 180 cell에 대한 직접적인 세포 독성 효과는 농도의 증가에 따라 약간의 종양세포 살해효과를 보였으나, 그 효과는 미약하였다. 개불 당단백질의 면역능 증진효과는 체중에 대한 간과 비장의 중량비 증가, 총 복강세포수의 증가 그리고, 당단백질을 고농도 투여시 30.78%~46.30%정도의 백혈구 수 증가 등으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과로서 개불에서 추출한 당단백질의 항암효과는 면역활성의 증진과 면역자극의 효과라고 볼 수 있었으나, 전반적인 면역활성의 증가에도 불구하고, sarcoma 180 cell에 대한 고형암 성장 저지실험과 수명연장실험에서 고농도로 투여시에는 오히려 활성이 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 개불 당단백질의 최적투여 농도와 고농도 투여시의 부작용에 관한 더 많은 연구가 필요하였다. 이상의 결과에서 개불에서 추출한 당단백질의 면역자극에 의한 항종양 활성을 확인 되므로, 일반적으로 사용되어지는 항암 화학요법제와 더 불어 병행될 수 있는 면역증진제로서의 개발 가능성이 있다고 보여진다.

Many antitumor and immune modulating components have been isolated from fungal extracts. In this study, the authors isolated the proteoglycans from cultured mycelia of Lentin us lepideus, including especially the acidic polysaccharide fraction, named lepidan. It was obtained by extraction with hot water followed by purification using DEAE cellulose anion exchange. To elucidate antitumor effects against different type of tumor, the proteoglycans were tested on sarcoma 180, C3H MCA clone 16 and P388 leukemia in vivo. Lepidan showed 58.3% of tumor inhibition against solid form of sarcoma 180 and 58.6% against MCA clone 16. But lepidan did not affect life span of mice against P388 leukemia. Also when Lepidan was applicated to MTT assay, it did not show any direct cytotoxicity against various tumor cells in vitro.

The Artemisia capillaris THUNB is a perennial herb that belongs to the family Compositae spp and probably the most common plant among the various herbal folk remedies being used in the treatment of abdominal pain hepatitis chronic liver disease, jaundice and coughing in Korea. Recently the biological and pharmacological actions of herb have been studied well such as antibacterial, antidiabetic and antitumor activities. This experiment was conducted to investigate antitumor and immunomodulatory effects of Artemisia capillarix extracts against Hepa-1c1c7 and Sarcoma 180 cancer cells on in vivo experimental tests. On in vivo experimental tests using 280 ICR mice the gain of body weight in the control-group mice bearing Sarcoma 180 ascites tumor was 1.5 times more than that of the normal-group mice after 33 days. However, the gain of body weight in all experimental groups administered with Artemisia capillaris extracts was significantly lower than that of the control-group mice (P<0.05). The mean survival times of mice administered with Artemisia capillaris extracts of 25 and 100 mg/kg for 28 days were shown to be 25.39% and 15.39% longer than that of the control-group mice injected with saline (P<0.05). Artemisia capillaris extracts showed the highest tumor inhibition effects, which were 42.4% and 27.2% when intraperitoneally injected with doses of 25 and 100 mg/kg once a day for 28 days in inoculated ICR mice with Sarcoma 180 solid tumor cells (P<0.05). The results suggest that Artemisia capillaris methanol extracts have prominent antitumor effects on the cancer cell lines Hepa-1c1c7 and Sarcoma 180.

To elucidate action mechanism of lyophyllan A, an antitumor polysaccharide of Lyophyllum decastes, its immunological activities were examined. Lyophyllan A increased significantly the weights of spleen and liver of mice. Lyophyllan A also restored the decreased thymic weight in tumor-bearing mice. It did not show any direct cytotoxicity against tumor cells, but showed immunopotentiating activities by increasing the number of the plaques in hemolytic plaque assays. Lyophyllan A increased the number of peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) and inhibited the growth of sarcoma 180 mixed with PEC. Moreover the macrophages from lyophyllan A-treated mice exhibited a strong cytotoxic activity towards L5178Y target cells.

We have recently reported that red ginseng acidic polysaccharide (RGAP), isolated from Korean red ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer), showed immunomodulatory antitumor activities, mainly mediated by nitric oxide (NO) production by macrophage. In this study, we examined the effect of RGAP on anticancer activity using lung carcinoma 3LL, sarcoma 180 and adenocarcinoma JC tumor cells transplanted into mice as well as antimetastatic activity using B16-F10 melanoma. When RGAP (300 mg/kg) were treated to mice implanted with one of the three kinds of tumor cells, the tumor weight significantly decreased compared with control mice. Tumor inhibition ratios of RGAP (300 mg/kg) in mice transplanted with lung carcinoma 3LL, sarcoma 180 and adenocarcinoma JC cells were 26.8%, 29.3% and 31.6%, respectively. Hundred mg/kg of RGAP did not cause a significant decrease in tumor weight compared with control group. When RGAP was administered i.p. with the dose of 100 and 300 mg/kg in B16-F10 melanoma-bearing mice, lung metastasis were reduced significantly in mice. Corrected phagocytic index was also remarkably increased by RGAP. These results suggest that stimulation of phagocytic activity of macrophages may be a mechanism for in vivo anticancer and antimetastasis activities of RGAP.
