Abstract
The present study has been undertaken to detect edible medicinal plants with antineoplastic property on the basic of a number of traditional Korean medical literatures, besides studies on development of anti-cancer medical wild plants growing in Korea and to prove experimentally their efficacy by in vitro and in vivo tests.235 species from 45 family 79 genus were screened primarily as edible sources of antitumor effect. Among those the crude. extracts of 40 spp. showed considerable cytotoxicity in vitro and especially Pegangkuen(Patrinia scabiosaefolia), Deod-eog(Codonopsis lanceolata), Okssusu(Zea may), and Geureong(Eragrositis ferru-ginea) exhibited significant antitumor activity against sarcoma 180 asites mice. However, additional researches should be mode for the confirmation of their availability as antitumor plants.
