Colon cancer is the most common form of cancer diagnosis in worldwide. There are growing interests in the health benefits associated with consumption of fruits and vegetables, especially for the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular or other chronic diseases. The objective of the present study was to investigate the antioxidant and anticancer activities of natural product, guarana(GR) and graviola(GV) in human colon carcinoma HCT-116 cells. MTT assay, flow cytometry analysis were employed to investigate the anticancer mechanism and DPPH assay was determined to the antioxidant activity to scavenge free radicals in extract of these. All two extracts showed significantly antioxidant activity at 50mg/ml of concentration. GR and GV reduced HCT-116 cell proliferation in a dose dependent manner. Specially GR treatment(96.65±3.71) also significantly increased the sub-G1 population more than GV(79.58±2.87) treatment in HCT-116 at the concentration of 10mg/ml, as shown by flow cytometry assay. Statistical analyses revealed GR and GV exhibited significantly high (P < 0.05) cytotoxicity in HCT-116. These findings indicate that GN and GV may serve as novel therapeutic agents for colon cancer treatment and future leads for drug development.

This study was performed to examine antitumor activities of Rubus coreanus Miquel and Angelica gigas Nakai extracts against sarcoma-180 and anti-stress activities in ICR mice. The variation of body weights of the 20 days of Rubus coreanus extracts-administrated mice group was very low. The survival rate (T/C %) of Rubus coreanus extract administrated group was 161% after 50 days from the inoculation of sarcoma-180 and the increment of their body weights was suppressed. Anti-stress effect of the extracts of R. coreanus and A. gigas were estimated by maeasuring blood chemical value and internal organs weight in ICR mice. The extracts of R. coreanus reduced the cholesterol and glucose to the normal level in the all stress animal models. The extracts of R. coreanus reduced the hypertrophy of the internal organs such as adrenal, spleen and liver to the regular level.

The use of mushrooms has immense potential in many diverse applications. Until now, more than 3,000 species are consumed around the world, and more than 100 have shown promising clinical activity against cancer and other chronic diseases. Sparassis latifolia (formerly S. crispa) is an edible mushroom that harbors ${\beta}$-glucan reported to possess immunostimulatory and anticancer properties. However there have been no reports on the anticancer activity of hydrophobic fractions of S. latifolia. In this study, the anticancer activities of S. latifolia extract and hydrophobic fractions were investigated using AGS (stomach cancer), A529 (lung cancer), and HepG2 (liver cancer) cell lines. In cytotoxicity results of A529 cells, fractions of A2, A3, A4, A6, A7, A8, A9, and A10 in all 12 fractions show low $IC_{50}$ values. For HepG2 cells, A7 fraction results in the lowest $IC_{50}$ value while A7, A8, and A11 fractions show low $IC_{50}$ values in AGS cells. S. latifolia extract lead to low cell viability in cancer cells, compared to positive control of paclitaxel. A compound with molecular weight of 181 were detected using HPLC-MS but not identified yet. As a result, the hydrophobic fractions of S. latifolia EtOH extract would be a possible candidate as natural anticancer agents in the future.

The present study describes the preliminary evaluation of the cytotoxic effect from Styela clava (Korean name : miduduk) extracts. S. clava was treated with methanol, ethanol, acetone, and water, then cytotoxic effect of the extracts were evaluated by the MTT reduction assay. The ethanol extracts from S. clava showed the cytotoxic activity on the HT-29 human colon cancer cells. The ethanol extracts was further fractionated with n-hexane, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, and water according to the degree of polarity. The diethyl ether fraction showed high cytotoxic activity of HT-29 cells. however, the other fractions showed low cytotoxicity. The diethyl ether layer also showed the cytotoxic activity against SW620, HeLa, and MCF-7 cells. These studies support that extracts from S. clava may be a potential candidate as a possible chemotherapeutic agent against human cancer cells.

To evaluate the anti-tumor activity of Flammulina velutipes extract, we used an in vitro wound-healing assay, and an in vivo approach using a mouse melanoma model. Wound-healing activity in B16 cells was affected by the extract in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that the extract had anti-metastatic activity. The extract also exhibited strong anti-tumor activity against lung cancer when B16 cells were injected into mouse veins together with B16 melanoma cells. The results indicatethat the Flammulina velutipes extract decreased B16 cancer cell growth by inhibition of cell migration both in vitro and in vivo.

Soybean has drawn much attention mainly due to its chemopreventive action as well as antiestrogenic effect. Although suppression of breast and prostate cancers were believed to be exerted via antiestrogenic or antiandrogenic activity of genistein, its mechanism of prevention against other cancers has not been clearly demonstrated. We proposed that prevention by soybean from other cancers than sex hormone -related cancers was achieved via modulation of drug-metabolizing enzymes. Addition of acid hydrolysate of 80% methanol extract of soyflour to diet caused a significant induction of quinone reductase, an anticarcinogenic marker enzyme and one of drug-metabolizing enzymes, in mouse lung while it suppressed arylhydrocarbon hydroxylase, involved in bioactivation of procarcinogens, in kidney and small intestine. It is likely that active components exist in a conjugated form and released by acid hydrolysis to be able to affect drug-metabolizing enzyme and exert chemopreventive activity. Benzo(a)pyrene-induced tumor development in mouse lung was greatly reduced by soybean extract supplementation, which is consistent with the extract's capability to modulate favorably arylhydrocarbon hydroxylase and quinone reductase towards chemoprevention.

An antitumor substance was purified from the culture filtrate of phytopathogenic fungus Alternaria brassicicola SW-3 isolated from soil of a chinese cabbage patch, and its characteristics were investigated. Antitumor activity of A. brassicicola SW-3 was measured by MTT assay. The cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell line was detected in the culture filtrate of A. brassicicola SW-3, but no activity found in mycelium. Antitumor substance was isolated from the culture broth by ethyl acetate extraction and purified by silica gel column chromatography. Structure of the purified compound was analyzed by the instrumental analysis such as $^1$H-NMR, $^{13}$ C-NMR and IR spectroscopy. The purified fungal metabolite of an A. brassicicola SW-3, consists of 11 carbon chain with two hydroxyl groups and two epoxides which is identical to depudecin. The $IC_{50}$/ values of the active compound identified as depudecin were $69\mu$g/mL and $57\mu$g/mL against mouse melanoma B16BL6 cell line, and human hepatoma SK-HEP1 cell line, respectively.

최근 들어서 대기오염의 변화, 미세먼지, 황사, 각종 중금속 오염, 방사능 등의 대기오염으로 인하여 인간의 질병에 대한 면역기능이 떨어지고 있다. 또한 바이러스 침입에 의한 면역기능의 약화는 심각한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 항염, 항균, 항암, 항바이러스에 대한 관심이 매우 고조되고 있다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하고 인체의 면역기능을 활성화시키기 위해서는 정신수양과 먹거리의 환경변화가 절실히 요구되어지고 있다. 면역기능을 활성화 시키는데 가장 좋은 식품으로는 야생에서 자생하는 동충하초로 알려져 있다. 이러한 동총하초는 가격이 매우 비싸서 일반적으로 식품으로 활용하기에는 많은 어려움이 따르고 있다. 중국의 해발 3000m 이상에서 야생하는 동충하초를 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 동충하초를 메탄올과 에탄올에서 농축하여 실험을 하였던 결과 에탄올 처리구보다는 메탄올 처리구에서 훨씬 더 양호한 결과를 나타내었다. 이러한 현상은 총 폴리페놀 함량, 항산화, 항균, 항암활성에서 같은 반응을 보였다. 동충하초의 항균활성은 일반적으로 실험에 사용된 5종(Bacillus subtilis, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Corynebacterium ammoniagenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa)의 균에서 대부분 억제활성을 나타내었다.

최근 새롭게 조명된 생약에 관한 여러 연구를 통해, 기존의 항암제 보다는 더 효과적이고 인체에는 부작용이 적은 항암제를 개발해내기 위해 국내 자생 생약중 총 103 종류( 95 손 98종 )을 채집하였다. 이들 생약을 암세포주( L1210, P333 D$_1$)와 장상세포주(Vero)을 대상으로 MTT colorimetric assay를 실시하여 항종양성에 대해 알아보았다. 이들 세포주에 대한 $IC_{50}$/ 값으로 세포독성능을 알아보았다. 그리하여 정상세포주에는 적은 세포 독성능을 나타내면서, 암세포주에는 높은 세포 독성능을 나타내는 생약제 6종( BuOH 추출물 2종, MeOH) 추출물 4종 )을 선정하였다. 이중 항암활성능이 가장 높은 미역줄나무(Tripteryrium regelii)를 선택하여 유기용매별로 추출, 그 각각에 대한 세포 독성능이 가장 높게 나타난 2분획을 선택하여 기존에 시판중인 Adriamycin과의 병용 투여시의 세포 독성능의 상승효과를 확인 하였다. 즉 Adriamycin과의 단독 투여보다 복합 투여시에 암세포주에 대한 세포 독성능이 높아졌고, 정상세포주에 대한 독성이 감소되는 효과가 나타났다. 또한 in vitro 에서는 세포 독성능이 다소 적더라도 in vivo에서 면역학적 활성이 기대되는 생약제 3종을 선정하여 항암성분의 분리 및 정제를 하여 항암성에 대하여 알아보았다.
