We applied enzymatic hydrolysis and tangential flow filtration (TFF) to purify a novel anticancer peptide from Mytilus coruscus (M. coruscus) and investigated its anticancer properties. To prepare the peptide, eight proteases were employed for enzymatic hydrolysis. Pepsin hydrolysates, which showed clearly superior cytotoxic activity on prostate cancer cells, were further purified using a flow filtration system using a TFF and consecutive chromatographic methods. Finally, a novel anticancer peptide was obtained, and the sequence was identified as Ala-Phe-Asn-Ile-His-Asn-Arg-Asn-Leu-Leu. The peptide from M. coruscus effectively induced cell death on prostate, breast and lung cancer cells but not on normal liver cells. This is the first report of an anticancer peptide derived from the hydrolysates of M. coruscus.

Ethanol and butanol fractionation of E. senticosus showed strong anti-oxidant activity, and methanol and water extracts also had high anti-oxidant activity. The anti-oxidant activities in ethanol and butanol fractionation were higher than or similar to those of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. The cytotoxic effect of root extract of E. senticosus was evaluated on seven different human cancer cell lines, The extracts of leaf and stem of E. senticosus also had strong antioxidant activity, but the antioxidant activity in root extract was higher than those in leaf and stem extracts. Methanol, hexane, and aqueous fraction layer had much higher inhibitory activities on lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes compared with ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. The effect of root extract of E. senticosus was evaluated on six human cancer cell lines. The values of 50% growth inhibition $(GI_{50})$ for the extracts were mostly below $30{\mu}g/ml$, and the extracts are considered as active inhibitory compounds on cancer cells.

Objectives : This study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidative and anticancer activity of extracts from Scutellaria baicalensis, Zizyphus jujuba and Atractylodes macrocephala. Methods : Three kinds of medicinal herbs were extracted with distilled water and 70% ethanol, and the extracts were tested for their antioxidant activity and growth inhibition activity against cancer cells. Results : Electron donating abilities (EDA) of the water and ethanol extract from Zizyphus jujuba and Atractylodes macrocephala were over than 87% at 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The highest nitrite scavenging abilities (NSA) of the water and ethanol extracts from Scutellaria baicalensis were 68.9 and 79.2% at 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Atractylodes macrocephala extracts had shown the highest growth inhibition activity against both of MDA and A549 cells and the water extract had higher activity than ethanol extract. Conclusions : These results suggest that the extracts of medicinal herbs used for this experiment had specific biological activity and they can be used as natural antioxidant to prevent oxidative damage in normal cells.

The general pharmacological properties of new platinum (II) coordination complexes, SA : [Pt(trans-ι-DACH)(DPPE)] . 2NO$_3$, SB : [Pt(cia-DACH)(DPPP)] 2NO$_3$ and SC : [Pt(cia-DACH)(DPPE)] 2NO$_3$on central nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular and digestive systems were studied in various experimental animals. These platinum (II) anticancer agents had no effects on analgesia, thiopental-induced sleeping time, body temperature, strychnine-induced convulsion, inflammation and local anesthetic action in mice and rats. Intestinal motility, stomach-ulcer induced by serotonin and bile-secretion of rats were not influenced by the dose of 30 mg/kg. However SB and SC induced a mild decrease in heart rate in anesthetized rats. Based on these results, these new platinum (II) complexes may be regarded as a valuable lead compound in the development of new anticancer chemotherapeutic agents with marked antitumor activity and low toxicity.

Eucommiae Cortex (EC), bark of Eucommia ulmoides, has been known as a traditional medicine to regulate hypertension and immune system. Because silk of gum in the EC blocks the release of active ingredients, EC generally has been utilized after processing with carbonization or salt-water to breakdown it. This study aimed to investigate the differences of non-processed EC and processed EC on antioxidant and anticancer properties. Antioxidant capacity was assessed by measuring the content of total polyphenols, reducing power, and ABTS radical scavenging effect. And anticancer effects were examined by evaluating the viability of pancreatic cancer cells and wound healing ability. The results demonstrated that processed EC contained more content of polyphenols and exhibited more potent reducing power and radical scavenging effect than non-processed EC. In addition, processed EC more efficiently inhibited proliferation and migration of pancreatic cancer cells. These results suggest that processing of medicinal plants can improve the biological properties such as antioxidant or anticancer activity, which may lead to the development of herbal medicine treatment technology.

발아기간에 따른 발아 벼 추출물의 항산화성분, 항산화활성 및 암세포주 성장억제효과를 살펴보았다. 발아는 0, 2, 4, 6 및 8일 동안 진행하였으며, 발아 후 70% 에탄올로 추출물을 제조하였다. 발아가 진행됨에 따라 항산화성분 및 항산화활성은 2~4일까지는 증가하였다가 그 이후에는 감소하였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 발아 4일차에서 4.05 mg/g으로 가장 높았으며, DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 0, 2, 4, 6 및 8일차 각각 29.25, 34.82, 31.17, 26.27 및 18.51%로 발아 2일차에 가장 높았으며, 총 항산화력은 발아기간별로 각각 3.05, 3.17, 3.84, 2.43 및 2.167 mg AA eq/100 g으로 발아 4일차에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 환원력 또한 발아 4일차에 1.25로 가장 높게 나타났다. 암세포주 성장억제효과는 위암세포주(AGS) 보다 대장암세포주(HCT-116)에서 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터 생리활성 증가를 위해서 벼를 발아시킬 경우3~4일이 적당한 것으로 판단되며, 추후 새로운 물질의 생성과 생리활성 성분들에 대한 연구가 더 진행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

청갓과 적갓에서 추출한 GSLs에 의한 4종류의 암세포주를 이용하여 항암 활성을 조사하였다. 또한 갓 추출물에 함유된 GSLs를 HPLC와 LC-ESI/MS로 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 갓에서 추출한 GSLs의 항암 활성을 분석한 결과, SNU-354 (간암)>SNU-C4결정암)>SNU-251(난소암)>MCF-7(유방암) 순으로 높게 나타났다. 또한 GSLs 추출물의 처리 시간(24, 48시간)에 따르면 적갓 추출물의 항암 효과가 청갓 추출물의 항암 효과보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. 2. 갓의 주요한 GSLs 성분은 sinigrin이었으며, 청갓이 적갓보다 더 높은 함량을 나타내었으며, 또한 청갓에서만 glucoiberin이 미량으로 검출되었다. 3. 항암 활성 평가에서 적갓 GSLs 추출물이 청갓보다 더 높은 활성을 나타낸 것은 GSLs 물질 이외에 다른 물질들이 관여 했을 것으로 생각되므로 이에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the antimicrobial and anticancer effects of Galla Rhois (GR) on pathogens isolated from oral and KB human oral epidermoid carcinoma cells. Their antimicrobial activities were tested against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Enterobacter aerogenes (E. aerogenes), Escherichia coli (E. coil) and Candida albicans (C. albicans). GR powder has the antimicrobial activity against C. albicans, S. mutans and S. aureus. The extracts of water and ethanol have the antimicrobial activity against S. sureus and C. albicans. The water extract showed inhibitory activity against the growth and pH of above mentioned reference microorganisms. The water extract of GR declined cell viability in a dose dependent manner. DNA flow cytometric analysis showed that population of sub-G/sub 0//G₁, phase of cell cycle was increased by GR extract treatment in a dose dependent manner. Western blot analysis revealed that Caspase-3 was reduced by GR extract treatment. These result suggested that GR has the effect of antimicrobial on pathogens isolated from oral, and also, has anticancer effect that associated with the induction of apoptosis in a dose dependent manner in KB human oral epidermoid carcinoma cells. It may be GR-induced apoptosis was mediated via activation of Caspase-3.

본 연구에서는 느릅나무 뿌리껍질에서 분리한 신규 균주인 Enterobacter sp. SSYL(KCTC 0687BP)을 사용하여 세포밖 당화합물(exopolysaccharide, EPS)을 생산하여, EPS의 면역활성에 의한 항암효과를 실험적으로 제시하였다. EPS는 총당함량이 43.0% 내지 70.8%였으며, 총산성당 함량은 7.1% 내지 11.4%, 총단백질 함량은 19.3% 내지 20.6%로, 분자량은 100,000에서 1,000,000 Da의 당단백질임을 알 수 있었다. EPS의 당구성성분을 보면 glucuronic acid (46.7%), fucose(10.8%), fructose (0.2%), glucose(29.9%), galactose(11.0%)이었고, 이외 미지의 성분이 1.3% 정도였다. EPS의 면역활성 검정에 따르면 EPS는 면역세포의 증식을 자극하는 mitogen역할을 하며, 특히 T 세포에 의한 면역증강효과를 나타내었다. B16 흑색종 이식마우스를 이용한 생체내 면역활성에 의한 항암효과를 관찰한 결과 유의성 있는 항암효과를 나타내었으며, 천연물인 유근피 추출 단백다당체의 결과(3 mg/kg에서 약 140%의 생존연장효과를 보임)와 비교해 볼 때 1/10의 농도인 0.3mg/kg에서 약 138.1%의 비슷한 항암효과를 나타내었다.
