Magnoflorine, an important compound in Aristolochia, was usually used as an anxiolytic chemical. In this study, the magnoflorine was isolated from Aristolochia and the biological activities such as antioxidant, ${\alpha}$-tyrosinase inhibitory, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities were investigated. The magnoflorine showed significant antioxidant activity as a 2,2-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenger, $50{\mu}g/mL$ of the magnoflorine scavenged about 70.8% of all the free radicals. And it was good at ${\alpha}$-tyrosinase inhibiting, $100{\mu}g/mL$ of the magnoflorine inhibited 36.5% of the tyrosinase. High dosage of magnoflorine inhibited the inflammation production nitric oxide (NO), and the magnoflorine protected the murine macrophage cells (RAW 264.7) from LPS-induced apoptosis. The cell viability of human colon cancer calls (HT-29) was around 100% when treated with different dose of magnoflorine, it's suggesting that magnoflorine had no anticancer effect.

Antitumor activities of a peptide fraction isolated from traditional Korean soy sauce (SSP) were investigated in vitro and in vivo using cancer cell lines and F9 teratocarcinoma-bearing BALB/c mice. SSP exerted a dose-dependent antiproliferative effect on P388D1 mouse lymphoma, F9 mouse teratocarcinoma, and DLD-l human colon cancer cells with $IC_{50}$ values of 11, 50, and $50\mug/ml$, respectively. Tumor growth in F9 teratocarcinoma-bearing BALB/c mice, orally administered with 80 and 200 mg/kg/day of SSPs, was inhibited 10.3% and 52.4%, respectively, and survival days increased by 11.9% and 22.1%, respectively, compared to the control group. The results of antitumor activities exerted by SSP in vitro and in vivo suggest the feasibility of using SSP as an antitumor agent.

Cytotoxic and antimutagenic effects of a novel cis-$\varepsilon$-viniferin and five known stilbenes, transresveratrol, trans-$\varepsilon$-viniferin, gnetin H, suffruticosols A and B, isolated from the seeds of Paeonia lactiflora Pall. (Paeoniaceae) were determined against five different cancer cell lines, and mutagenicity of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) in Salmonella typhimurium TA100, respectively. Six stilbenes showed cytotoxic activity in a dose-dependent manner, and especially did potent cytotoxic activity against C6 (mouse glioma) cancer cell with $IC_{50}$ values ranging from 8.2 to $20.5{\;}{\mu\textrm{g}}/ml$. trans-Resveratrol showed significant cytotoxic activity against HepG2 (liver hepatoma) and HT-29 (colon) human cancer cell lines with $IC_{50}$ values of 11.8 and 25.2 g/ml, respectively. In contrast, trans-$\varepsilon$-viniferin and cis--viniferin, and gnetin H exhibited marked cytotoxic activity against Hela (cervicse) and MCF-7 (breast) human cancer cell lines with $IC_{50}$ values of 20.4, 21.5, and $12.9{\;}{\mu\textrm{g}}/ml$, respectively. However, suffruticosol A and B had less cytotoxic effect against all cancer cells except C6. Meanwhile, six stilbenes exerted antimutagenic activity in a dose-dependent fashion. Of them, trans-resveratrol exhibited the strongest antimutagenic effect against MNNG with $IC_{50}$ value of $27.0{\;}{\mu\textrm{g}}/plate$, while other five resveratrol oligomers also did moderate antimutagenic activity with $IC_{50}$ values ranging from 31.7 to $35.2{\;}{\mu\textrm{g}}/plate$.

본 연구에서는 동결건조 방법과 저온 진공 건조기를 도입하여 양파를 건조한 후 유기 용매로 추출하여 인체 결장암 및 섬유육종세포에 대한 증식 억제 효과와 세포 내 활성산소종 억제 효과에 대해 비교 검토하였다. 저온 진공 건조방법으로 건조된 양파 분말의 A+M 추출물은 가장 낮은 농도인 0.5 mg/ml에서부터 농도 의존적으로 인체 섬유육종 및 결장암세포의 성장을 억제시켜 동결 건조된 양파 A+M 추출물보다 높은 증식 억제효과를 보였고(p<0.05), A+M 추출물과 비교했을 때 낮은 증식 억제효과를 나타내었으나 두 가지 건조방법에 따른 각각의 양파 MeOH 추출물도 암세포 증식 억제효과를 보였다(p<0.05). 동결건조 및 저온 진공 건조방법에 따른 양파 분획물들도 높은 암세포 증식 억제효과를 나타내었으며 그 중에서 동결 건조된 양파의 water 분획물과 hexane 분획물은 저온 진공 건조된 양파의 경우 보다 다소 높은 저해효과를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 따라서 A+M 추출물과 MeOH 추출물의 경우에는 저온 진공건조에 의해 건조된 양파 추출물에 의한 암세포 증식 억제 효과가 컸으며 분획물들의 경우에는 동결 건조된 양파 추출물의 억제 효과가 다소 높았다. 지질과산화물 생성 억제효과 실험에서는 두 가지 건조 방법에 의해 건조된 양파 분말의 A+M 및 MeOH 추출물들과 그 분획물들은 첨가농도 2.5 mg/ml에서 blank군과 control군과 비교하였을 때 측정 시간 120분 동안 계속적으로 높은 세포 내 지질 과산화물 생성 억제 능력을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 세포내 활성산소종 억제효과는 동결건조에 의해 건조된 양파보다 저온 진공 건조방법에 의해 건조된 양파 분말의 추출물과 분획물들에 의한 저해효과가 더 높았다.

Silibinin은 milk thistle에서 분리된 주된 생리활성 성분으로 강력한 항산화제, 항암활성에 대해서 보고되어 있다. 하지만 항암활성에 대한 정확한 기전에 대해서는 밝혀져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 인간 전립선 암세포주인 PC-3 세포를 이용하여 세포사멸의 기전을 조사하였다. MTT assay를 통해 세포독성을 확인하였고, PI 염색을 통해 세포주기를 확인하고, Annexin-V/PI 염색을 통한 세포사멸을 확인하였다. 뿐만 아니라 western blot을 이용하여 세포주기 및 세포사멸에 관련된 단백질 발현 정도를 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과에서 silibinin은 인간 전립선 암세포주인 PC-3 세포에서 세포주기관련 단백질의 발현을 조절하여 세포주기 진행을 억제함으로써 세포사멸을 유도 함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 azoxymethane (AOM)과 dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)로 유도된 대장 발암과정에 대한 셀레늄의 방어 효과를 조사하였다. 셀레늄 결핍(0.02 ppm Se), 정상(0.1 ppm Se), 과다(0.5 ppm Se)사료를 12주간 식이로 급여하여 혈액검사와 대장암 발생의 초기단계인 aberrant crypt foci (ACF)수를 측정했으며, 암 발생율을 조사하였다. ICP-AES를 사용하여 간의 셀레늄 농도를 측정하였으며, 또한 셀레늄포함 항산화효소인 glutathione peroxidase (GPx) 활성을 알아보았다. 또한 TUNEL assay와 PCNA, $\beta$-catenin에 대한 면역조직 염색을 수행하였다. ACF 수 및 종양 발생률에 있어서, 셀레늄과다사료를 급여한 군이 정상셀레늄사료를 급여한 군보다 낮았으며, 셀레늄결핍사료를 급여한 군은 오히려 ACF 수 및 종양 발생률이 높았다. GPx 활성은 셀레늄의 섭취가 과다한 군에서 높게 나타났으며, 이 때, TUNEL에서 apoptotic positive cell이 증가하는 것을 확인했다. 또한 셀레늄의 섭취가 과다한 군에서 PCNA와 $\beta$-catenin의 발현이 감소됨을 볼 수 있었다. 본 마우스 모델실험에서 셀레늄은 여러 기전에 의해 대장암 발생을 억제할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Allium victorialis L. (A. victorialis) is a very popular vegetable in Korea. The most commonly used parts of this vegetable are the bulbs and young leaves. To determine if the mature leaves have any beneficial properties, we investigated antioxidant, anti-${\alpha}$-glucosidase, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities of water and ethanol extracts from A. victorialis. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by measuring total phenolic content, DPPH and superoxide radicals scavenging activities. The water extract from A. victorialis ($W{\cdot}A$. victorialis) exhibited higher antioxidant ability than the ethanol extract ($E{\cdot}A$. victorialis). Moreover, the water extract showed strong inhibitory effect on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. On the other hand, the ethanol extract had greater anti-inflammatory activity on murine macrophage cells (RAW 264.7) and greater anticancer activities against human colon cancer cells (HT-29). These results suggest that mature leaves from E·A. victorialis may have health-enhancing effects.

We found that the main bacterial metabolite M1 is an active component of orally administered protopanxadiol-type ginsenosides, and that the anti-metastatic effect by oral administration of ginsenosides may be primarily mediated through the inhibition of tumor invasion, migration and growth of tumor cells by their metabolite M1. Pharmacokinetic study after oral administration of ginsenoside Rb1 revealed that M1 was detected in serum for 24 h by HPLC analysis but Rb1 was not detected. M1, with anti-metastatic property, inhibited the proliferation of murine and human tumor cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner in vitro, and also induced apoptotic cell death (the ladder fragmentation of the extracted DNA). The induction of apoptosis by M1 involved the up-regulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase(CDK) inhibitor $p27^{Kip1}$ as well as the down-regulation of a proto-oncogene product c-Myc and cyclin D1 in a time-dependent manner. Thus, M1 might cause the cell-cycle arrest (G1 phase arrest) in honor cells through the up/down-regulation of these cell-growth related molecules, and consequently induce apoptosis. The nucleosomal distribution of fluorescence-labeled M1 suggests that the modification of these molecules is induced by transcriptional regulation. Tumor-induced angiogenesis (neovascularization) is one of the most important events concerning tumor growth and metastasis. Neovascularization toward and into tumor is a crucial step for the delivery of nutrition and oxygen to tumors, and also functions as the metastatic pathway to distant organs. M1 inhibited the tube-like formation of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial (HSE) cells induced by the conditioned medium of colon 26-L5 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. However, M1 at the concentrations used in this study did not affect the growth of HSE cells in vitro.
