The cytotoxic activity of Cratalariae sessiliflorae on cultured NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and human oral epithelioid carcinoma cells (KB) were evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazoliumbromide (MTT) colorimetric method These fractions of methanol extract of Cratalariae sessiliflorae showed inhibitory effect in vitro in the milligram range against KB cell lines. In general, the antitumor activities of these fractions were does-dependent over the milligram range. The comparison of IC50 values of these fractions in tumor cell lines showed that their susceptibility to these fractions decrease in the following order: Fr. 4> Fr. 6> Fr. 10> Fr. 2> Fr. 11> Fr. 3> Fr. 8> Fr. 7> Fr. 9> Fr. 1> Fr. 5 by the MTT assay. These fractions were tested for their cytotoxic effects on NIH 3T3 fibroblasts using MTT assay. They exhibited potent cytotoxic activities in vitro in the milligram range against NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. In general, the cytotoxic activities of these fractions were does-dependent over the milligram range. The comparison of CD50 values of these fractions in NIH 313 fibroblasts shows that their susceptibility to these fractions in decrease the following order: Fr. 10> Fr. 9> Fr. 2 = Fr. 4> Fr. 8> Fr. 11> Fr. 1 = Fr. 7> Fr. 3> Fr. 5 = Fr. 6 by the MTT assay. These results suggests that fraction 5 has the most growth - inhibitory activity against KB cell lines.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 주로 소비되고 있는 감성돔(A. schlegeli), 참돔(P. major), 돌돔(O. fasciatus) 및 벵에돔(G. punctata)에 대한 기능성 식품으로서 영양학적 가치를 평가하기 위하여 인체 위암세포(AGS)와 인체 결장암세포(HT-29)에 대한 세포 독성 효과를 비교 연구하였다. 4종의 돔 A+M 및 MeOH 추출물들을 AGS 암세포에 처리했을 때 A+M추출물의 경우 첨가농도 5 mg/ml에서 참돔(P. major)과 감성돔(A. schlegeli) 추출물은 80% 이상의 높은 세포독성 효과를 나타내었으며 그 다음으로 벵에돔(G. punctata)이 70%, 돌돔(O. fasciatus)이 53%의 세포독성 효과를 보였다. MeOH 추출물의 경우 참돔(P. major)과 돌돔(O. fasciatus) 추출물이 약 80% 이상의 세포독성 효과를 나타났으며, 이어서 감성돔(A. schlegeli)과 벵에돔(G. punctata) 추출물이 약 70% 정도의 세포독성 효과를 보였다. 4종의 돔의 HT-29 암세포에 대한 세포독성 효과는 AGS 암세포의 결과와 비교했을 때 세포독성 효과는 다소 낮았다. 참돔(P. major), 감성돔(A. schlegeli), 돌돔(O. fasciitis) 및 벵에돔(G. punctata)의 A+M 추출물의 $IC_{50}$ 값은 각각 3.35, 6.16, 6.17 및 4.47 mg/ml이었고 MeOH 추출물의 경우 $IC_{50}$ 값은 각각 3.61, 5.52, 2.07, 및 6.06 mg/ml이었다. 이상의 결과로부터 4종 돔 중에서 참돔(P. major) 추출물에 의한 세포독성 효과가 상대적으로 높아 참돔(P. major) 추출물을 용매 극성에 따라 분획하여 얻어진 n-hexane, 85% aq. MeOH, n-BuOH 및 water 분획물들에 의한 인체 암세포에 대한 세포독성 효과를 알아 본 결과 85% aq. MeOH 분획물에 의한 AGS 및 HT-29암세포에 대한 $IC_{50}$ 값은 각각 0.33 및 1.58 mg/ml로 나타났다. 따라서 참돔(P. major)의 85% aq. MeOH 분획물은 AGS 및 HT-29 세포 모두에서 가장 높은 세포독성 효과를 보여 85% aq. MeOH 분획물에 활성물질이 함유되어 있을 것으로 기대되고 본 연구 결과를 기초자료로 하여 향후 참돔의 다양한 생리활성 규명이 필요하다고 사료된다.

The present study assessed the effect of calmodulin antagonists trifluoperazine and W-7 against the cytotoxicity of $MPP^+$ and 6-bydroxydoparnine (6-OHDA) in relation to the mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death in PC12 cells. Trifluoperazine (an inhibitor of the mitochondrial permeability transition and calmodulin antagonist) and W-7 (a specific calmodulin antagonist) significantly attenuated the $MPP^+-induced$ cell viability loss in PC12 cells with a maximum inhibition at $0.5{\sim}1{\mu}M$; beyond these concentrations the inhibitory effect declined. Both compounds at this concentration range did not cause cell death significantly. In contrast to $MPP^+$, the trifluoperazine and W-7 did not depress the cytotoxic effect of 6-OHDA. Addition of trifluoperazine and W-7 inhibited the cytosolic accumulation of cytochrome c and caspase-3 activation in PC12 cells treated with $MPP^+$ and attenuated the formation of reactive oxygen species and the depletion of GSH, whereas both compounds did not reduce the effect of 6-OHDA. The results show that trifluoperazine and W-7 may attenuate the cytotoxicity of $MPP^+$ by inhibition of the mitochondrial permeability transition and calmodulin. Meanwhile, the cytotoxic effect of 6-OHDA seems to be mediated by the actions, which are different from $MPP^+$.

In order to elucidate the cytotoxic effect of oxygen radicals on cultured spinal dorsal root ganglion(DRG) neurons derived from mouse. the neurotoxic effect of oxygen radicals w as examined after cultured DRG neurons were exposed to xanthine oxidase(XO) and hypoxanthine(HX)-oxygen radical generating system. In addition. neuroprotective effect of epidermal growth factor(EGF) against oxidant-induced neurotoxicity was also evaluated in these cultures. The results were, as follows: 1. Lethal concentration 50(LC$_{50}$) was 35mU/ml XO and 0.1mM HX in cultured DRG neurons. 2. Oxygen radicals induced the morphological changes such as the decrease of cell number and loss of neurites in these cultures. 3. EGF increased the cell viability and neurofilament in neurons damaged by oxygen radicals. From above the results, it is suggested that oxygen radicals have a cytotoxic effect on cultured DRG neurons of neonatal mouse and selective neurotrophic factors such as EGF are, effective, in blocking the neurotoxicity induced by oxygen radicals in cultured spinal DRG neurons.

Active fraction, $P_2$, was Isolated from natural anti-cancer drug, $CP_2$, by HPLC. We confirmed that $P_2$ includes most of the Isoguanosine and minor components, Berberine and other protoberberine alkaloids, by $^1H-NMR$ and $^{13}C-NMR$ and measured tile cytotoxicity of $P_2$ against various tumor cell-lines.' $P_2$ was very effective to all tumor cell-lines, especially to human colon cancer SNU-C2A$(ED_{50};\;24{\mu}g)$ and liver cancer HEP-3B$(ED_{50};\;27{\mu}g)$.

Methanol extracts of five Berberidaceae species were examined against tissue factor inhibitory and tumour cell growth inhibitory activity. Methanol extracts of Berberis koreana Palibin showed a strong cytotoxicity activity against SK-MEL-2 (Melanoma) tumour cell lines with more than 90% in $25{\mu}g/m\ell$ and against A549 (Lung carcinoma), SK-OV-3 (Ovarian cancer), XF498 (CNS cancer) and HCTl5 (Colon cancer), other Berberidaceae species except B. koreana species have no effect on the tumour cells. Biologically active compound, therefore, was isolated through the activity guided fractionation and purification. The structure was confirmed by NMR. FT-IR and MS to 2-(3,4-dihydroxybenzyl)-ethyl alcohol. It showed cytotoxicity activity against SNU-C4 tumour cell lines with 50.7% in $50{\mu}g/m\ell$. Methanol extracts of 5 Berberidacae species have no effect on the tissue factor inhibitory activity.

The object of thes research is to lucidate the clinical effects of Gami-Cheongshimyeonjayeum on the anti-allergic and gimmune response to rats and mice. The obtaind results of Gami-Cheongshimyeonjayeum administration are as follows : 1. The cytotoxic index increased slightly at over concentration $1{\times}10^{-2}/ml$, but it is thought that the cytotoxic effect show no significant value under the concentration $1{\times}10^{-3}/ml$. 2. Gami-Cheongshimyeonjayeum water extract seems to suppress the leakage volume of Evans blue to decrease the vascular permeability. 3. Gami-Cheongshimyeonjayeum show the inhibitory effect of footpad edema. 4. Protein leakage is inhibited by the administration of Gami-Cheongshimyeonjayeum. 5. The delayed type hypersensitivity to SRBC is suppressed at the 24hours after the administration of Gami-Cheongshimyeonjayeum on the experimental group 1, 2. 6. Hemolysin and hemagglutinin titer, and RFC increase to bulid up the immune function.

The present investigation was under taken to study whether the tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) of Daltons lymphoma (DL), a spontaneous transplantable murine T cell lymphoma can be activated to tumoricidal state by crude thymus extract. Intraperitoneal administration of thymus extract to DL-bearing mice resulted in activation of TAM with an enhanced IL-1, TNF and antigen presenting ability. It was found that treatment with thymus extract could also enhance the phagocytic and cytotoxic activity of TAM. However, only a marginal increase in arginase activity was observed. Till date to the best of our knowledge the effect of crude thymus extract on the activation of tumor associated macrophages has not been investigated, this study provides a new piece of information in the area of thymus therapy.
