Naesosan(NSS) has been used in Oriental Medicine as a drug that treated carbuncle and cellulitis. So, the purpose of this Study was to investigate effects of NSS on the cytotoxicity of cancer cell lines and lymphocytes in vitro, proliferation of Ll210 cells and lymphocytes in L1210 cells transplanted mice, improvement of blood count in Ll210 cells transplanted mice, tumor weight and body weight in sarcoma-180 cells transplanted mice, survival prolongation in sarcoma-180 cells transplanted mice. We used NSS extract with freeze-dried, 8wks-old male mice(balb/c and ICR mouse $18{\pm}2g$). Ll210 cell lines, and sarcoma-180 cell lines for this Study, The proliferation of cells was tested using a colorimetric tetrazoliun assay(MTT assay). The results of this Study were obtained as follows ; 1. NSS showed significantly cytotoxicitic effects of cancer cell lines, did not show cytotoxicitic effects of lymphocytes. 2, Proliferation of lymphocytes in L1210 cells transplanted mice did not effects by NSS. 3.

Taklihwangki-Tang was a drug that treated carbuncle and cellulitis. So, the purpose of this Study was to investigate effect of Taklihwangki-Tang on the anti-cancer and proliferation of immunocytes, nitric oxide(NO) production of peritoneal macrophages. We used Taklihwangki-Tang extract(THT) with freeze-dried, 8wks-old male mice and cancer cell lines(L1210, S-180) for this Study. The proliferation of cells was tested using a colorimetric tetrazoliun assay(MTT assay). The results of this Study were obtained as follow ; THT was showed cytotoxicity on the L1210 and S-180 cell lines, increased proliferation of thymocytes. And the combined effects of THT and vincristine were became cytotoxicity of cancer cell lines and increased significantly proliferation of thymocytes. THT accelerated proliferation of thymocytes in normal mice, and decreased significantly proliferation of L1210 cells and accelerated significantly NO production of peritoneal macrophages in L1210 cells transplanted mice. This results suggest that THT inhibit proliferation of cancer cells by becoming immunocytes activity(NO production, proliferation of T-cell).

A strongly cytotoxic fraction (Fc-2, ED50=0.0003$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) against L1210 cell was obtained from the root, seed and fruit of Trichosanthes kirilowii. Administration of Fc-2 prolonged the life span of the BDF1 mice bearing L1210 and the ICR mice bearing S-180 by 135%, and 130%, respectively. The Fc-2 affected L1210 cells were enlarged in their diameters two or three times in comparison with the untreated ones. When 20mg/kg of Fc-2 was administered, intraperitoneally, all the mice were killed.

Some coumarins were sythesized for the screening of their cytotoxic activities against L1210 cell. Of the conmarins sythesized, 6, 7-dihydroxycoumarin (esculetin) and 7, 8-dihydroxycoumain (dephnetin) as coumarins with dioxygenated A-ring, and 6-acetoxy-5, 7-dimethoxycoumarin and5, 7-dimethoxy-6-hydroxycoumarin as trioxygenated ones, show considerable cytotoxic activities, ED 50 being 4. 3, 8. 8, 17.2 and 5.5 $\mu$g/ml in the same other as the substances. THe extent oxygenation of the A-ring and the positions of the oxygen functions eventually play an important role for the cytotoxic activity.

The effects of polyacetylenes on living membrances, rat erythrocyte and murine leukemic L1210 cell as well as artificial lipid bilayer were determined to investigate the cytotoxic mechanism of polyacetylenes against cancer cell lines. As results, panaxydol and panaxynol caused erythrocyte hemolysis dose-dependently while panaxytriol had no lysis. For liposomes composed of phosphatidyl choline (PC) and phosphatidic acid(PA), all three polyacetylenes supressed the osmotic behavior at the same degree.

Forsythiae Fructus was studied on cytotoxic activities for the purpose of finding out active consituents against L1210 and HL60 cells. To isolate the active ones, the methanolic extract was partitioned into water insoluble and water soluble fractions. Furthermore, the water soluble fraction was fractionated into four parts, n-hexane, benzene, ethylacetate and water fractions. Among these, the water insoluble fraction showed the most potent cytotoxic activities on L1210 and HL60 cells in vitro. The water insoluble fraction was applied to silica gel column chromatography and divided into 5 fractions(fr. 1-5). The active constituents I and II were isolated from fr.2 and 3, respectively, by repeated silica gel column chromatography and recrystallization. The constituents were identified as 3${\beta}$-acetylbetulinic acid and betulinic acid by means of physicochemical data. The $ED_{50}$ values of 3${\beta}$-acetylbetulinic acid and betulinic acid were 9.10 and 16.43${\mu}g$/ml against L1210 cells and 2.72 and 2.41${\mu}g$/ml against HL60 cells, respectively.

As part of a research program to develope 3rd generation anti tumor platinum complexes, a series of platinum complexes which have 4, 5-bis-(aminomethyl)- 1, 3-dioxolane derivatives as bidenate amine ligands, represented by the general structual formula was prepared. The R$_1$ and/or R$_2$ substituents in this series of platinum complexes can be hydrogen. alkyl, of jointly formed cyclohexane. Two Xs can be a bidenate leaving ligand such as 1, 1-cyclobutanedicarboxylate, malonate, dimethylmalonate, ethylmalonate, glycolate, L-lactate, or N-methyliminodiacetate. From based on the pharmacological and toxicological studies, we have chosen SKI 2053R, cis-malonato[(4R, 5R)-4, 5-bis(aminomethyl)-2-isopropyl-1, 3-dioxolane] platinum(II) complex (NSC D644591) as a candidate for clinical evaluation. The antitumor activity of a new anti tumor platinum complex, cis-malonato [(4R, 5R)-4, 5-bis(aminomethyl)-2-isopropyl-1, 3-dioxolane] platinum(II) (SKI 2053R, NSC D644591), was compared with those of cisplatin and carboplatin using murine tumors. We evaluated three platinum complexes against L1210/CPR, a subline of L1210 leukemia resistant to cisplatin for their abilities to overcome tumor resistance to cisplatin. The in vitro cytotoxicity of SKI 2053R to L1210 cell line was 2.5-fold less potent thann that of cisplatin, and was 10-fold more cytotoxic than that of carboplatin. SKI 2053R retained similar cytotoxic effect and anti tumor activity to L1210/CPR cell line, like the cytotoxicity of SKI 2053R to L1210 cell line, while either cisplatin or carboplatin had not property to overcome the acquired cisplatin-resistance. SKI 2053R exhibited greater or comparable antitumor activity than cisplatin or carboplatin in murine tumor models.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of chestnut inner skin tea, brown rice-green tea and Cassia lora tea on the activation of physiological functions (regional cerebral blood flow, mean arterial blood pressure, proliferation of immunocytes in vitro and in vitro, suppression of cancer cell proliferation) in mouse and rat. We used 8 weeks-old balb/c male mice, 300g ICR rats and L1210 cell lines. Regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure(BP) were measured using Leser-Doppler Flowmetry(LDF) and the proliferation of cells was measured using a colorimetric tetrazolium assay(MTT assay). The experimental results are as follows : 1. rCBF was increased by Cassia tora tea, but decreased by chestnut inner skin tea in rats. 2. BP was increased by brown rice-green tea in rats. 3. Proliferation of mouse thymocytes and splenocytes were significantly increased by chestnut inner skin tea in vitro. 4. Proliferation of mouse thymocytes was decreased by Cassia tora tea and brown rice-green tea in vitro. 5. Proliferation of mouse thymocytes was decreased by Cassia tora tea and brown rice-green tea in L1210 transplanted mice. 6. Proliferation of splenocytes was accelerated by chestnut inner skin tea in L1210 transplanted mice. 7. Proliferation of L1210 cells was inhibited by chestnut inner skin tea and Cassia tora tea in L1210 transplanted mice.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the anticancer effects of Dojeokseungki-tang(DJSKT) on the various leukemia cell lines. DJSKT treatment suppressed proliferation of cultured-HL60, Jurkat, L1210 cells and increased apoptosis of cultured-L1210, HL60, Molt4, Jurkat cells. DJSKT treatment induced apoptosis of Jurkat cells including the morphologic changes such as the 'ladder pattern' revealed by agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA in a dose-dependent manner. Administration of DJSKT induced apoptosis of transplanted-L1210 cells in vivo, and decreased of mitochondrial transmembrane potential of L 1210 and Jurkat cells in vitro. DJSKT treatment reduced the expression of bcl-2 proteins in Jurkat cells and increased ICE, c-myc, p53 mRNA expression in Molt4 cells. In conclusion, these results suggest that DJSKT might be usefully applied for anti-carcinogenic agent of leukemia.
