많은 식물들은 부작용이 적고, 가격이 저렴하며, 다양한 웰니스 융복합 화합물들을 함유하고 있기 때문에 다양한 제재에 이용되고 있다. 이 연구에서 뉴질랜드 식물인 Quintinia acutifolia (Q. acutifolia)로부터 쥐 백혈병 세포(P388 murine lymphocytic leukemia cells)의 성장을 저해하는 활성을 MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)- 2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide] assay에 의해 평가하였다. P388 murine lymphocytic leukemia 세포의 성장을 저해하는 2,3,2'',3''-tetrahydroochanaflavone (1)과 2'',3''-dihydroochana-flavone (3)을 1D/2D-NMR와 다른 분광학적 분석법에 의해 분리하였고, 구조를 규명하였다. 이 두 화합물은 두 개의 플라보노이드 기본구조를 갖는 바이플라보노이드 (biflavonoid)로써 2,3,2'',3''-Tetrahydroochnaflavone (1)과 2'',3''-dihydroochana-flavone (3) 화합물은 P388 murine lymphocytic leukemia세포에 대해 50%의 성장저해를 나타내는 농도가 각각 $8.2{\mu}g/mL$와 $3.1{\mu}g/mL$로 나타났다. 특히 2'',3''-dihydroochana-flavone (3) 화합물은 2,3,2'',3''-tetrahydroochanaflavone (1)의 B 링(ring)에 쌍으로 결합되지 않은 플라본 구조 (unconjugated flavonone system)를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 그럼으로 두 화합물은 향후 항암 치료제 개발에 이용될 수 있으며, 더 많은 연구가 요구된다.

To compare skin irritation and cytotoxicity of anti-wrinkle agents, we examined skin irritation of six anti-wrinkle agents (ascorbic acid, glycolic acid, all trans-retinoic acid, ginseng extract, retinol, EB) in New Zealand white rabbit. Cytotoxicity of these agents was determined by MTT [tetrazolium salt 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] at multi-time points in cultured HaCaT cell, a human immortalized keratinocyte cell. We then analyzed correlation between skin irritation and cytotoxicity by spearman's rank correlation analysis. All trans-retinoic acid showed the highest primary irritation index (0.92) in skin irritation test. Being all the six agents not irritant, retinal showed the most cytotoxic agents. The correlation between skin irritation and cytotoxicity ($IC_{50}$/ at different time point was 0.814, 0.757, 0.814 and 0.7 at 3, 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively. We also fecund that IC$_{20}$ and IC$_{80}$ of these agents showed similar correlation with skin irritation. These results therefore demonstrated that there is close correlation between skin irritation and cytotoxicity $IC_{50}$/ value by MTT in HaCaT cell at early time points by anti-wrinkle agents or IC$_{20}$ value. $IC_{50}$/ at earily time point or IC$_{20}$ values may be reliable alternative determinant of skin irritation.n.

The antimutagenic and cytotoxic activities of ethanol and water extracts from Rubus coreanum were investigated in this study. Their antimutagenic activities were measured by the Ames test and their cytotoxic activities were evaluated by the growth inhibition of cancer cells via the 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. In the results, the inhibition rates of the ethanol and water extracts toward mutagenicity induced by 4-NQO were 95.0% and 93.6% at 5 mg/plate, respectively, while their inhibition rates against mutagenicity induced by sodium azide were 27.2% and 40.8%, respectively. According to MTT assay, the cytotoxicity values of the ethanol extract against Hep3B and HeLa cells were 67.2% and 68.5%, respectively, and the values for the water extract were 65.8% and 66.4%, respectively. In the SRB assay, the ethanol and water extracts inhibited over 60% of cancer cell growth. In conclusion, both the ethanol and water extracts of Rubus coreanum offer potentially good antimutagenic and anticancer effects.

In the present study, we have evaluated cytotoxic effects of Taraxaci Herba extract in human oral epitheloid carcinoma cells. An antitumor activity was measured by colorimetric assays using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and sulforhodamine protein B (SRB). The light microscopic study showed morphological changes, Ag-NOR (argyrophylic nucleolar organizer region) number and PAS positive reaction or the treated cells. These results obtained are as follows : MTT and SRB quantities were significantly decreased in cultured KB cells treated with 10$^{-2}$ /mg/ml and 10$^{-3}$ /mg/ml concentrations. The number of Ag-NORs were significantly decreased in cultured KB cells treated with 10$^{-2}$ /mg/ml and 10$^{-3}$ /mg/ml concentrations and the rate of Ag-NORs was shifted to left side (one Ag-Nounucleus was increased and five Ag-NORs/nucleus were decreased) by the high concentration. PAS reaction of cultured KB cells treated with 10$^{-2}$ /mg/ml and 10$^{-3}$ /mg/ml concentrations was negative. These results suggest that Taraxaci Herba retains a potential antitumor activity.

Compounds 1 - 12 were tested for their growth inhibitory effects against tumor cell lines using two different 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and sulforhodamine B protein (SRB) assays and antimicrobial activity. The cytotoxic activity of methyl-4-[{(2E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl}oxy]-3-methoxy benzoate (1) exhibit more active than that of 5-fluorouracil (11) on human oral epithelioid carcinoma (KB, ATCC No. OCL 17) cell lines. But this compound (1) on human skin melanoma (SK-MEL-3, HBT 69) cell lines shows less active than that of adriamycin (12). However, compound 9 showed the antimicrobial activity against S. epidermidis (MIC, 15.625 ㎍/㎖), S. aureus, C. albicans (MIC, 31.25 ㎍/㎖), S. mutans, S. typhimurium, P. putida (MIC. 125 ㎍/㎖) and P. aeruginosa (MIC, 500 ㎍/㎖).

Cannabidiol derivatives (1, 2 and 3), and 5-fluorouracil (4, 5-FU) were tested for their growth inhibitory effects against human oral epitheloid carcinoma cell lines (KB) using two different 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and sulforhodamine B protein (SRB) assay. These compounds showed a potent inhibitory activity in vitro in the micromolar range against KB cell lines. In general, the antitumor activity of these compounds (1, 2, 3 and 4) was in a dose-dependent over the micromolar concentration ranges from $1\;{\mu}M\;to\;100\;{\mu}M$. The comparison of $IC_{50}$ values of these compounds in tumor cell lines shows that their susceptibility to these compounds decreases in the following order: CBD > 5-FU > CBDME > CBDDE by the MTT assay and SRB assay. Cannabidiol derivatives (1, 2 and 3), and 5-FU were tested for their cytotoxic effects on NIH 3T3 fibroblasts using two different MTT assay and SRB assay. These compounds exhibited potent cytotoxic activities in vitro in the micromolar range against NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. In general, the cytotoxic activities of these compounds (1, 2, 3 and 4) were in a dose-dependent over the micromolar concentration range $1\;{\mu}M\;to\;100\;{\mu}M$. The comparison of $CD_{50}$ values of these compounds on NIH 3T3 fibroblasts shows that their susceptibility to these compounds decreases in the following order; CBD > 5-FU > CBDDE > CBDME by MTT assay, CBD > 5-FU > CBDME > CBDDE by SRB assay. These results suggest that cannabidiol (1, CBD) retains the most growth-inhibitory activity against KB cell lines.

발효 및 비발효 차가버섯 수용성 추출물이 정상 세포주 NIH3T3 mouse normal fibroblast cell 및 인체 종양 세포주 AGS human gastric cancer cell(위암), HCT-15 human colon cancer cell(대장암), Hep3B human hepatoma cancer cell(간암), MCF-7 human breast cancer cell(유방암), HeLa human cervical cancer cell(자궁경부암)에서 MTT(3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay 방법에 의한 세포 증식 억제와 암세포 증식억제의 기전 연구의 일환으로 apoptosis가 일어날 때 나타나는 DNA fragmentation을 agarose gel electrophoresis 방법으로 검토하였다. 인체 종양 세포주의 생육저해 효과가 발효 차가버섯 추출물이 비발효 차가버섯 추출물보다 강한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 동일한 실험조건하에서 마우스 정상 세포주 NIH3T3은 80% 이상의 생존율을 나타내어 정상 세포주에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 발효 및 비발효 차가버섯 추출물에서 본 실험에 사용한 세포주 중에서 대장암 세포주 HCT-15에 대해 가장 세포 증식 억제효과가 뛰어났으며, 이러한 효과는 첨가 농도 의존적 이였다. 발효 및 비발효 차가버섯 추출물에 의한 암세포 증식억제가 기전 연구로 apoptosis가 일어날 때 나타나는 DNA fragmentation을 세포로부터 genomic DNA를 분리하여 agarose gel electrophoresis 방법으로 조사한 결과, 정상세포인 NIH3T3 세포는 DNA fragmentation이 거의 일어나지 않아 세포 생존율 결과와 유사한 경향을 보였으나, 특히 대장암 세포주인 HCT-15에서는 발효 차가버섯뿐만 아니라 비발효 차가버섯 추출물에서도 DNA fragmentation이 많이 일어나는 것이 관찰되어 암세포 증식억제 효과가 높다는 결과를 뒷받침 해주고 있다.

This study was done to evaluate the antioxidant effect of oak hot water extracts on the oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The cytotoxicity of $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress was performed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay for the cell viability according to the dose-dependent treatment. Oak extracts demonstrated a dose-dependent ability to inhibit $H_2O_2$-induced apoptosis in cultured tenofibroblasts, as assessed by MTT assay and FACS analysis. $H_2O_2$ increased the phosphorylation of extracellular regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) and of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In contrast, treatment with oak extracts was decreased this activation of ERK1/2 and JNK, as confirmed by western blot analysis, and reduced the production of ROS, as verified by fluorescent microscopic and flow cytometry (FACS) analyses. These findings suggest that oak extracts, by suppressing JNK, ERK1/2, and intracellular ROS production, have a concentration-dependent antiapoptotic effect on achilles tenofibroblasts exposed to an oxidative stressor, and may have therapeutic potential.

Geranyl phenyl ethers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, 5-fluorouracil 6 and adriamycin 7 as references were tested for their growth inhibitory effects against tumor cell lines and NIH 3T3 fibroblasts using two different assays, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and sulforhodamine B protein (SRB) assays. These results suggest that methyl-4-[{(2E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl}oxy]-3-methoxy benzoate 1 showed growth inhibition activity against tumor cell lines. The maximum activity exhibited by methyl-4-[{(2E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl}oxy]-3-hydroxybenzoate 3 against Staphylococcus epidermidis (MIC, $1,000{\mu}g/ml$).
