The biological effects of the crude extracts from medicinal plants, Brachyglottis monroi and Trichocolea hatcheri were investigated. The crude ethanol extract inhibited the growth of the Gram positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 19659, 1 mm inhibition zone at $150{\mu}g/disc$) and the dermatophyte Trichophyton mentagrophytes (ATCC 28185, 6 mm inhibition zone at $150{\mu}g/disc$), and was toxic to P388 murine leukaemia cells ($IC_{50}$ $23.96{\mu}g/mL$ at $75{\mu}g/disc$). B. monroi ethanol extract showed stronger antiviral activity than that of T. hatcheri against Herpes simplex Type I virus (ATCC VR 733) and Polio Type I virus (Pfizer vaccine strain) (50% activity, @ 5 mg/ml at $150{\mu}g/disc$). The crude ethanol extract of T. hatcheri showed stronger antimicrobial activity than that of B. monroi. However, this extract was inactive against P388 murine leukaemia cells.

Some known coumarins, decursin, nodakenetin, umbelliferone, 7-demethylsuberosin, columbianetin, decursinol angelate and decursinol, showing significant cytotoxic activities against P388 cell lines,were isolated from the roots of Angelica gigas (Umbelliferae) . 7-Demethylsuberosin and columbianetinwere obtained from Angelica gigas for the first time. Chernotaxonornic difference about coumarins com-ponents between the roots of Angelica gigas and those of A. acutiloba is also discussed.

Seven flavonoid compounds, kaempferol (1), quercetin (2), quercetin-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (3), kaempferol-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (4), kaempferol-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnoside (5), quercetin-3-O-sophoroside (6) and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside (7), were isolated from the methanolic extract of leaves of Kalanchoe prolifera. Compounds 1-7 were isolated for first time from this plant. These compounds were evaluated their cytotoxic activity against P-388 murine leukimia cells in vitro. Among those compounds kaempferol (1) and quercetin (2) showed strongest cytotoxic activity with $IC_{50}$ values of $4.45{\pm}0.05$ and $6.28{\pm}0.02{\mu}g/mL$, respectively.

Protein-bound polysaccharides (PBP) were extracted from the mycellia of Lentinus edodes SR-1, and their anti-tumor activities and immunopotentiating properties were observed. The amounts of PBP needed to extend the doubling time twofold (1 unit) were found to be 1 mg for mouse leukemic cells $P_{388}\;and\;L_{1210}$; 4.4, 3.6 and 6.6 for bowel cancer cells, HCT-48, HRT-18, HT-29 respectively; and 2.6 mg for liver cancer cell, Hep G2. When $P_{388}\;and\;L_{1210}$ were treated with 4 mg of PBP, more than 90% of the cell number were reduced in 48 hours. However, 9 mg of PBP and 72 hrs of incubation time were needed to obtain the same effect for HRT-18, HT-29, and Hep G2. The significant reduction of cell size was observed as the amount of PBP and the incubation time increased. Mice spleen weight and plaque forming cell number increased when the cancer cells were treated with PBP.

A new flavonol derivative, meliglabrin (1) along with three known flavonols, ternatin (2), meliternatin (3), and 5,4'-dihydroxy-3,7,3'-trimethoxyflavon (4) were isolated from the leaves of Melicope glabra (Blume) T.G. Hartley. Their structures were determined using extensive spectroscopic methods, including UV, IR, HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR. Compounds 1 - 4 were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against murine leukemia P-388 cells, compound 4 showed moderate activity.

A series of 2-alkyl, 2-aryl, and 2-piperazinyl benzimidazole-4,7-dione derivatives (7a-h) and 16m-o) were prepared, and their cytotoxicities were tested against three cancer cell lines (mouse lymphocytic leukemia cell line P388, and human gastric carcinoma cell lines SNU-1 and SNU-16). These compounds showed potent cytotoxicity against all of three cell lines tested, and especially SNU-16 was sensitive to them. 2-Aryl (7g,h) and 2-piperazinyl benzimidazole-4,7-dione derivative (I6 m) were more potent than mitomycin C against P388 and SNU-16. Among benzimidazole-4,7-dione derivatives with alkyl group at position 2, 7a had the most potent cytotoxicity against all of the cell lines tested.

The diterpene acid 1 was isolated from the roots of Anisotome lyallii(Apiaceae/Umbelliferae). The structure of the compound was elucidated as anisotomenoic acid 1 on the basis of spectroscopic methods. This compound was evaluated against P388 murine leukaemia and B 16/F10 melanoma cells.

The effects of ethanol extract from Lepidolaena clavigera (L. clavigera) on antifungal activity were investigated. The crude ethanol extract of L. clavigera inhibited the growth of the Gram positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis ATCC 19659, (1 mm inhibition zone at 150 ${\mu}g/disc$) and the dermatophytic fungus Trichophyon mentagrophyes ATCC 28185, (2 mm inhibition zone at 150 ${\mu}g/disc$), and cytotoxic to P388 murine leukaemia cells ATCC CCL 46 P388D1, (IC50 >12,500 ${\mu}g/mL\;at\;150\;{\mu}g/disc$) and cytotoxic to BSC monkey kidney cells (@ 5 mg/mL, 150 ${\mu}g/disc$; ++: 50% activity). We suppose that this crude ethanol extract of L. clavigera is the antifungal activity.

The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the antitumor activity of different solvent fractions (ethanol, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, butanol and water) of the Auricularia auricula-judae 70% ethanol extract on the P388D1 macrophage and sarcoma 180 cells. A dose-dependent antitumor activity of each solvent fraction (from 0.01 mg/ml to 0.3 mg/ml) was shown against both cell types. These cytotoxic effects of all the tested fractions were confirmed on the MTT and SRB assays, without statistical differences each other. $IC_{50}$ value of dichloromethane fraction was 94.2 ${\mu}g/ml$ against sarcoma 180 cells lower than any other solvent fractions. The potent antitumor effect of the dichloromethane (DCM) fraction was also found against solid tumor in BALB/c mice. The splenomegaly and higher splenic index were found in tumor-bearing mice, with the DCM fraction returning to the negative control values. Thus, the results indicated the dichloromethane fraction may have potential ingredients as antitumor candidates.
