The crude methanol extract of the fruits of Amomum tsao-ko (Zingiberaceae) showed cytotoxic activity. Bioactivity-guided separation led to the isolation of a diarylheptanoid, tsaokoarylone [7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-hepta-4E,6E-dien-3-one] (2). 2 showed cytotoxicity at 4.9 and 11.4 $\mu$g/mL ($IC_{50}$) against human nonsmall cell lung cancer A549 and human melanoma SK-Mel-2, respectively, determined by SRB colorimetric method. During purification-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-hydroxyhexan-2-one (4) together with three known diarylheptanoids was also isolated. Their structures were determined from interpretation of spectroscopic data (IR, UV, MS, and NMR) and synthesis confirmed the structure of 2.

Brine shrimp assay-guided fractionation and isolation of the EtOAc soluble fraction of Phryma leptostachya L. (Phrymacaceae) gave two active compounds, phrymarolin II (1) and ursolic acid (2), which were identified by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. Compound 1 exhibited potent lethality with $LD_{50}$ value of 0.0013 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, whereas 2 showed moderate lethality with $LD_{50}$ value of 27.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml against brine shrimp. The cytotoxic activities of 1 and 2 were also evaluated against one murine and five human cancer cell lines employing the sulforhodamin B (SRB) method. Compound 2 exhibited cytotoxic activity against L1210 and SK-MEL-2 cells with $ED_{50}$ values of 3.70 and 9.27 mg/ml, respectively, whereas 1 was devoid of any cytotoxic activity against all cancer cells tested.

활성산소의 하나인 과산화수소(hydrogen peroxide, $H_2O_2$)에 대한 세포독성과 이에 대한 연꽃수술(Nelumbo nucifera stamen, NNS)추출물의 항산화효과 및 멜라닌화에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 세포부착율 (cell adhesion activity, CAA)을 비롯한 티로시나제활성저해능 및 총멜라닌합성량을 분석하였다. 본 실험 결과 hydrogen peroxide($H_2O_2$)는 배양 인체피부흑색종세포 (SK-MEL-3)의 CAA를 유의하게 감소시킴으로서 세포독성효과를 나타냈다. 이에 대하여 NNS추출물은 $H_2O_2$의 산화적 손상에 의하여 감소된 CAA를 유의하게 증가시킴으로서 항산화효과를 나타냈다. 한편, $H_2O_2$에 대한 NNS추출물의 멜라닌화에 대한 영향에 있어서 NNS추출물은 $H_2O_2$에 의하여 활성화된 티로시나제활성과 총멜라닌합성량을 감소시킴으로서 멜라닌화에 대하여 억제효과를 나타냈다. 이상의 결과로 부터 $H_2O_2$는 배양 인체피부흑색종세포에 고독성을 나타냈으며 NNS와 같은 식물추출물은 $H_2O_2$와 같은 활성산소에 의한 산화적 손상 및 멜라닌화를 방어하는데 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

We investigated the anti-proliferative effects of a new compound. ircinin-1. from the sponge Sarcotragus sp. on SK-MEL -2 human skin cancer cells. From the data of MTT assay, cell viability was decreased by ircinin-1 in a dose-dependent manner. We observed that the anti-proliferative effect of ircinin-1 was due to the induction of apoptosis, which was confirmed by observing the morphological changes. the increased ratio of pro-apoptotic protein Bax to anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase protein, via activation of caspase-3.

한국산 고려 홍삼을 산 또는 알칼리로 가수분해하여, 여러가지 사포게닌과 프로사포게닌을 제조하였으며, 분광학적 데이터와 물리 데이터 등으로부터 이들의 화학 구조를 결정하였다. 이들 중 몇종의 분해산물은 A549, SK - OV. - 3, P388, L1210, SK - Mel - 2 및 K562 등의 암세포에 대하여 세포 독성을 나타내었다. Diol계와 triol계 모두 20번 탄소의 절대구조만이 다른 입체 이성체간의 세포독성의 차이는 인정되지 않았으며, diol 계의 물질들이 triol계 물질보다는 더 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 일반적으로 결합된 탄소의 수가 적을수록 세포독성은 강하여지는 경향??? 보였다.

A series of pyrazoloxyphenyl benzoyl urea derivatives was designed and synthesized for cytotoxic evaluation as potential antitumor agents. The synthetic compounds were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines, including A-549, SKOV-3, SK-MEL-2, XF-498 and HCT-15. Among others, compound 11 exhibited 50∼100 times greater antitumor activities than the commercial product, Cisplatin.

The cytotoxic and antitumor activity of 23,24-dihydrocucurbitacin D (dhc D) isolated from Bryonia alba L. was examined. Our results showed that dhc D strongly inhibited the viability of the cultured cancer cells, A-549, COLO 205, SK-MEL-2, and L121O. It also exhibited effective antitumor activity in ICR mice, which had been intra peritoneally implanted with sarcoma 180 ascites tumor cells. The dhc D also strongly inhibited the viability of immortalized macrophages RAW 264.7, but not normal peritoneal macrophages. These results indicate that dhc D has antiproliferative effect on cancer cells and it may more sensitive on immortalized cells than normal cells.

To observe the structure-activity relationship of lupane derivatives both on cytotoxic and antiangiogenic activity, twelve lupane derivatives were prepared; their antiangiogenic and cytotoxic activities were evaluated. Among them, four compounds were more cytotoxic than betulinic acid. Carboxylic acid at C28 seemed to be essential for cytotoxic activity. But, a selective cytotoxicity toward SK-MEL-2 was not observed. As for antiangiogenic activity, none of the compounds except lupeol showed antiangiogenic activity at 30 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL.

Objective : This study was designed to investigated effects of Gleditsia spina (GS) on human derived melanoma cells Methods : The genetic profile for the effect of medicine on human derived melanoma cells of SK-MEL-2, was measured by using microarray technique, and the functional analysis on these genes was conducted. The network of total protein interactions was measured by using cytoscape program. Results : Total 253 genes were up-regulated and 439 genes down-regulated in cells treated with GS. Genes induced or suppressed by GS were all mainly concerned with metabolic process, regulation of biological process and protein binding. Conclusion : Suggest the possibility of GS as anti-cancer drug and cosmetic agent, and also suggest that related mechanisms are involved in regulation of intra-cellular metabolism in melanoma cells.

Design and synthesis of novel 4-phenyl-1-arylsulfonylimidazolones 3 and 4-phenyl-3-arylsulfonylimidazolones 4 and evaluation of their cytotoxic activity against eleven human cancer cell lines and two murine leukemia cell lines in vitro were performed. As a result, a series of 4-phenyl-1(N)-arylsulfonylimidazolones (3) has been found to be the potential anticancer agent. Compounds 3b, 3c, and 3d exhibit strong activity as indicated by their $IC_{50}$ values 0.39, 3.19, $0.31{\mu}g/mL$ against A549 and 0.80, 0.48, $0.0007{\mu}g/mL$against SK-Mel-2, respectively. These compounds also possess much more potent activity (10-1000 times) than LY186641 against eleven other cell lines.
