An extensive anticancer drug screening from natural resources has been carried out primarily using murine tumor model for past fourty years. Recently a new screening program from NCI, so called disease-oriented screening system. has been estabished to detect anticancer drugs that show selective growth inhibition toward variety of tissue specific human solid tumors originated from leukemia, lung, colon, CNS, melanoma, ovarian, renal, prostate amd breast. To develope the anticancer drugs from oriental medicinal herbs, we investigated the cytotoxic effects against human tumor cell panels with 23 kinds of MeOH extract of medicinal herbs. Evodiae Fructus, Meliae Toosendan Fructus, Saussureae Radix and Pharbitidis Semen showed strong activities against several tumor cell lines.

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) has been known to have peripheral actions as well as central actions. Recently physiological roles of 5-HT as a central neurotransmitter have been studied in detail and this is a subject of the present study. Plausible central actions mediated by 5-HT receptor seem to be a control of appetite, bring about psychiatric disorders such as anxiety or dementia, and migraine headache. In this study, thirty-five medicinal plants were tested for their antagonistic activities to 5-HT mediated actions. Through the preliminary screening, methanol extracts of three medicinal plants (Saussureae Radix, Sanguisorbae Radix and Xanthii Fructus) were shown to possess relatively specific antagonistic activities to 5-HT mediated ileal contraction over acetylcholine. To luther investigate the central antagonistic activities of the selected plant in vivo, m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) which is known to be a 5-H $T_{1c}$ receptor agonist was injected to mouse to induce an anxious and/or hypolocomotion states, and also social interaction test, which was based on the method described by File (S.E. File, 1980), was performed to see whether ethylacetate fraction of Sanguisorbae Radix methanol extract possessed a specific anxiolytic activity.y.

국내 유통 중인 한약재에 발암물질로 알려진 aristolochic acid 함유 여부를 검사하고자 방기, 목통, 목향, 마두령, 세신, 철목향 등을 대상으로 aristolochic acid 검출 유무 및 정량분석을 수행하였다. 시료에 대한 TLC와 $C_{18}$ column을 이용한 HPLC의 aristolochic acid 최적 분석 조건을 수립하였고 aristolochic acid 정량분석 결과 방기 type II에는 3.9 mg/g, 마두령에는 2.3 mg/g이 함유되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그외 목향, 목통, 세신, 청목향 등 시료에서는 aristolochic acid가 검출되지 않았다.

In this dissertation, I will focus on the channel entry, the effect and the treatment throughout books of oriental medicine from ancient to modern in order to classify the medicines of the Spleen as main or supplementary organ. The results are as follows: 1. The medicines which work on the Spleen(本臟) chiefly were 38, which were Gingseng Radix(人蔘), Astragali Radix, Hoelen, Atractylodis Rhizoma alba(白朮), Glycyrrhizae Radix(甘草), Atractyodis Rhizoma(蒼朮), Aurantii Nobilis Pericarpium(陳皮), Pinelliae Rhizoma(半夏), Nelumbinis Semen(蓮肉), Semen Euryacles, Crataegi Fructus, Dolichoris Semen(扁豆), Hordei Fructus Germinatus(麥芽), Dioscoreae Radix(山藥), Paeoniae Radix(白芍藥), Zingiberis Rhizoma(乾薑), Arecae Pericarpium(大腹皮), Cimicifugae Rhizoma(升麻), Aurantii Fructus(枳殼), Tiglii Semen(巴豆), Scirpi Rhizoma(三稜), Paeoniae Radix rubra(赤芍藥), Amydae Carapax(鱉甲), (Coptidis Rhizoma(黃連), Dioscoreae Radix(萎藥), Amomi Semen(砂仁), Zingiberis Rhizoma(生薑), Saussureae Radix(木香), Cinnamomi Cortex Spissus(肉桂), Myristicae Semen, Alpiniae Fructus(益智仁), Evodiae Fructus(吳萸), Caryophylli Flos(丁香), Agastachis Herba(藿香), Fructus Piperis Nigri Seu Albi(胡椒), Acontii Tuber(附子), Alpiniae Officinari Rhizoma(良薑), Fructus Galangae. 2. The medicines which work on the other viscera(他臟) chiefly were 12, which were Talcum(滑石), Bupleuri Radix(柴胡), Semen Lepidii Seu Descurainiae, Mori Cotex Radicis(桑白皮), Aurantii lmmaturi Pericarpium(靑皮), Gardeniae Fructus(梔子), Forsythiae Frucus(連翹), Antelopis cornu(羚羊角), Alimatis Rhizoma(澤瀉), Epimedii Herba(仙靈脾), Cyperi Rhizoma(香附子), Rhizome Chuanxiong(川芎). 3. medicines, effected on the Spleen functioned through any other viscera were as follows: Talcum(滑石) works to treat renal heat Entering the Spleen(腎熱入脾) Bupleuri Radix(柴胡) works to treat Hepatic Asthenia Entering the Spleen(肝虛入脾) Semen Lepidii Seu Descurainiae and Mori Cotex Radicis(桑白皮) works to treat Pulmonary gi Entering the Spleen(肺氣入脾) Aurantii lmmaturi Pericarpium(靑皮) works to treat Hepatic gi Entering the Spleen(肝氣入脾) Gardeniae Fructus(梔子) and Forsythiae Frucus(連翹) works to treat Cardiac Heat Entering the Spleen(心熱入脾) Antelopis cornu(羚羊角) works to treat Hepatic wind Entering the Spleen(肝風人脾) Alimatis Rhizoma(澤瀉) works to treat Hepatic heat Entering the Spleen(肝熱入脾) Epimedii Herba(仙靈脾) works to treat Renal asthenia Entering the Spleen(腎虛入脾) Cyperi Rhizoma(香附子) 와 Rhizome Chuanxiong(川芎) works to treat Hepatic gi Entering the Spleen(肝氣入脾) In the study of concerning the medicines effected on the spleen, It is considered that it dedicated to development of the medicines related to the spleen and making efficient use of the medicines.

Activation of the T lymphocytes results in a variety of early biochemical events ultimately leading to cell proliferation and lymphokine production. Stimulation of the signal transduction cascade in T cells through the T cell receptor coincides with activation of the phosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C (PI-PLC) pathway. Therefore, we have established a model system to screen immune-simulator that can increase the hydrolysis of phosphoinositides in human T cell leukemia Jurkat cells. As a result of screening from herbal medicine extract, 4 extracts (O1ibanum, Ephedrae Herba, Real Gar, Saussureae Radix) were found 14 increase the production of inositol phosphates. All the active fraction from the four kinds of extract were fluted in a different retention time on C-18 HPLC and these active fraction also showed difference in cell specificity. And all the active fractions increased DNA synthesis in T cell. Therefore, it is suggested that the active fraction among 4 extracts might contain a compound having different properties one another.

To screen the effective materials for hair loss treatment, several natural extracts were tested using in vivo and in vitro test models. Firstly, all test materials were applicated onto the back skin of C57BL／6 mouse and then hair growth pormoting effect were measured using hair growth index As a result, Polygonum muitifiorum Thunb and Terrninalia chebula Retz. showed potent hair growth promoting effect, ranking as 1.5-2.0 of hair growth index. However, there were no plant extracts, which have remarkable potential of growth promotion of human hair dermal papilla cells cultured in vitro. In the experiments of 5${\alpha}$-reductase type Ⅱ inhibition assay, Morus alba L., Chaenomelis Fructus, Saussureae Radix, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Polygonum multifiorum Thunb, and Angelica dahurica (Fischer) Bentham et Hooker f. showed effective potential to inhibit the activity of 5${\alpha}$-reductase type Ⅱ. To investigate the possible involvement of effects of several plant extracts on the gene expression of growth factors in human hair dermal papilla cells, RT-PCR analyses were performed. As a consequences, Mentha haplocalyx Briq., Cimicifuga foetida L., Eclipta prostrata (L.) L., Pinus densiflora S. et. Z, and Polygonum muitifiorum Thunb revealed the regulatory roles on the expression of growth factors such as IGF-I, KGF, HGF and VEGF in the dermal papilla cells. Another test for inhibition of microbial such as P. acne and P. ovale were also carried out to find whether these plant extracts have anti-microbial activities. Morus alba L. and Chaenomelis Fructus showed anti-microbial effects on Propionibacterium acnes, which is believed as a pathogen of acne. Together, these results showed several plant extracts can be used for hair growth promotion.
