식용 및 약용으로 이용되는 산초(Zanthoxylum schinifolium)의 줄기로부터 항암활성 성분을 분리하기 위하여, 산초 줄기를 유기용매로 추출하고 각 추출물의 인체 급성백혈병 암세포에 대한 독성 및 세포자살 유도 활성을 조사하였다. Methanol (SS-7), methylene chloride (SS-8), ethyl acetate (SS-9), n-butanol (SS-10)로 추출한 각 시료와 유기용매 추출 후 잔여분획 (SL-14)의 세포 독성을 인체 급성백혈병 Jurkat T 세포주를 대상으로 조사한 결과, 암세포에 대한 세포독성이 주로 methylene chloride 추출분획인 (SS-8)에서 확인되었다. Methylene chloride 추출물 (SS-8)의 Jurkat T 세포주에 대한 세포독성의 기전은 mitochondria로부터cytochrome c 방출, caspase-9 및 caspase-3의 활성화, PARP 분해, internucleosomal DNA fragmentation 등의 일련의 생화학적 반응을 수반하며, 항 세포자살단백질인 Bcl-xL단백질의 과발현에 의해 억제되는 세포자살 기전임을 확인하였다. FADD가 disruption된 Jurkat T cell clone I2.1 ($FADD^{-/-}$) 및 caspase-8가 결핍된 Jurkat T cell clone I9.2 (caspase-$8^{-/-}$)와 함께 the wild-type Jurkat T cell clone A3에 미치는 SS-8의 세포독성작용을 비교 분석한 결과, wild-type Jurkat A3, FADD-deficient Jurkat clone I2.1및 caspase-8-deficient Jurkat clone I9.2 모두는 SS-8의 세포독성에 대해 유사한 정도의 감수성을 나타내었다. 이는 SS-8에 의해 유도되는 apoptosis에 있어서, Fas/FasL system이 관계되지 않음을 시사한다. 한편, SS-8를 GC-MS 분석하여, 9,12-octadecanoic acid (18.62%), 2,4-dihydro-5-methyl-4-(1-methylethylidene)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)- 3H-pyrazol-3-one (14.97%), hexadecanoic acid (14.23%), (z,z)-6,9-pentadecadien-1-ol (13.73%), 5,6-dimethoxy- 2-methyl benzofuran (10.95%), 그리고 4-methoxy-2-methylcinnamic acid (5.38%) 등을 포함한 16가지의 구성 성분과 그 조성비를 확인하였다. 이상의 연구결과는 산초 줄기에 함유된 항암 활성에 대한 규명과 이해를 증진시킨다.

The anticarcinogenic effects of the methanol extracts from leek (buchu in Korean) kimchi and Korean cabbage kimchi were evaluated using cytotoxicity and transformation tests in C3H/10T1/2 cells. Various fractions of the 6-day fermented leek kimchi at 15$^{\circ}C$, hexane, methanol soluble, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, butanol and aqueous fraction, were also studied in the same system. The inhibitory effect of the leek kimchi(6-day fermented at 15$^{\circ}C$, pH 4.29) was higher than that of the Korean cabbage kimchi(4-day fermented at 15$^{\circ}C$, pH 4.21) on the cytotoxicity induced by 3-methylcholanthrane (MCA) in the C3H/10T1/2 cell system. While the MCA-treated culture(control) formed 21.0 foci of type II plus III in C3H/10T1/2 cells, 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of the methanol extract of the leek kimchi and that of the 4-day fermented Korean cabbage kimchi treated cultures reduced the formation of type II plus III foci to 7.4 and 11.3, respectively. Among the fractions of the leek kimchi, the dichloromethane fraction showed the highest inhibitory effect on MCA-induced cytotoxicity in C3H/10T1/2 cells. Fifty $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of dichloromethane fraction from the leek kimchi suppressed the MCA-induced cytotoxicity by 77%. On the transformation test using MCA, the dichloromethane fraction considerably reduced the formation of type II plus III foci, especially thpe III foci. When 50$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of dichloromethane fraction from the leek kimchi was treated, the numbers of type III foci mediated by MCA were decreased to 1.7 compared to 10 for the control. These results indicate that leek kimchi has stronger anticarcinogenic effects than Korean cabbage kimchi and that the dichloromethane fraction of the leek kimchi may contain the major compound(s) that suppress the carcinogenesis in the eukaryotic cells.

The anti-inflammatory effects of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) derived from Isaria sinclairii (IS) and of IS extracts were investigated in a complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-treated chronic arthritis rat model. Groups of rats were treated orally with 30 mg/kg one of the following: [1] saline control, extracts of [2] water-IS, [3] methanol-IS, [4] butanol-IS, [5] ethyl acetate-IS, or [6] Indomethacin(R) as the positive control for a period of two weeks. The anti-paw edema effects of the individual extracts were in the following order: water-IS ex. > methanol ex. > butanol ex. > ethyl acetate ex. The water/methanol extract from I. sinclairii remarkably inhibited UV-mediated upregulation of NF-${\kappa}B$ activity in transfected HaCaT cells. GAG as a water-soluble alcohol precipitated fraction also produced a noticeable anti-edema effect. This GAG also inhibited the pro-inflammatory cytokine levels of prostaglandin $E_2$-stimulated lipopolysaccharide in LAW 264.7 cells, cytokine TNF-${\alpha}$ production in splenocytes, and atherogenesis cytokine levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production in HUVEC cells in a dose-dependent manner. In the histological analysis, the LV dorsal root ganglion, including the articular cartilage, and linked to the paw-treated IS GAG, was repaired against CFA-induced cartilage destruction. Combined treatment with Indomethacin(R) (5 mg/kg) and IS GAG (10 mg/kg) also more effectively inhibited CFA-induced paw edema at 3 hr, 24 hr, and 48 hr to levels comparable to the anti-inflammatory drug, indomethacin. Thus, the IS GAG described here holds great promise as an anti-inflammatory drug in the future.

A systematic study was conducted to identify and isolate a serologically pertinent antigen with high specific activity and low cross reactivity from P.westermani antigen. Differential centrifugation of the homogenate yield three particulate and one soluble fractions ; the $480{\times}G$ pellet(Pw1), the $7650{\times}G$ pellet(Pw2) treated with n-butanol(Pw3), and $100000{\times}G$ supernatnat(Pw4). Comparison of antigenicity of these antigens, based upon differential centrifugation, to that of saline extract of P. westermani worm(SEP) was performed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblot techniques. The results obtained were as follows : 1) The ratio of absorbance value of ELISA against paragonimiasis positive pool sera to that of negative sera was highest when using Pw3 as antigen and that was lowest using Pwl. 2) Silver stained and SDS-PAGE of each antigen showed 34 and 13Kd band as common antigen band, but Pw2 didn't show clear band. 3) By immunoblot 55 and 34Kd bands using SEP and Pw4 showed strong positive reaction without cross reaction with sera from other helmenthic infections. Using Pw3, 10Kd band was observed as specific band. In conclusion, Pw3($100000{\times}G$ pellet urea soluble, treated with n-butanol) and Pw4($100000{\times}G$ supernatant) were usable for ELISA and immunoblot technique.

The cytotoxic effects of partially purified substances from Bacillus polylfermenticus SCD toward a variety tumor cell lines were studied. Cytotoxic activity was determined with regard to the A549 (human lung carcinoma), AGS (human stomach adenocarcinoma), DLD-1 (human colon adenocarcinoma), HEC-1-B (human uterus adenocarcinoma), SW-156 (human kidney carcinoma), and NIH/3T3 (murine normal fibroblast) cell lines using the MTT assay. Cytotoxic substances were partially purified through Diaion HP-20 columns and extracted with methanol or other organic solvents (n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, and butanol). B. polyfermenticus SCD supernatant showed up to 60% inhibition of cell viability fer all five human cancer cell lines tested. When treated with 10 mg/mL of n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, and butanol extract, HEC-1-B cells showed a 25,62,35, and 63% rate of inhibition respectively, and AGS cells showed a 72, 61, 44, and 67% rate of inhibition, respectively. At a concentration of 10 mg/mL, 100% methanol Diaion HP-20 extracts showed inhibition rates of 97.0% toward A-549 cells, 98.1% toward AGS cells, 81.6% toward DLD-1 cells, 83.5% toward HEC-1-B cells, and 92.7% toward SW-156 cells. These results indicate that partially purified fractions from B. polyfermenticus SCD have the potential to inhibit not only colon cancer cells, but also lung, stomach uterus, and kidney cancer cells. Further studies are needed to characterize the cytotoxic substances released in B. polyfermenticus SCD cultures.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the anti-proliferative effects of Ulmi Pumilae Cortex Extracts(UPCE) on MCF-7(human, breast, adenocaecinoma) and NIH3T3 (human, murine, fibroblast). Methods: MCF-7 cells and NIH3T3 cells were cultured and seeded in cell culture plates, respectively. UPC was extracted with hot water and then further fractionated it into five types: hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol, and water soluable fractions. These five different fractions from UPCE were tested for their anti-proliferative effects on MCF-7 cells and NIH3T3 cells by MMT assay. Results: Among the five solvent-fractions of UPCE, n-hexane fraction and ethyl acetate fraction showed a strong anti-proliferative effects on MCF-7 cells but they displayed significant cytotoxicity on NIH3T3 cells, too. On the other hand, chloroform fraction showed a marked anti-proliferative effects on MCF-7 cells and low cytotoxicity on NIH3T3 cells. Conclusion: Chloloform fraction from UPCE showed selective anti-cancer activities on human breast cancer cell MCF-7 relatively to the other fractions.
