For the search of anticancer compounds from natural products, 43 plants were extracted with benzene and methanol, separately, and the extracts were screened for the cytotoxicity against L1210 and HL60 cancer cell lines. From the results, 22 samples in benzene extracts showed cytotoxicity against L1210 cells and 23 samples against HL60 cells, respectively. However, any methanol extracts did not exhibit cytotoxicity against two cancer cell lines, it suggested that cytotoxic compounds seemed to have low polarity. $ED_{50}$ values less than $5\;{\mu}g/ml$ were observed in 14 and 9 samples in benzene extracts against L1210 and HL60 cancer cells, respectively.

For the research of cytotoxic natural products, 50 medicinal plants were extracted with benzene and methanol, separately, and screened against L1210 cells. From the results(Table I), 6 samples showed cytotoxicity both in benzene and methanol extracts of 17 samples in benzene extracts and 3 samples in methanol extracts, respectively. Generally, the cytotoxicity exhibited high frequency (34%) in benzene extract but low frequency in methanol extract (6%), it meant that active cytotoxic components had less polarity. $ED_{50}$ values less than $10\;{\mu}g/ml$ were observed in 17 medicinal plants.

The present investigation was undertaken to examine the anticancer activity of the methanol extract from Houttuynia cordata on ICR mouse with induced abdominal cancer and L1210 cancer cells. When the methanol extract of Houttuynia cordata (10∼200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$) was administered orally to ICR mouse with abdominal cancer, 47.8% of the best life prolonging effect was obtained. In case of cytotoxicity study (inhibition of cell proliferation) of Houttuynia cordata extract against L1210 cells, $IC_{50}$/ was found to be 62.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$. In contrast to such considerable toxicity against cancer cell line, the toxicity demonstrated by the identical extract against normal lymphocytes was very meagre as shown to be < 5% compared with 86.5% in case of L1210 cells at the same condition. To get an insight into the reaction mechanism undelying the anticancer activity, $O_2$ion quantity and antioxidant enzyme activities such as superoxide dismiutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) of L1210 cells in the presence of Houttuynia cordata extract were measured. The increased values of SOD and GPx enzyme activities in addition to the augmented generation of $O_2$ ion in L1210 cells implied that the reactive oxygen species induding $O_2$ion which were presumably induced by Houttuynia cordata extract might have participated in the process of L1210 cells cytotoxicity.

Twenty one phenylacetylshikonin analogues were synthesized from various subsitituted phenyl acetic acids and their cytotoxicity values against A549, K562 and L1210 cell lines and antitumor action in mice bearing S-180 cells were measured. All of phenylacetylshikonin analogues expressed a potent cytotoxicity $(ED_{50}, 0.1-1.80{\mu}g/ml)$ against L1210 and K562 cells. L1210 cells were the most sensitive to shikonin analogues among these cells. Except 4-methosyphenylacetylshikonin $(0.098 {\mu}g/ml)$, and a-acetoxyphenylacetylshikonin $(0.10 {\mu}g/ml)$, all other shikonin derivatives sshowed higher $ED_{50}$ values than phenylacetylshikonin $(0.13{\mu}g/ml)$, in L1210. In K562 cell, a-substitution of phenylacetylshikonin $(0.1{\mu}g/ml)$, while other subsitutions increased it slightly; 4-methoxyphenylacetylshikonin $(0.033{\mu}g/ml)$ showed a exceptionally good cytotoxicity against K562 cell. 4-Halogenation tended to decrease the cytotoxic effect on L1210 cells, while it enhanced the effect on K562; 4-bromophenylacetyl $$[ED_{50};(L1210)=1.76{\mu}g/ml, ;ED_{50};(K 562)=0.32 {\mu}g/ml]$$ and 4-chlorophenylacetyl shikonin $$[ED_{50};(L1210)=1.64 {\mu}g/ml, ;ED_{50};(K562)=0.32 {\mu}g/ml]$$. In contrast, A549 cells were much less sensitive to these shikonin analogues which showed $ED_{50}$ values of$1.5-1.35 {\mu}g/ml)$.Most of phenylacetylshikonin derivatives showed good antitumor activity in mice bearing S-180 cells. a-A-cetoxyphenylacetylshikonin and 4-dimethylaminophenylacetylshikonin showed highest T/C value (192-195%), implying that introduction of a-acetyl or of 4-dimethylamino group enhanced the antitumor activity as shown for 4-dimethylaminophenylacetylshikonin (T/C, 192%). It might be due to improvement of water solubility by dimethylamino group in the molecule.

A cytotoxic sesquiterpene against L1210 cell has been isolated from the root of Curcuma domestica. Its structure was identified as ${\beta}-sesquiphellandrene$. The cytotoxicity-potentiating substance was (+)-ar-turmerone. (+)-ar-Turmerone potentiated the cytotoxicity of ${\beta}-sesquiphellandrene$(5 fold in $ED_{50}$ value) and an unknown sesquiterpene which was isolated from the root as well, and that of aurapten(6.3 fold) isolated from the unripe fruit of Poncirus trifoliata. Moreover, it potentiated the cytotoxic activities of MeCCNU 10 fold and cyclophosphamide 10 fold. Except the fact that all the effective cytotoxic substances possess relatively good lipophilicity, no relationship between structures of the cytotoxic substances and the cytotoxicity-enhancing effect of (+)-ar-turmerone could be observed.

This study was performed to investigate the mechanism of in vitro cytotosic actions of polyacetylenes which are panaxydol, panaxynol and panaxytriol isolated from Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer. DNA synthesis of L1210 cells was significantly inhibited with dose dependent pattern when L1210 cells were treated for 1 hour with over 5 .mu.g/ml of polyacetylenes. Panaxydol which had the most potent cytotoxicity among three polyacetylenes showed also the strongest inhibitory effect on DNA synthesis. Intracellular cyclic AMP levels of L1210 cells treated with 2.5 $\mu$g/ml of panaxydol or panaxytriol were significantly elevated on the incubation duration. The elevation of cyclic AMP levels by panaxytriol was higher than that by panaxydol, but no significant increase in cyclic AMP by panaxynol was observed. All three polyacetylenes had no effect on glycolysis of L1210 cells. Electron microscopic observations revealed that polyacetylenes caused damage to plasma membranes of L1210 cells in proportion to their cytotoxicities at each $ED_{50}$ value (panaxydol > panaxynol> panaxytriol). These results suggest that cytotoxicities of polyacetylenes against L1210 cells might be mediated by elevated cyclic AMP level, even though the relationship among their cytotoxicities, inhibitory effect on DNA synthesis and ability to elevation of cyclic AMP level are not fully agreed, and might be also related to membrane damage.

SD-994 was prepared from methanol extract of Artemisia argyi by stepwise purification of solvent partioning and silica gel chromatography. In the course of this purification, fractions obtained at each step were investigated for their cytotoxicities against L1210 cells. Fractions A~G prepared from chloroform fraction showed considerable cytotoxicities raging 40~90% against L1210 cells. Subfractions I~IX obtained from fraction A exhibited various cytotoxicities and subfraction I (SD-994) was found to be the most effective compound. $IC_{50}$ values of SD-994 were measured to be $0.5{\;}{\mu\textrm{g}}/ml and less than $0.05{\;}{\mu\textrm{g}}/ml against L1210 cells and normal lymphocytes, respectively: When SD-994 was added to L1210 cell as cytotoxic agent, significantly increased amount of superoxide ($O_2^-$) and dramatically augmented activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), specially MnSOD and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were observed according to the concentration and incubation time. Whereas, in case of normal lymphocytes under the same condition, cytotoxicities were not apparent and the generation of superoxide ($O_2^-$) or the activity changes of SOD and GPx were insignificant. These results together indicate that the cytotoxic action of SD-994 against L1210 cell may be achieved via necrosis and/or apoptosis induced by reaction oxygen species which could not probably be completely abolished even by drastically increased antioxidant enzymes, SOD and GPx activities.

These experiments were investigated effects of the cell death of glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) on transplanted-L1210 cells in BALB/c mice. The GA suppressed the proliferation of L121 0 cells in vivo and in vitro system. The administration of GA induced apoptosis of transplanted-L1210 cells via the reduction of mitochondrial transmembrane potential in mice. The GA enhanced the production of nitric oxidation in peritoneal macrophages obtained from L1210 cells-transplanted mice. The apoptosis of L1210 cells were induced by co-culture of the macrophages obtained from GA administered mice and L1210 cells in vitro, and was partly inhibited by the treatment of L-NMMA. These results suggest that GA induces the cytotoxicity and the apoptosis of transplanted-L1210 cells via the production of nitric oxide in peritoneal macrophages.
