Seven compounds were isolated from the n-BuOH soluble fraction of stem of Rhododendron mucronulatum as cytotoxic principles against brine shrimp lethality test. On the basis of spectral data, seven compounds were identified as (-)-catechin (1), (+)-epicatechin (2), taxifolin (3), scopoletin (4), quercetin (5), $taxifolin-3-O-{\alpha}-L- arabinopyranoside$ (6), and astragalin (7). Among tested compounds, $taxifolin-3-O-{\alpha}-L-arabinopyranoside$ (6) exhibited potent activity with $LC_{50}$ value at 4.6 ${\mu}g/ml$.

Quercus salicina has been widely used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases. In macrophages, nitric oxide (NO) is released as an inflammatory mediator and has been proposed to be an important modulator of many pathophysiological conditions in inflammation. In the present study, the inhibitory effect of methanolic extracts of Q. salicina (QSM) on NO production in LPS-stimulated mouse (C57BL/6) peritoneal macrophages was investigated. QSM suppressed NO production without notable cytotoxiciy. QSM also exhibited down-regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression via attenuation of NF-${\kappa}B$ translocation to nucleus in rIFN-${\gamma}$ and LPS stimulated mouse peritoneal macrophages. The present study strongly suggest that Q. salicina may be beneficial in diseases which related to macrophage-mediated inflammatory disorders.

A series of 2-(1-hydroxyiminoalkyl)-1,4-dimethoxy-9,10-anthraquinones (oximes) was synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity against L1210 cells and A549 cells. These oximes showed a greater cytotoxic activity compared to those of 2-(1-hyd roxyalkyl)-1,4-dimethoxy-9,10-anthraquinones as the hydroxyalkyl bioisosteres. The enhanced cytotoxiciy assumed to be due to the improved water solubility of the hydroxyimino group. Moreover, it was found that the cytotoxicity of the oximes decreased with elongation of alkyl groups at the side chain. All of the synthesized compounds showed higher cytotoxicity against L1210 cells than A549 cells.

As part of a drug discovery program to discover more effective platinum-based anticancer drugs, a series of platinum complexes of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane(1,2-diaminopro pane)platinum(II)dinitrate (KHPC-070) has been evaluated in vitro against various tumor cell lines and normal kidney cells. The structure of this new compound was determined by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy (IR) and $^{13}carbon$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). With the use of nine tumor cell lines, KHPC-070 exhibited a comparable cytotoxic to cisplatin. The cytotoxicity of KHPC-070 in normal cells was quite less than that of cisplatin using 3-(4.5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and [$^3H$]-thymidine uptake tests in rabbit renal proximal tubular cells and human renal cortical cells. Based on these results, KHPC-070 is considered to have more selective cytotoxicity toward cancer cells than normal human/rabbit kidney cells.

In this experiment, we examined the the effect of Laetrile Oil to the immune system and tried to disclose the anti-cancer mechanism of this. The result is listed as below. 1. After per-os, sub-cutaneous and into the peritoneal injection of Laetrile Oil to the SPF mice, the LD50 is above 5000mg/kg at even group. 2. Mean survival days of mice treated with laetril oil, after S-180 cells transplantation into the peritoneal cavity decreases 1.5 days(-6.8%) compared with the Mean survival days of the control group(22days.) 3. Effects of laetril oil on natural killer cell activity at Effector/Target Cell Ratio with 100:1, 50:1, 10:1 into methotrexate-pretreated mice is like this.: Compared with $29.22\pm12.7\%$ Cytotoxicity of the control group, sample group's Cytotoxicity had $38.83{\pm}12.5%$ of meaningful acrease. At 100:1 Effecr/Target Cell Ratio. At 50:1 Effector/Target Cell Ratio, control group has $20.02{\pm}9.6%$ Cytotoxiciy and sample group had $31.53{\pm}13.4%$ Cytotoxicity. At 25:1 Effector/Target Cell Ratio control group has $13.60{\pm}6.6%$ Cytotoxicity and sample group had $20.81{\pm}9.8%$ Cytotoxicity According to the above results, the Laetrile Oil represents nontotoxic to a SPF mice. non-effective to transplantable Sarcoma 180 tumors, and activaion in NK cell activity.

소프트 콘택트렌즈용 합성 보존제로서 시중에 널리 알려진 B사의 R제품과 천연 보존제인 나린진이 가토안의 각막 상피와 내피에 미치는 영향을 주사전자현미경을 통하여 관찰하였다. 나린진의 주성분은 자몽씨 추출물로서 이는 항산화를 일으키는 Flavonoid의 구성성분 중 하나로 식품과 화장품의 보존제로서도 이미 많이 사용되고 있다. 합성 보존제의 독성은 배양된 세포에서 MTT 분석과 LDH leakage 분석을 통하여 발표된 바는 있으나 가토안의 각막에 합성 보존제와 천연 보존제를 직접 안구에 투여하여 관찰한 예는 없었다. 이에 본 연구는 가토안의 각막에 일주일간 천연보존제인 나린진과 합성 보존제인 B사의 R제품을 안구에 각각 투여한 다음 Rose bengal staining 후, 광학카메라를 통하여 독성을 관찰 하였으며 안구를 적출하여 처리 후, 주사전자현미경을 통하여 각막상피와 내피의 손상정도를 형태학적으로 분석하였다.

구강악안면외과 영역의 전암병소와 종양의 치료를 위하여 국소적으로 ALA, 전신적으로 Forscan의 광감각제를 도포하거나 주입하여 기능적, 심미적으로 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 아직 장기적인 추적조사가 요구되지만 광역학 요법은 기존의 수술법, 항암요법, 방사선치료와 함께 종양의 새로운 치료방법으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
