RESUMEN
Owing to their unique mechanism of action, marine antineoplastic compounds have been got more and more attention and the study of marine antineoplastic drugs is becoming a focus now. The development in the study of marine antineoplastic drugs was summarized in this paper.
RESUMEN
Complement activation induces polymorphonucleal neutrophilic leukocyte (PMN) aggregation in circulation causing microvascular occlusion. The activated PMNs release lysosome enzymes which damage the tissue. It might take an important part in shock and multiple organ failure. We pre-treated rat PMNs with sinomeuine, which was extracted and purified from the stem of Sinomeuium acufum Rehd et Wils. It was found to inhibit the morphological changes and lysosome enzymes release in PMNs activated with zymosanactivated plasma. With administration of sinomeuine PMNs remained a spherical shape, no apparent ruffling or cytoplasmic projection and less aggregation. Elastase and Nacetyl-?-D-glucosaminidase content in PMNs supernatant increased less.
