Abstract:
PURPOSE: A composition containing as an active ingredient, α(1,6)-heteroglycan and galactomannoglucan is provided. The composition selectively exhibits cytotoxicity to lung cancer cells and is thus used as a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of lung cancer. CONSTITUTION: The pharmaceutical composition contains α(1,6)-heteroglycan and galactomannoglucan having a molecular weight of 153,000 daltons as immunologically active polysaccharides. The α(1,6)-heteroglycan(Mesima) and galactomannoglucan(Mesima PL-2) are obtained by extracting and purifying the mycelium of Phellinus linteus(KCTC 0173BP) and (KCTC 0399BP). The effective dose of the Mesima and Mesima PL-2 is 10 to 25mg/kg.
