Multilamellar liposomes were prepared from phospholipid, cholesterol and dicetyl phosphate and marked with potassium chromate or with glucose. They were treated with 0.5--50 haemolytic units (HU)/ml of rubescenslysin from Amanita rubescens or of phallolysin from Amanita phalloides. Rubescenslysin

Rubescenslysin, a haemolytic protein from Amanita rubescens, disrupted the cytoplasmic membrane of human leucocytes which were more sensitive than erythrocytes. In the isolated hearts of rats and guinea pigs it caused systolic contracture, which was preceded by potassium outflow and sometimes by a

Fumaric acid, isolated as the active component of Capsella bursa-pastoris herb for inhibiting the solid growth of Ehrlich tumor in mice, was found to reduce markedly the growth and viability of Ehrlich, MH134, and L1210 mouse tumor cells in culture at concentration of 0.3 approximately 1.2 mg/ml. In
