Separation and Identification of a Growth Inhibiting Compound from Aralia continentalis

독활(Aralia continentalis)로부터 생장억제물질(生長抑制物質)의 분리(分離) 및 동정(同定)

This experiment was performed to identify and isolate a growth inhibiting compound from Aralia continentalis. In order to isolate the growth inhibiting compound from Aralia continentalis the bioassay test of lettuce seed germination and rice seedling growth were used. Through these bioassays the growth inhibiting compound which was spotted at $R_f$ 0.51 on Tlc was isolated. This compound inhibited the lettuce growth by 79% at the concentration of 1000ppm. When sprayed with $FeCl_3$ reagent, it developed a bule spot. It had UV-absorbance at 217 nm and 342 nm, and $OH^-$ of $3600cm^{-1}$, C=O of $1700cm^{-1}$, C=C of $1600cm^{-1}$, and C-O of $1200cm^{-1}$ on IR spectrum. Through HPLC analysis this compound was identified as a ferulic acid ($C_{10}H_{10}O_4$) having 25 min. retention time.

상치의 생물검정(生物檢定)을 통(通)해 독활로부터 생장억제물질(生長抑制物質)을 분해(分解) 동정(同定)한 결과(結果) Tlc상에서 $R_f$ 0.51로 나타났으며 이 물질(物質)은 상치생체중(生體重)을 70% 억제(抑制)하였으며 3% $FeCl_3$(0.5N HCL) 시약(試藥)에 검푸른 반응(反應)을 보여 phenol성(性) 물질(物質)로 확인(確認)되었고 324nm에서 가장 높은 UV 흡수대가 나타났고 IR spectrum에서 $3,600cm^{-1}$에서 OH기, $1,700cm^{-1}$에서 C=0, $1,600cm^{-1}$에서 C=C, $1,200cm^{-1}$에서 C-0결합(結合)이 확인(確認)되었다. HPLC에 의한 동정(同定) 결과(結果) retention time 25분(分)대의 ferulic acid($C_{10}H_{10}O_4$)와 일치(一致)하여 독활의 주(主) 억제물질(抑制物質)이 ferulic acid임을 확인(確認)하였다.
