Exploitation of the biologically active components in Youngia sonchifolia Max

고들빼기 생리활성물질의 검색

Yongia sonchifolia Max. has been used as raw materials of traditional Kimchi and medicinal herb in Korea. This study was performed to investigate biologically active components in the plant. First, the writer carried out the experiment of antitumor screening test against Sarcoma-180A and the cytotoxic activity against Chinese hamster V-79 cells with methanol extract of the plant. And the aqueous solution of the extract from roots of Youngia sonchifolia Max. was partitioned into n-hexane. The concentrated extract of n-hexane layer was chromatographed on silica gel column and developed with n-hexane and ethylacetate. Two yellow elutes, on concentration, were recrystallized from ethylacetate, and the $R_f$ value of TLC of the crystal was 0.43. After analysis by $^{1}H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$ and MS to confirm the structure, the author could identify the compound as bauerenyl acetate, a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpene. The crystal was colorless plate and m.p. was $280{\sim}282^{\circ}C$.

우리나라 전지역의 산과 들에 야생하고 있는 고들빼기(Youngia sonchifolia Max.)는 전통식품인 고들빼기 김치의 원료로 이용될 뿐만 아니라 오래전부터 민간에서 위장장애 치료재로 이용되어 왔다. 그래서 고들빼기의 생화학적 활성 및 항암 실험과 그 특수성분을 분석하였는데 hexane 추출물 중에서 silica gel column chromatography와 재결정으로 얻어낸 화합물은 무색판상 결정으로 융점이 $280{\sim}282^{\circ}C$ 이었으며 구조결정을 위해 $^{13}C-NMR$, $^1H-NMR$, MS로 분석한 결과 pentacyclic triterpene인 bauerenyl acetate인 것을 확인하였다.
