Abstract

In order to search for insulin-like substances from the constituted herbs of Sogal prescriptions, we selected 19 traditional herbs, based on a review of the Donguibogam. The effects of the hot-water extract from the selected herbs on the proliferation and the differentiation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts were tested. The various water-extracts from Pinellia ternata, Magnolia obovata, Rheum palmatum, Acanthopanax sessiliflorun, Atractylodes japonica and Strychnos ignatii inhibited the proliferation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts, did not influence entirely in differentiation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts. Treatment of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts with the extract from Ephedra sinica, Trichosanthes kirilowii, Scrophularia buergeriana and Sophora flavescens significantly increased the differentiation of the cells. In conclusion, these may contain such compounds that play a role of insulin-like action.

동의보감의 소갈 처방에서 사용하고 있는 한약재 중에서 인슐린성 물질을 탐색하기 위해 3T3-L1 지방세포 모델을 이용하여 3T3-L1 섬유아세포의 증식 및 3T3-L1 지방세포의 분화에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 3T3-L1 섬유아세포의 증식율은 반하, 후박, 대황, 오가피, 창출과 보두의 열수추출물을 첨가하였을 때 세포의 분화작용에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 마황, 과루인, 현삼과 고삼의 추출물은 3T3-L1 섬유아세포의 분화를 촉진시켰으며, 이는 인슐린성 물질이 함유되어 있을 가능성이 높음을 시사하고 있다.
