Abstract

Ethanol extract of Cinnamomi cortex inhibited potently cholesterol esterase activity in vitro. Chloroform fraction of ethanol extract showed the stronger inhibitory effect than other solvent fractions - ethylacetate fraction, butanol fraction, and aqueous fraction. The chloroform fraction of Cinnamomi cortex was studied as a candidator of plasma cholesterol-lowering material using high cholesterol-fed rats. In high cholesterol-fed rats, the diet with chloroform fraction of 150 mg/kg lowered not only plasma neutral lipids contents 25.1% but also plasma total cholesterol level 49.6% than only high cholesterol diet. Plasma HDL-cholesterol level in Cinnamomi cortex chloroform fraction-fed rats was recovered as those level of normal rats. LD$_{50}$ of Cinnamomi chloroform extract was calculated as 1,300 mg/kg.

췌장에서 분비되는 콜레스테롤 에스터레이즈(pCEase)와 소장의 acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT)는 흡수된 콜레스테롤을 다시 ester화하는데 관여한다. 한방재료 중 순환촉진작용 및 건위작용 등을 가지는 계피(Cinnamomi cortex)의 에탄올 추출물이 in vitro에서 pCEase 활성에 대하여 강한 저해작용을 보였으며 에탄올 추출물의 용매분획 중 클로로포름분획이 다른 분획들, 즉 에틸 아세테이트분획, 부탄올분획 및 물 분획보다 저해활성이 강하였다. 계피의 클로로포름분획이 고콜레스테롤식 이를 섭취시킨 rat에서 혈중 콜레스테롤치를 저하시키는 효과가 있는지 측정한 실험에서 클로로포름분획을 150 mg/kg 섭취시켰을 경우 고콜레스테롤식이만은 투여한 대조군에 비하여 총cholesterol 함량이 25.1% 감소하였으며, HDL-cholesterol 함량도 33.4$\pm$1.82 g/dl로 정상군 수준으로 회복되었고 동맥경화지수 역시 현저하게 감소된 것으로 나타났다. 콜레스테롤 생합성에 관여하는 효소인 HMG-CoA reductase 활성을 측정한 결과, 고콜레스테롤 식이에 의해 감소되었던 활성이 계피 클로로포름분획의 투여량을 증가시킬수록 증가하였으나 150 mg/kg 투여군 에서도 정상군에 비하여 유의적인 감소를 보였다. 또한 계피 클로로포름분획의 독성검사 결과, mouse에서 LD$_{50}$ 은 1,300 mg/kg으로 산출되었다.
