Abstract

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously produced at a high rate as a by-product of aerobic metabolism. Several lines of evidence provided that ROS appears to cause to develop aging and various diseases. High level of hyaluronic acid with decreased molecular weight has been detected in patients with inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, we have conducted to investigate the antioxidant and hyaluronidase inhibitory activities of Prunus persica Batsch var. davidiana Maximowicz in order to screen the bioactive substances which can be developed as possible anti-inflammatory agents. Among the extracts of Prunus persica Batsch var. davidiana Maximowicz, EtOAc extract exhibited the strongest effect on antioxidant experiment such as DPPH, Ferric- Thiocyanate and Rancimat. Also, EtOAc extract showed a potent hyaluronidase inhibitory activity.

인류의 수명이 연장되고 노령화 사회로 발전됨에 따라 다양한 성인병이 야기되고 있고, 이들 성인병의 원인이 활성산소에 의한 것으로 밝혀짐에 따라 다양한 성인병을 예방 치료할 수 있는 안전하고 우수한 항산화 및 항염증 물질을 천연물로부터 개발하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 자생식물의 하나인 야생복숭아 가지에 대하여 그들의 MeOH 엑스를 필두로 한 분획물 엑스를 대상으로 항산화 및 항염증 효과를 조사하였다. DPPH 법을 사용하여 야생복숭아 가지의 분획물 엑스에 대한 1차 라디칼 소거작용 검색 시험을 한 결과 야생복숭아 가지 의 n-BuOH 엑스와 EtOAc 엑스가 가장 강한 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 1차 실험에서 얻어진 결과를 토대로 야생복숭아에 대하여 보다 상세한 항산화 효과를 검토하기 위하여 Ferric-Thiocyanate 법을 이용한 지질 과산화 억제작용 시험한 결과 야생복숭아 가지 의 EtOAc 엑스가 천연 항산화제인 tocopherol 및 합성 항산화제인 BHA 보다 우수한 탁월한 항산화 효과를 나타내었고, Rancimat법에 의한 지질 산패 억제 실험을 실시한 결과 또한 야생복숭아 가지의 EtOAc 엑스가 tocopherol보다 우수하고 BHA보다는 약간 우수한 강력한 지질 산패 억제 효과를 보였다. Hyaluronidase 저해에 의한 항염증 효과 시험에서는 항산화 실험에서 전반적으로 우수한 항산화 효과를 보인 야생복숭아 가지의 EtOAc 엑스가 ketoprofen보다는 약하나 ibuprofen과 indomethacin보다는 우수한 항염증 효과를 나타내었다. 이상의 실험 결과는 야생복숭아의 항산화 및 항염증 효과의 활성 주성분 분획은 EtOAc 엑스임을 시사하였다.
