Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the biological activity and hepatoprotective effect of various fractions and isolated compounds from Kochiae fructus (KF) extract on D-galactosamine (GaIN)-intoxicated rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, GaIN treated group (GaIN), GaIN plus KF methanol extract treated group (KFM 200-GaIN), GaIN plus KF butanol extract treated group (KFB 200-GaIN), GaIN plus momordin Ic treated group (Momordin Ic 30-GaIN) and GaIN plus oleanolic acid treated group (Oleanolic acid 30-GaIN). KFM (200 mg/kg BW), KFB (200 mg/kg BW), momordin Ic (30 mg/kg BW) and oleanolic acid (30 mg/kg BW) were orally administered once a day for 14 days. GaIN (400 mg/kg BW) was injected at 30 minutes after the final administration of the compounds. The activities of serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were increased in the GaIN group compared to the control group and significantly lower in the KFB 200-GaIN, momordin Ic 30-GaIN and oleanolic acid 30-GaIN group than in the GaIN group. Hepatic lipid peroxide level was increased in the GaIN group compared to the control group and was lower in the KFM 200-GaIN, KFB 200-GaIN, momordin Ic 30-GaIN and oleanolic acid 30-GaIN group than in the GaIN group. Activities of xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase in liver were higher in the GaIN group than in the control group and were significantly decreased in the KFB 200-GaIN, momordin Ic 30-GaIN and oleanolic acid 30-GaIN group compared to the GaIN group. Hepatic glutathione, ${\gamma}$-glutamylcysteine synthetase and catalase activities were decreased in the GaIN group compared to the control group and were higher in the KFB 200-GaIN, momordin Ic 30-GaIN and oleanolic acid 30-GaIN group than in the GaIN group. Activities of hepatic glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase were lower in the GaIN group than in the control group and were improved in the KFM 200-GaIN, KFB 200-GaIN, momordin Ic 30-GaIN and oleanolic acid 30-GaIN group compared to the GaIN group. Therefore, the current results indicate that momordin Ic administration alleviated the GaIN-induced adverse effect through enhancing the antioxidant enzyme activities.

지부자(Kochiae Fructus)의 생리활성물질 검색 및 간손상에 미치는 영향을 연구할 목적으로 실험동물에 지부자 추출물을 경구 투여한 후 GaIN으로 간손상을 유발하여 혈액 및 간조직의 생화학적 변화를 관찰하고 free radical의 생성계와 해독계의 활성에 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. GaIN 단독투여군은 대조군에 비하여 AST와 ALT가 증가하였으나, KFB, oleanolic acid, momordin Ic 투여군에서는 GaIN 단독투여군에 비해 유의적 감소를 보였다. 간조직의 지질과산화 함량은 GaIN 단독투여군이 대조군과 비교하여 증가하였고, KFM 200-GaIN군, KFB 200-GaIN군, momordin Ic 30-GaIN군과 oleanolic acid 30-GaIN군은 대조군에는 미치지 못하였으나 GaIN 단독투여군에 비해 현저히 감소하였다. XO, AO의 활성은 대조군보다 GaIN 단독투여군에서 유의적으로 증가하였으며, KFB 200-GaIN군, momordin Ic 30-GaIN군과 oleanolic acid 30-GaIN군의 XO와 AO의 활성은 GaIN 단독투여군보다 낮게 나타났다. 간조직 중의 GSH농도는 GaIN 단독투여군이 대조군에 비해 현저히 감소하였고, KFB 200-GaIN군과 oleanolic acid 30-GaIN군은 GaIN 단독투여군과 비교시 증가를 보였고, momordin Ic 30-GaIN군은 대조군에 가깝게 회복되었다. GaIN 단독투여군의 ${\gamma}$-GCS와 GR의 활성은 대조군에 비하여 유의한 감소를 보였고, momordin Ic 30-GaIN군의 ${\gamma}$ -GCS의 활성은 대조군에는 미치지 못하였지만 GaIN 단독투여군에 비해 유의하게 개선되었다. KFM 200-GaIN군, KFB 200-GaIN군, momordin Ic 30-GaIN군과 oleanolic acid 30-GaIN군의 GR 활성은 GaIN 단독투여군보다 유의한 증가를 보였다. GST활성은 GaIN 단독투여군이 대조군에 비하여 현저한 감소를 나타내었고, KFM200-GaIN군, KFB 200-GaIN군, momordin Ic 30-GaIN군과 oleanolic acid 30-GaIN군은 대조군 수준에는 못미쳤으나 GaIN 단독투여군보다 통계적으로 유의한 증가를 관찰할 수 있었다. SOD, catalase 및 GSH-Px의 활성은 대조군에 비하여 GaIN 단독투여군에서 감소를 보였고, SOD와 catalase 활성은 KFM, KFB와 oleanolic acid의 투여로 GaIN 단독투여군보다 높게 나타났다. 특히 momordin Ic 30-GaIN군의 SOD 활성은 대조군에 가깝게 개선되었다. GSH-Px의 활성은 KFM 200-GaIN군, KFB 200-GaIN군과 oleanolic acid 30-GaIN군은 대조군 수준에는 미치지 못하였으나 GaIN 단독투여군에 비해 현저히 증가하였고, 특히 momordin Ic 30-GaIN군은 대조군에 가깝게 증가되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 지부자로부터 분리한 momordin Ic가 GSH 농도를 증가시키고 활성산소 해독계에 관여하는 효소의 활성을 증가시킴으로서 GaIN으로 인한 간손상을 완화시키는 것으로 사료되어진다.
