Abstract

이물질 침입에 대한 인식의 결과 NO, PGE$_2$, TNF-, IL-6와 같은 여러 신호전달물질의 분비가 개시되며 이들을 억제하는 물질을 항염증제라고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 회향(Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) 열매 추출물이 mouse macrophages RAW264.7 세포에서 lipopolysaccharide(LPS)로 유도한 NO(iNOS 산물), PGE$_2$(COX-2 산물) 및 cytokines (TNF-$\alpha$, IL-6) 생성 억제에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 회향 열매의 methanol 추출물 및 분획물(chloroform, butanol, and aqueous fractions)은 4~100$\mu$g/mL 농도에서 LPS가 활성화된 대식 세포에서 NO 생성을 억제하였으며 독성을 나타내지 않았다. LPS가 유도한 PGE$_2$ 생성은 butanol 분획(100 $\mu$g/mL)에 의해서만 유의적으로 감소하였다(P<0.05). 회향 열매 추출물 및 분획물은 TNF-$\alpha$의 생성을 유의적으로 감소시켰으며 IL-6의 생성은 methanol extract(4~100 $\mu$g/mL), chloroform fraction(4 $\mu$g/mL), butanol fraction(4 and 100$\mu$g/mL) 및 aqueous fraction(4~100 $\mu$g/mL)에 의해 감소되었다(P<0.05). 이는 회향 열매 추출물은 염증 상태에서 유용할 것이며 COX-2와 iNOS를 억제하는 butanol 분획은 새로운 항염증제 개발에 사용될 수 있음을 시사하여 주었다.
