Abstract

Mongolian dandelion (Taraxacum mongolicum H.) extracted with solvents having different polarities were prepared to investigate protection activity of gastric mucosa. Ethanol extracts were successively reextracted with methylene chloride, and n-butanol. Concentrations of total flavonoids and luteolin in n-butanol extracts were 27.75 and 1.14%, respectively, much higher than those of other solvent extracts. Results of anti-microbial acitivity test against Helicobacter pylori and urease inhibition test revealed n-butanol extract exerted higher inhibition (13.16%) than other solvent extracts. Based on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, n-butanol extract showed the highest efficiency of free radical-scavenger activity among the extracts ($SC_{50}\;47{\mu}g/mL$). Erythrocytic photohemolysis tests, for the protection of cell membrane showed that half-life of human erythrocytes was increased by the addition of n-butanol extract $({\tau}_{50}=172min;C=5.0{\mu}g/mL)$. These results indicate n-butanol extract of Mongolian dandelion may be useful as a adjuvant for gastric diseases.

민들레 (Taraxacum mongolicum H.) 추출물에 대한 위장보호효과를 측정하기 위하여 민들레를 ethanol로 추출한 후 methylene chloride과 n-butanol을 이용하여 용매의 극성에 따라 순차적으로 추출물을 분획하여 각 분획물을 얻었다. 이들 분획물로 총플라보노이드 및 luteolin 함량을 측정하고 H. pylori 항균작용, urease 저해 효과, 프리라디칼소거작용, 세포막 보호 효과에 대해 시험하였다. 각 분획물의 총 플라보노이드와 luteolin 함량을 측정을 한 결과 n-butanol 분획에서 각각 27.75%, 1.14%로 다른 분획들보다 2가지 성분 모두 가장 많이 함유하고 있었다. 효능 시험에서도 n-butanol 분획은 위장 질환을 일으키는 직접적인 요인 중 하나인 H. pylori에 대한 항균 및 urease 저해 시험에서 다른 분획물 보다 좋은 결과를 보였다. 또한, 위장 장애의 간접적인 요인이 될 수 있는 라디칼의 소거 작용 및 활성산소로부터 세포막 보호에 대한 각 분획물의 시험에서도 n-butanol 분획물이 가장 우수한 효과를 나타내었으며 DPPH 라디칼소거능의 $SC_{50}$ 값은 $47{\mu}g/ml$, 세포막 보호실험에서 ${\tau}_{50}$=172min$(C=5.0{\mu}g/mL)$이었다. 따라서 각 분획물의 성분 분석과 수행되어진 효능 실험 결과들을 비교하여 볼 때 민들레 추출물의 n-butanol 분획물이 위점막 보호에 효과가 있음을 예측할 수 있었으며 위장 보호를 위한 조성물의 성분으로 사용될 수 있음을 시사하였다.
