Abstract

The radical scavenging activities of 9 medicinal plants on peroxynitrite ($ONOO^-$) and hydroxyl (${\cdot}OH$) radical were investigated using in vitro system. The water extracts of 9 medicinal plants showed the protective effect against $ONOO^-$ and ${\cdot}OH$ radical. In particular, Akebia quinata, Aster scaber, Cudrania tricuspidata, Diospyros kaki, Eriobotrya japonica, Lycium chinense, Parthenocissus tricuspidata and Polygonum aviculare exhibited $ONOO^-$-scavenging activity by about 50% at the concentration of $10{\mu}g/ml$. Although those $ONOO^-$-scavenging activities were lower than that of penicillamine (94.08${\pm}$3.04%) as a positive control, Eriobotrya japonica (89.87${\pm}$4.57%) was the most potent scavenger of $ONOO^-$ at the concentration of $10{\mu}g/ml$. Also, Diospyros kaki and Urtica angustifolia showed the strong${\cdot}$OH-scavenging activity than thiourea, positive control, at the concentration of lmg/ml. Our results indicate that 9medicinal plants may act as free radical scavengers and reduce damages caused by oxidative stress associated with $ONOO^-$ and${\cdot}$OH radical.

약용식물 9종의 물 추출물에 대한 항산화 효과를 탐색하기 위해 in vitro 조건에서 강력한 산화력과 독성을 갖는 $ONOO^-$${\cdot}$OH radical의 소거효과를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 감잎, 구기자, 꾸지뽕나무, 담쟁이덩굴, 마디풀, 비파나무, 으름덩굴, 참취 추출물은 10${\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 50% 이상의$ONOO^$ 소거효과를 나타냈다. 이러한 $ONOO^-$ 소거효과는 양성 대조물인 penicillamine(94.08${\pm}$3.04)에 비해 낮았지만 비파나무 물 추출물(89.87${\pm}$4.57)이 다른 시료에 비해 가장 강력한 $ONOO^-$ 소거효과를 나타냈다. 또한, 가는잎쐐기풀과 감잎 물 추출물은 1mg/ml 농도에서 양성대조물인 thiourea 보다 효과적인${\cdot}$OH radical 억제효 과를 나타냈다. 결론적으로 9종의 약용식물은 $ONOO^-$${\cdot}$OH radical과 연관된 산화적 스트레스에 의한 세포와 조직의 손상을 억제시킬 수 있는 천연 항산화제로 밝혀졌다.
