Abstract

To develop anti-acidosis and anti-diabetes agentsfrom natural products, the inhibitory activities of Brazilian plant extracts against microbial $\alpha$-amylase and $\alpha$-glucosidase were evaluated. Among 100 different ethanol extracts tested, those of Acacia jurema Mart., Anacardium humile A. St.-Hil., Cedrela odorata L., and Guazuma ulmifolia Lam showed good inhibitoryactivities toward both enzymes. In addition, an extract of Plumeria drastica Mart. showed specific inhibition of $\alpha$-amylase, whereas that of Eugenia uniflora L. demonstrated strong inhibition of the enzyme. IC50 values of $\alpha$-amylase inhibition suggested that the extract of A. humile A. St.-Hil., which has been used as an anti-diabetes medicine in Brazil, had potent inhibitory activity. The IC50 for the A. humile A. St.-Hil. extract ($91.2{\mu}g/mL$) was similar to that of acarbose ($50.5{\mu}g/mL$). This activity of A. humile A. St.-Hil. was not reduced by heat or acid treatment. Moreover, treatment with HCl (0.01 M) for 1 h increased the inhibitory activity from 57.5% to 81.2%. Also, the extract did not cause hemolysis of human red blood cells at levels up to 1 mg/mL. The results indicate that the extract of A. humile A. St.-Hil. is potentially useful as an anti-acidosis and anti-diabetes agent.

반추동물의 급성 산독증의 예방 및 치료제 개발을 위해 100종의 브라질 식물 추출물을 이용하여 미생물 유래의 $\alpha$-amylase 및 $\alpha$-glucosidase 저해 활성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 Acacia jurema Mart., Anacardium humile A. St.-Hil., Cedrela odorata L., 및 Guazuma ulmifolia Lam 추출물에서 우수한 $\alpha$-amylase 및 $\alpha$-glucosidase 저해 활성을 확인하였으며, Plumeria drastica Mart.에서는 우수한 $\alpha$-amylase 특이적 저해활성을, Eugenia uniflora L.에서는 강력한 $\alpha$-glucosidase 특이적 저해 활성을 확인하였다. 6종의 추출물을 대상으로 $\alpha$-amylase에 대한 $IC_{50}$ 평가 결과, 현지에서 항당뇨제로 사용되는 A. humile A. St.-Hil., 추출물($IC_{50}$: $91.2{\mu}g/ml$)이 가장 강력한 저해를 나타내었으며, 항당뇨제로 이용되고 있는 acarbose ($IC_{50}$:$50.5{\mu}g/mL$)의 저해활성에 필적하였다. A. humile A. St.-Hil., 추출물은 $80^{\circ}C$, 또는 0.01N HCl 조건에서 60분간 처리에 활성의 변화가 나타나지 않았으며, 산 처리시에는 오히려 활성의 증가가 나타났다. 또한 A. humile A. St.-Hil., 추출물은 인간 적혈구에 대한 용혈활성을 나타내지 않아 반추동물의 급성 산독증 및 인간 당뇨병 치료에도 이용 가능하리라 판단된다.
