Abstract

This study was carried out to develop safe and novel anticoagulation agents from oriental medicinal herbs. From 33 medicinal herbs, 40 different ethanol extracts were prepared according to place of origin or extraction parts, and anticoagulation activities were evaluated by determination of thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). The average water content and average extraction ratio for the medicinal herbs were $6.85{\pm}2.26%$ and $5.27{\pm}4.25%$, respectively. Evaluation of TT at various concentrations of the extract led to the selection of Mucuna birdwoodiana, Prunus armeniaca, Cacalia ainsliaeiflora, Cinnamonum aromaticum, and Rhus javanica Linneas potent antithrombosis medicinal herbs. Evaluation of PT and aPTT showed that the extracts of R.javanica Linne, M. birdwoodiana, and P. armeniaca have strong anticoagulation activities. Determination of hemolytic activities of 40 different ethanol extracts against human red blood cells, however, showed that only M. birdwoodiana, C. ainsliaeiflora, C. aromaticum, and R. javanica Linnehas strong anticoagulation activity without hemolytic activity at a concentration of 500 mg/ml. Our results suggest that oriental medicinal herbs, which are under a mass-production system, have potentialas a safe and novel source of anticoagulants, as well being a thrombin-specific and coagulation factor-specific inhibitor.

한방 생약재로부터 안전하면서도 신규의 항혈전제를 개발하기 위해, 현재 국내에서 유통되고 있는 국내 및 국외산 한방 생약재 33종을 대상으로 40종의 에탄올 추출물을 조제하고, 이들의 thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)을 평가하였다. 생약재중 중국산은 28종으로 대부분이 국외산이었으며, 부위별로는 종자 및 뿌리 부위가 19종을 차지하였다. 평균 수분함량은 $6.85{\pm}2.26%$, 평균 추출율은 $5.27{\pm}4.25%$를 나타내었다. 조제된 시료의 TT평가 결과, 사인(중국), 고본, 팔각향, 계지, 당삼, 계혈등, 행인, 오배자, 괄루근 및 포황에서 우수한 트롬빈 저해활성을 확인하였으며, 다양한 농도에서 평가 결과 계혈등, 행인, 팔각향, 계지, 오배자 추출물 순으로 트롬빈 저해능이 강력함을 확인하였다. PT 평가 결과 오배자, 계혈등, 행인에서, aPTT 평가결과 오배자 및 계혈등에서 우수한 항혈전능을 확인하였다. 한편 추출물의 인간적혈구 용혈활성을 평가한 결과, 계혈등, 팔각향, 계지, 오배자 추출물은 $500\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서도 용혈활성이 없음을 확인하여 이들 4종을 최종 선정하였다. 본 연구결과는 이미 대량생산이 확립된 한방생약제로부터 우수한 항혈전제 개발이 가능함을 제시하고 있으며, 트롬빈 및 혈장 응고 인자에 대한 특이 저해제 개발이 가능함을 제시하고 있다.
