Abstract

목적 : Elastin 섬유는 피부, 폐, 동맥, 정맥 등 조직에서 발견된다. Elastin 섬유의 손실은 대동맥, 동맥, 세동맥의 탄력 등과 연관되어 폐기종, 혈액순환 부전 및 폐동맥 고혈압을 악화시킬 수 있다. 본 연구는 당귀약침액의 elastase 효소활성에 대한 효과와 항산화 효과에 대하여 연구하고자 계획되었다. 방법 : 당귀약침액의 elastase 억제효과와 DPPH, 및 NO 소거능을 측정하여 항산화 효과를 측정하였다. 결과 : 당귀약침액에서 통계적으로 유의한 elastase 활성 억제효과를 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 통계적으로 강한 DPPH free radical 소거 효과가 관찰되었다. 그리고 NO 소거효과를 관찰할 수 있었으며, 그 효능은 pH 6.0에서 가장 강한 효능을 보였다. 결론 : 본 연구 결과에 의하면, 당귀약침액에는 유효한 elastase 활성 억제효과와 강한 항산화 효과가 있어, 폐기종 및 폐동맥 고혈압 치료에 유효한 작용이 있을 것으로 사료된다.
