Abstract

Biological activities of Korean Panax ginseng 55% ethanol extract (KPGE) were investigated. The measured total polyphenol content of KPGE was 357.45 mg/100 g. KPGE showed the highest ${\alpha},{\alpha}$-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activities of 80% and 86% at 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities significantly increased in a KPGE concentration-dependent manner. SOD-like activity of KPGE (1, 10, and 100 ${\mu}g/mL$) increased from 22% up to 33% at KPGE concentrations of 500 and 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$. KPGE treatment significantly suppressed the generation of pro-inflammatory mediators, including nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$), and cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha: TNF-${\alpha}$, interleukin-6: IL-6, interleukin-$1{\beta}$: IL-$1{\beta}$), in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. KPGE demonstrated strong anti-inflammatory activity that reduced NO and $PGE_2$ production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Even low concentrations of KPGE (1 and 10 ${\mu}g/mL$) reduced $PGE_2$ and NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophages without LPS-stimulation, respectively. At concentrations of 100, 500, and 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$ and IL-6 production were significantly suppressed. The results of our study suggest the potential of Korean Panax ginseng as an excellent antioxidant substance for inhibiting inflammatory mediators. Therefore, Korean Panax ginseng (KPGE) may be used as a therapeutic approach to various inflammatory diseases.

산양삼 55% 에탄올 추출물의 항산화 효과 및 LPS로 염증이 유도된 RAW 264.7 대식세포에서 염증매개 물질의 억제능력을 측정하여 항염증 효과를 살펴보았다. 폴리페놀 함량, DPPH, ABTS sytem 및 SOD 유사활성을 측정하여 항산화 효과를 확인한 결과, 높은 폴리페놀 함량(357.45 mg/100 g)이 확인되었고, free radical 소거활성을 측정한 결과 KPGE는 농도 의존적으로 free radical을 소거하였으며, 대조군인 BHT와 유사한 소거활성이 확인되어 KPGE의 우수한 항산화 활성을 확인할 수 있었다. 조사된 최고 농도(1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$)에서 DPPH(80%)와 ABTS(86%)는 가장 높은 활성을 나타냈다. SOD 유사활성은 1, 10, 100 ${\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 22%의 활성이 확인되었고, 500, 1000 ${\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 33%의 높은 항산화 활성이 확인되었다. 또한, KPGE의 항염증 효과를 확인하기 위해 LPS로 염증이 유도된 RAW 264.7 대식세포에서 NO, $PGE_2$ 및 전염증성 cytokine(TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6)을 측정한 결과, 추출물은 농도 의존적으로 NO, $PGE_2$ 생성 및 전염증성 cytokine인 TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6의 생성을 효과적으로 억제하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과를 통하여 산양삼 55% 에탄올 추출물 KPGE는 높은 항산화 활성과 염증매개 물질의 생성을 억제하는 우수한 항염증 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다.
