Abstract

The roots of Opuntia humifusa (OHR) were extracted with 80% aqueous MeOH and the concentrated extract was partitioned with EtOAc, n-butanol and $H_2O$, successively. The fractions were tested using DPPH and ABST radical scavenging method. The all fractions showed potent scavenging effects. The scavenging effect of the EtOAc fraction was higher than the other fractions, with $IC_{50}$ values as DPPH; $77.0{\pm}1.38{\mu}g/mL$, ABTS: $26.3{\pm}2.02{\mu}g/mL$. And, we investigated anti-inflammatory activities by examining the effects of the OHR fractions on pro-inflammatory cytokine release in the human mast cells (HMC-1). Treatment with OHR fractions clearly reduced the release of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$), interleukin (IL)-$1{\beta}$, interleukin (IL)-6 and interleukin (IL)-8) in PMACI-stimulated HMC-1 cells. The results showed the potential of OHR as an excellent antioxidant substance and inhibiting inflammatory mediators. Therefore, OHR may be used as a therapeutic approach to various inflammatory diseases.

본 연구에서는 천년초 분획물에 따른 항산화 및 항염증 효과를 확인하고자 80% MeOH로 추출하여, 추출물을 EtOAc Fr., n-BuOH Fr. 및 $H_2O$ Fr. 로 용매 분획하였다. 각 분획물에 대하여 총 폴리페놀 함량, DPPH 및 ABTS radical scavenging 방법을 이용한 항산화 활성 측정 결과, 모든 분획에서 항산화 활성을 확인하였고, 그 중 OHRE 분획은 가장 높은 총 폴리페놀 함량(179.3 mg/g)을 나타내었고, $IC_{50}$ 값이 DPPH는 $77.0{\pm}1.38{\mu}g/mL$, ABTS는 $26.3{\pm}2.02{\mu}g/mL$으로 가장 높은 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 항염증 효과는 PMACI로 HMC-1 cells에 염증을 유발시킨 뒤 천년초 뿌리 분획물을 처리하여 TNF-$\acute{\alpha}$를 비롯해 IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, IL-8등의 염증 매게 물질을 효과적으로 억제하는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 천년초 뿌리는 높은 항산화 활성과 및 염증 매게 물질의 생성을 억제하는 우수한 항염증 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다.
