Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity and clinical efficacy of a sample (A.C.C. extracts) obtained by distillation extraction of 14 herbal medicines including Phellodendron bark. To confirm this, the amount of nitric oxide (NO) produced by the cells in RAW 264.7 cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the changes in the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$, interleukin(IL)-$1{\beta}$ and IL-6 were determined. The results showed that A.C.C. extracts strongly inhibited the production of NO and inflammatory cytokines increased by LPS without cytotoxicity. In addition, A.C.C. extracts showed strong bacterial reduction rates of 99.9% in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans. These findings indicate that A.C.C. extracts are effective ingredients with a strong antimicrobial effect together with an anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, when A.C.C. extracts were applied to infants and toddlers who were suffering from diaper rash, itching, and perspiration symptoms, symptoms of rash, atopy, rash, itching, and heat rash were improved. After the lapse of time, it was visually confirmed that it was considerably relaxed. These findings confirm that A.C.C. extracts comprise a clinically effective anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial agent that alleviates symptoms such as diaper rash and fever and may therefore be an effective alternative to inflammatory diseases.

본 연구의 목적은 황백을 포함한 총 14가지의 한약재를 증류 추출하여 얻은 시료(A.C.C. 추출물)의 항염증 활성을 확인하고 임상적인 효과를 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위해, Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)로 자극한 RAW 264.7세포에서 세포가 방출하는 nitric oxide(NO) 생성량과 염증성 사이토카인인 tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-${\alpha}$, interleukin(IL)-$1{\beta}$ 및 IL-6 생성량의 변화를 확인하였다. 그 결과, A.C.C. 추출물은 세포 독성없이 LPS가 증가시킨 NO와 염증성 사이토카인들의 생성을 강력하게 억제하였다. 또한, A.C.C. 추출물은 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA(Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans 등의 세균들에서 99.9%의 강력한 세균 감소율을 보여 주었다. 이는 A.C.C. 추출물이 항염증 효과와 함께 강력한 항균 효과를 가진 유효한 성분인 것을 의미한다. 또한, 기저귀 발진, 가려움증, 땀띠 증상을 겪고 있는 영 유아에게 A.C.C. 추출물을 도포하였을 때, 발진, 아토피, 짓무름, 가려움증, 땀띠 등의 증상 개선 효과를 나타내었으며, 영 유아 피부의 땀띠가 2주일 경과 후 상당히 완화된 것을 육안으로 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 A.C.C. 추출물이 임상적으로도 항염증 및 항균작용을 통하여 기저귀 발진 및 땀띠 등의 증상을 완화 시키는 물질임을 확실히 한 것이다. 그러므로, A.C.C. 추출물이 염증성 질환에 대한 효과적인 대안이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
