Abstract

Natural anti-oxidative compounds have important disease prevention and food preservation properties, in addition to anti-bacterial, anti-inflammation, anti-cancer, and skin whitening effects. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), with an ultra vilolet (UV) detector coupled to a reverse phase C18 column and an online measurement system for 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radicals, was used to search for potent antioxidative compounds in crude extracts. The online HPLC-DPPH assay was then applied to confirm antioxidative compounds in water extracts from Radix of Pueraria lobata, Rhizoma of Zingiber officinale, Fructus of Chaenomeles sinensis, Cortex of Ulmus pumila, and Radix of Astragalus membranaceus. To determine the yields of the extracts, the Brix% of each extract solution was measured using a refractometer. When the relative DPPH radical scavenging ability values of the water extracts were compared with those of a positive control (ascorbic acid), the water extracts of P. lobata, C. sinensis, and U. pumila were 7.77%, 4.71%, and 4.19%, respectively. The results suggest that this method provides a useful assay for rapid measurement of DPPH radical scavenging abilities and conformation of antioxidative compounds in natural products. Moreover, it can reduce the time spent on the separation of active compounds from natural materials, such as medicinal plants, in addition to the use of reagents for separation.

본 연구에서는 일반적으로 분리 및 분석에 가장 빈번히 사용되고 있는 C18 column과 UV 검출기가 장착된 액체크로마토그래피(HPLC)와 항산화 활성 측정에 사용되는 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) 라디칼 소거능 측정 방법을 결합한 HPLC-DPPH 동시 측정법의 최적화와 유용성 확인을 약용식물의 추출물을 대상으로 실시하였다. 최종적으로 적용된 HPLC-DPPH 동시 측정법의 유용성은 갈근, 건강, 유근피, 모과, 황기 등 5종 약용식물의 열수추출물과 대조군으로서 ascorbic acid의 라디칼 소거능을 측정하여 확인하였다. HPLC-DPPH 동시 측정에 앞서 추출액 중 고형분 함량을 refractometer를 사용하여 측정함으로써 추출 수율에 따른 활성 차이를 보정할 수 있도록 하였다. 갈근, 모과, 유근피 열수추출물의 라디칼 소거능이 대조군으로 사용된 ascorbic acid와 비교하여 7.77%, 4.71%, 4.19%로서 다른 열수추출물보다 상대적으로 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 이와 같은 측정법은 실제 활성 성분의 분리 및 분석에 있어서 불필요한 시간 및 시약의 낭비를 줄일 수 있는 유용한 수단이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
