Abstract

Kaempferia parviflora, an herbaceous plant in the family Zingiberaceae, is popular in many tropical regions. It is called as black ginger or krachaidum in Thailand and Laos, and its raw or dried root have been used as spices and teas. The rhizomes also have been traditionally used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, ulcers, gout, dysentery, allergies and to improve physical work capacity. Recently, its anti-obesity, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and blood clot-lysis activities were reported. In this study, the anti-thrombosis activity of black ginger was investigated, since improvement in blood fluidity leads to the prevention of various lifestyle-related diseases. The hot water and ethanol extract and their subsequent solvent fractions (hexane, ethylacetate, butanol fractions and water residue) were prepared, and their anti-coagulation and platelet aggregation inhibitory activities were determined, respectively. Among the black ginger extracts and their fractions, the ethylacetate fraction (EAF) of ethanol extract only showed significant extensions of blood coagulation time determined by thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). At 5 mg/ml concentration, TT, PT and aPTT were extended to 1.22, 1.49 and >15-folds compared to non-treatment. The EAFs of ethanol and hot water extract showed strong inhibitions against collagen-induced platelet aggregations, which are comparable to inhibitions of aspirin. Also the EAFs from black ginger did not show any hemolysis activity against human RBC up to 0.5 mg/ml. Our results suggest that the EAF of black ginger has a potential as novel anti-coagulation and ant-platelet aggregation agent. This report provides the first evidence of anti-coagulation activity of black ginger.

흑생강은 생강과 초본과 뿌리식물로 태국 및 라오스에서는 크라차이담으로 불리며, 뿌리는 향신료와 차로 이용되어 왔다. 말린 뿌리는 위장장애, 통풍, 이질, 알러지 치료 및 강장용으로 전통적으로 이용되어 왔으며, 최근에는 항비만, 항산화, 항염증, 혈전 용해 활성 등의 다양한 유용 생리활성이 보고되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 흑생강의 혈액순환 개선 활성을 확인하기 위해, 흑생강 지하부의 ethanol 추출물 및 열수 추출물을 조제하고 각각 이의 순차적 유기용매 분획물인 hexane 분획물, ethylacetate (EA) 분획물, butanol 분획물 및 물 잔류물을 조제하여 각각의 성분을 분석하였고, 혈전 생성과 관련된 항응고 활성, 혈소판 응집저해 활성 및 적혈구 용혈활성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, ethanol 추출물의 EA 분획물 5 mg/ml 농도에서 TT, PT, aPTT를 각각 1.22, 1.49 및 15배 이상 연장시켜 강력한 항응고 활성을 나타냄을 확인하였으며, ethanol 및 열수 추출물의 EA 분획물 모두에서 동량의 아스피린보다 강력한 혈소판 응집저해 활성을 확인하였다. 또한 상기 EA 분획물들은 0.5 mg/ml 농도까지 인간 적혈구에 대한 용혈활성을 나타내지 않았다. 본 연구 결과는 흑생강의 혈전 생성 억제 활성에 대한 최초의 보고이며, 흑생강의 EA 분획물이 인간 적혈구 용혈활성 없이 강력한 항응고 및 혈소판 응집저해 활성을 나타내어 신규의 항혈전제로 이용 가능함을 제시하고 있다.
