Abstract

Rhus javanica L. is Anacardiaceae plant distributed in East Asia. We evaluated the antioxidant activity and antiinflammatory effect of leaf, branch, root of ethyl acetate fraction from R. javanica. To confirm effective each extraction, The antioxidant activity was evaluated using 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) scavenging activity assays, and the anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated based on inhibitory activities on the protein and mRNA expression of iNOS and COX-2 in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. The phenolic compounds content of each extract was analyzed with Folin reagents and HPLC/PDA method. The gallic acids were identified and quantified. The roots of R. javanica showed strong antioxidant activity. Its total phenolic compounds content were higher than the orders. In addition, anti-inflammatory activity inhibited the protein and mRNA expression of nitric oxide production factor, following the same pattern as contents of phenolic compounds included gallic acid and its antioxidant activity. In conclusion, R. javanica showed effective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Especially, the roots were evaluated to be highly valuable as a natural resource for reducing inflammation.

붉나무(Rhus javanica L.)는 동아시아에서 주로 분포하는 옻나무과의 식물이다. 붉나무의 잎, 줄기, 뿌리 에틸아세테이트 분획물의 항산화 활성 및 항염증 활성을 확인하였다. 붉나무 뿌리 에틸아세테이트 분획물의 DPPH 및 ABTS radical 소거활성이 가장 효과적이었으며, 총 페놀 화합물의 함량은 62.9, 70.3, 73.9 mg/g으로 나타났다. HPLC/PDA 분석을 통해 gallic acid를 동정 및 정량하였다. LPS로 자극시킨 RAW264.7 세포에서 항염증 활성을 확인하였다. iNOS의 발현 억제를 통한 NO 생성을 억제하였으며, 이러한 결과들을 통해 gallic acid를 포함하고 있는 붉나무는 염증 질환의 효과적인 경감 및 치료제로 개발될 수 있는 가능성을 보였으며, 붉나무 뿌리의 에틸아세테이트 분획물의 활성이 잎과 줄기 에틸아세테이트 분획물의 활성보다 뛰어났다.
