Abstract

This study was undertaken to investigate the influence and related mechanisms that have yet to be clearly demonstrated of Lithospermum erythrorhizon derived-naphthoquinone (shikonin) on the anxiety, insomnia, depression in rats. We hypothesized that naphthoquinone, the primary ingredient of Lithospermum erythrorhizon, plays a role in the modulation of insomnia evoked by stress, depression evoked by forced swimming or anxiety evoked by elevated plus maze. Male ICR (Institute of Cancer Research) mice were used and the immobility or swimming time, the duration of sleep, the duration and entry frequency into open arms were measured and recorded. The administration of naphthoquinone (10, 30 and 100 mg/kg) potentiated barbiturate-induced sleep suggesting the activation of GABAA receptor. It also potentiated the time spent in open arms of the maze and decreased the immobility time in forced swimming. In conclusion, naphthoquinone has anxiolytic, hypnotic and anti-depressant properties and is a potential therapeutic for anxiety, insomnia and depression.

본 연구는 불안, 불면증, 우울증 또는 삶의 질에 대하여 지치(Lithospermum erythrorhizon) 유래 naphthoquinone, 즉 shikonin의 영향을 고찰하고, 확실히 밝혀지지 않은 메카니즘을 규명하고자한다. 우리는 지치의 주요성분인 naphthoquinone이 스트레스에 의한 수면장애, 강제수영에 의한 우울, 미로에 의해 유발된 불안현상 등의 조절에 영향을 미칠 것이라고 가설을 세웠다. 수컷 쥐를 이용하여 부동 혹은 수영시간, 수면시간, open arms으로 지속시간 및 진입빈도를 측정하고 기록하였다. Naphthoquinone(10, 30 & 100mg/kg)의 투여군에서 GABAA receptor의 활성으로 일어나는 barbiturate-유도 수면을 증가시켰다. 미로에서 open arms 상태로 지속되는 시간이 증가되고, 강제수영에서 부동시간이 줄었다. 결과적으로 naphthoquinone은 불안을 완화, 수면과 항우울경향이 있고, 불안, 불면과 우울증에서 효과적인 치료효과가 있었다.
