Abstract

This study was to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of leaf and stem of Artemisia annua L. extract by hot water and 70% ethanol. The total polyphenol content was significantly higher in the 70% ethanol extract of Artemisia annua L. than in the hot water extract, but there was no significant difference in the total flavonoid content between the hot water extract and the 70% ethanol extract. The DPPH radical and ABTS radical scavenging ability was the highest in the vitamin C treatment group at the concentration of 62.5~500 ㎍/mL, followed by the 70% ethanol extract and the hot water extract. As a result of measuring the NO production inhibitory effect at 125 ~ 500 ㎍/mL, the hot water extract showed strong NO production inhibition at the concentration of 500 ㎍/mL, and showed the inhibition of NO production with concentration-dependent pattern. In addition to inhibitory activity of NP production, the 70% ethanol extract also showed an inhibitory effect on inflammatory cytokines production. It is thought that it can be widely used in the treatment and improvement of inflammatory diseases because it shows antioxidant effects and significantly reduces the expression of inflammatory cytokines.

개똥쑥(Artemisia annua L.)은 국화과 (Compositae)에 속하는 일년생 초본으로 예로부터 진통, 안면마비 등의 신경계 질환과 위염, 호흡기 등의 질병치료 목적으로 이용되는 식물로 알려져 있다. 개똥쑥을 열수 및 70% 에탄올로 추출하여 추출용매에 따른 추출물의 농도별로 항산화 활성 및 항염증 효과에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 실시하였다. 총 polyphenol의 함량은 개똥쑥 70% 에탄올 추출물에서 열수 추출물에 비하여 유의적으로 높게 나타났으나, 총 flavonoid 함량은 개똥쑥 열수 추출물과 70% 에탄올 추출물에서 유의적 차이는 보이지 않았다. DPPH radical 소거능력과 ABTS radical 소거능력은은 62.5~500 ㎍/mL 농도에서는 비타민 C 처리구에서 가장 높게 나타났고 그 다음으로는 70% 에탄올 추출물, 열수 추출물 순으로 높게 나타났다. 125 ~ 500 ㎍/mL에서 NO 생성 억제효과를 측정한 결과 열수 추출물에서는 500 ㎍/mL 농도에서 강한 NO 생성 억제를 보이며, 농도의존적으로 NO 생성 억제를 나타났다. 70% 에탄올 추출물에서는 NO 생성 억제 뿐 아니라 염증성 싸이토카인 발현을 현저히 억제하는 결과를 보이며, 농도의존적인 억제 효과를 나타났다. 개똥쑥은 항산화효과 및 염증성 싸이토카인의 발현을 현저히 감소시키는 효과를 보이므로 염증성 질환 치료 및 개선에 널리 사용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.
