Angelica keiskei has exhibited numerous pharmacological effects including antitumor, antimetastatic, and antidiabetic effects. However, the anti-inflammatory effects and mechanisms employed by xanthoangelol E isolated from Angelica keiskei are incompletely understood. In this study, we attempted to determine the effects of Xanthoangelol E on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated mouse peritoneal macrophage. The findings of this study demonstrated that xanthoangelol E inhibited the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$, interleukin (IL)-6, and prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$). Xanthoangelol E inhibited the enhanced levels of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) caused by LPS. Additionally, we showed that the anti-inflammatory effect of xanthoangelol E is through the regulation of the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-${\kappa}B$ and caspase-1. These results provide novel insights into the pharmacological actions of xanthoangelol E as a potential candidate for the development of new drugs to treat inflammatory diseases.

본 연구는 싸리나무의 기능성 식의약품 개발을 위해 부위별 최적의 에탄올 추출조건을 탐색하고 HPLC-DAD 분석방법에 대한 밸리데이션을 실시하였다. 싸리나무뿌리 추출물로부터 반복적인 크로마토그래피 기법으로 주요성분을 분리하여 NMR, MS와 같은 기기분석 data를 해석하여 xanthoangelol 화합물임을 확인하였다. Xanthoangelol를 표준물질로 선정하여 HPLC-DAD 분석법이 타당한지를 검토하기 위하여 직선성, 일간 일내 정확성, 정밀성 검출한계 및 정량한계를 확인하는 분석법 밸리데이션을 수행하였다. Xanthoangelol 분석은 ZORBAX Eclipse plus C₁₈ (4.6×150 mm, 5 ㎛) 칼럼과 기울기 용출(gradient elution) 방법으로, 370 nm 파장에서 다른 물질의 간섭 없이 안정되게 분석되는 것을 확인하였다. 기능성 소재로 적용하기에 적합한 물과 에탄올을 이용해 농도별(water, 30, 50, 70, 95% EtOH)로 추출하고 xanthoangelol의 함량을 분석하였으며, 에탄올 비율에 따라 대상 성분의 추출율을 조절함으로써 기능성 바이오 식의약품 원료 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) have been widely used as antidepressants. Recently, there has been renewed interest in MAO inhibitors. The activity-guided fractionation of extracts from Angelica keiskei Koidzumi (A. keiskei K.) led to the isolation of two prenylated chalcones, xanthoangelol and 4-hydroxyderricin and a flavonoid, cynaroside. These three isolated compounds are the major active ingredients of A. keiskei K. to inhibit the MAOs and DBH activities. Xanthoangelol is a nonselective MAO inhibitor, and a potent dopamine ${\beta}$-hydroxylase (DBH) inhibitor. $IC_{50}$ values of xanthoangelol to MAO-A and MAO-B were calculated to be 43.4 ${\mu}M$, and 43.9 ${\mu}M$. These values were very similar to iproniazid, which is a nonselective MAO inhibitor used as a drug against depression. The $IC_{50}$ values of iproniazid were 37 ${\mu}M$, and 42.5 ${\mu}M$ in our parallel examination. Moreover, $IC_{50}$ value of xanthoangelol to DBH was calculated 0.52 ${\mu}M$. 4-Hydroxyderricin is a potent selective MAO-B inhibitor and also mildly inhibits DBH activity. The $IC_{50}$ value of 4-hydroxyderricin to MAO-B was calculated to be 3.43 ${\mu}M$ and this value was higher than that of deprenyl (0.046 ${\mu}M$) used as a positive control for selective MAO-B inhibitor in our test. Cynaroside is a most potent DBH inhibitor. The $IC_{50}$ value of cynaroside to DBH was calculated at 0.0410 ${\mu}M$. Results of this study suggest that the two prenylated chalcones, xanthoangelol and 4-hydroxyderricin isolated from A. keiskei K., are expected for potent candidates for development of combined antidepressant drug. A. keiskei K. will be an excellent new bio-functional food material that has the combined antidepressant effect.
