Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the antioxidative effects of Puerariae Radix extract. Method Total antioxidant capacity (TAC), Total antioxidant response (TAR), Total phenolic content, Reactive oxygen species (ROS), 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activities, lipid peroxidation were examined. Result Total antioxidant status was examined by total antioxidant capacity(TAC) and total antioxidant response(TAR) against potent free radical reactions. TAC and TAR of Puerariae Radix extract at the concentration of 5 mg/ml were 2.02 and 1.50 mM Trolox equivalents, respectively. Total phenolic content of Puerariae Radix extract at the concentration of 5 mg/ml was 2.29 mM gallic acid equivalent. Concentration of Puerariae Radix extract at which DPPH radical scavenging activity was inhibited by 50% was 5.91 mg/ml as compared to 100% by pyrogallol solution as a reference. The inhibitory effect of the extract on lipid peroxidation was examined using rat liver mitochondria induced by FeSO4/ascorbic acid. Puerariae Radix extract at the concentration of 1 mg/ml slightly but significantly decreased TBARS concentration. The extract further prevented lipid peroxidation in a dose-dependent manner. The effect of Puerariae Radix extract on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was examined using cell-free system induced by hydrogen peroxide/FeSO4. Addition of 1 mg/ml of Puerariae Radix extract significantly reduced dichloroflurescein (DCF) fluorescence. The extract caused concentration-dependent attenuation of the increase in DCF fluorescence, indicating that the extract significantly prevented ROS generation in vitro. Thus antioxidant effects of Puerariae Radix extract seem to be due to, at least in part, the prevention from free radicals-induced oxidation, followed by inhibition of lipid peroxidation. Conclusion As a result, Puerariae Radix seems to have antioxitative effect and antioxidant compount.

오래 전부터 성분에 대한 확실한 분석은 없었으나 식용과 약용으로 이용되어 온 소리쟁이(Rumex crisps.)의 항 산화 물질 및 활성에 대해 시험하였다. 항 산화 활성 측정은 DPPH 법과 효소 활성 검사법을 이용하였고, Rumex crispus, Rumex acetoceae와 Rumex nipponicus의 항산화력을 DPPH 법에 의해 측정한 결과 3종류 모두 항산화력이 뿌리>잎>줄기의 순으로 높게 나타났다. 뿌리 추출물에 항산화력은 50% 억제 율이 Rumex crispus ; 6.1 ug/ml, Rumex nippponicus ; 9.8 ug/mL, Rumex acetoceae ; 25.3 ug/mL의 순으로 활성이 높게 나타났다. 잎 추출물 대한 $IC_{50}$/값이 Rumex acetoceae ; 31.5 ug/mL, Rumex nippponicus ; 59.1 ug/mL, Rumex crispus ; 68.8 ug/mL의 순으로 항산화활성이 높게 나타났다. Rumex crispus에서 분리 동정된 주요 페놀성 항 산화 물질은 2, 6-Dichloro-4-nitrophenol, 2-Isopropyl-5-methylphenol은 잎과 뿌리 추출물 모두에서 확인되었고, 4-Vinyl-2-methoxy-phenol과 2, 3-Dihydro-benzofuran 2종은 잎 추출물에서만 동정되었다. 동정된 각 물질의 분자량은 2, 6-Dichloro-4-introphenol ; 206.95, 2-Isopropyl-5-methylphenol ; 150.10, 4-Vinyl-2-methoxy-phenol ; 150.07, 2, 3-Dihydro-benzofuran ; 120.06이 모두 120~206 범위 안에 속하는 低分子化合物質이였다. Rumex crispus의 callus와 생체식물의 효소활성 측정 결과 POD 비활성 (IU/mg protein)은 줄기가 0.44 IU/mg protein으로 높은 활성을 나타내었으나 callus와 잎 부분의 활성은 모두 낮았고, SOD비활성 (IU/mg protein)은 줄기부분이 24.4 IU/mg protein으로 가장 높았다. POD isoenzyme pattern을 분석한 결과 뿌리와 callus에 3개의 isoenzyme, 잎과 줄기 부분에서는 2개의 isoenzyme이 발견되었다. Rumex SOD isoenzyme pattern 분석결과는 뿌리와 Callus에서만 1개의 Isoenzyme 이 나타났다.
