Abstract

The inhibitory effects of red-ginseng saponin hydrolyzates (prosapogenin, panaxadiol and panaxatriol) on lipoperoxide formation in vitro and in vivo were investigated and correlated with anti-aging. Saponin hydrolyzates showed the electron-donating ability (EDA) of 12.88 - 19.76% to DPPH in vitro, and the ability was distinctively decreased in order of prosapogenin, panaxatriol and panaxadiol. The induction period of saponin hydrolyzates, which was measured by the method of peroxide value (POV), was much longer than red-ginseng saponin and decreased in order of prosapogenin, panaxatriol and panaxadiol. The inhibitory effect of saponin, hydrolyzates in vivo was remarkably greater than control. In contrast to red-ginseng saponin, almost similar inhibitory effect in rat liver and kidney was observed, whereas they were much more effective than red-ginseng saponin in blood. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of saponin hydrolyzates in vitro was also measured, and the inhibitory effect of saponin hydrolyzates was found to be 24.2-36.4% and 2-3 times greater than that of red-ginseng saponin (12.1%). Saponin hydrolyzates showed the inhibitory effects of 11.2-21.6% and 12.9-22.2% in oral and intraperitioneal administrations, respectively. It was also found from the measurement of peroxidase activity that the inhibitory effects of saponin hydrolyzates were 111.4-139.6% in oral administration and 129.0-188.6% in intraperitoneal administration.

홍삼(紅蔘)사포닌 가수분해물(加水分解物)의 항산화작용(抗酸化作用)에 의한 노화억제작용(老化抑制作用)을 구명(究明)하기 위하여 홍삼(紅蔘)사포닌을 가수분해(加水分解)하여 얻은 prosapogenin, panaxadiol 및 panaxatriol을 시료(試料)로 하여 in vitro 및 in vivo 실험(實驗)을 통하여 이들 가수분해물(加水分解物)들의 생체(生體) 과산화지질생성(過酸化脂質生成)에 미치는 억제효과(抑制效果)를 비교(比較)하였다. DPPH에 대한 전자공여능(電子供與能)(EDA)은 $13.88{\sim}19.76%$를 나타내고 있었으며 in vitro에서 과산화지질생성(過酸化脂質生成) 억제효과(抑制效果)는 현저하였으며 그 순서는 prosapogenin>panaxatriol>panacadiol이었다. POV에 의한 유효기간(誘導期間)은 이들 가수분해물(加水分解物) 홍삼(紅蔘)사포닌보다 훨씬 높았으며 prosaposenin>panaxatriol>panaxadiol의 순이었다. in vivo에서 복강(復腔)(i. p.) 및 경구(經口)(p.o.) 투여(投與)에 의한 생체내(生體內) 과산화지질생성(過酸化脂質生成) 억제효과(抑制效果)는 대조군(對照群)에 비(比)해 훨씬 효과적(效果的)이었으며, 홍삼(紅蔘)사포닌과 비교(比較)했을 때 간장(肝臟)과 신장(腎臟)에는 거의 비슷한 효과(效果)를 나타냈지만 혈액(血液)에서는 이들 가수분해물(加水分解物)이 홍삼(紅蔘)사포닌보다 훨씬 효과적(效果的)이었다. 효소활성(酵素活性)으로서 superoxide dismutase 활성(活性)을 in vitro에서 비교해 보면 이들 가수분해물(加水分解物)이 $24.2{\sim}36.4%$의 과산화지질생성(過酸化脂質生成) 억제효과(抑制效果)를 나타내고 있어, 홍삼(紅蔘)사포닌의 12.1%보다 $2{\sim}3$ 배(倍)의 효과(效果)를 나타내고 있었고, in vivo에서는 복강(復腔)(i. p.) 투여(投與)에서는 $12.9{\sim}22.2%$. 경구(經口)(p.o.) 투여(投與)에서는 $11.2{\sim}21.6%$의 높은 활성(活性)을 나타내고 있었다. 단 peroxidase 활성(活性)은 복강(復腔)(i. p.) 투여(投與)에서는 $129.0{\sim}188.6%$, 경구(經口)(p. o.) 투여(投與)에서는 $111.4{\sim}139.6%$의 활성(活性)을 나타내고 있었다.
