Abstract

In the screening of Korean traditional tea sources for the cellular lysosomal enzyme activity of peritoneal macrophage from mice, CT-0, a cold-water extract from Carthamus tinctorius L., showed the highest macro-phage-stimulating activity. CT-1-IIa-2-1, a purified macrophage-stimulation polysaccharide was obtained by a series of purification steps such as anion exchage chromatography with DEAE-Toyopearl 650M, gel permeation chromatography with Sepharose CL-6B, Sephacryl S-200, and HPLC with Superdex G-75. The molecular weight of homogeneous purified polysaccharide was estimated about 68 kDa. CT-1-IIa-2-1 consisted of xylose 27.44%, arabinose 16.14%, mannose 15.92% and glucose 14.47%. To measure acute toxicity, dose of 50, 100, 500, and 1000 mg/kg were intraperitoneally injected to ICR mice. The LD$\_$50/ was about 397 mg/kg.

전통차 제조용 식물 63종을 대상으로 macrophage lysosomal enzyme activity를 검색한 결과, 홍화 냉수 추출물에서 높은 macrophage lysosomal enzyme 활성 (219%)을 발견하여 냉수 추출물 CT-0 획분에 대하여 metahnol 환류, ethanol 침전, 투석, 동결건조를 실시하여 macrophage lysosomal enzyme 활성이 더욱 증가된(227%) 고분자 획분 CT-1을 얻었다. 이 획분의 macrophage활성화 성분의 본체를 파악하기 위하여 pronate처리에 의한 단백질 분해와 periodate를 이용한 당 부위의 선택적 실활 후 활성을 검토한 결과, pronase를 처리한 CT-1에서는 약 8% 정도의 활성 증가를 보인반면 periodate 산화물에서는 활성이 약 8% 정도 감소되는 것으로 보아 홍화로부터 macrophage 활성을 나타내는 냉수 추출물의 활성 본체는 다당임을 알 수 있었다. 조다당 활성획분에 대하여 anion exchange column chromatography를 실시하여 9개의 획분(CT-1-I~CT-1-VIII)을 얻었으며 수율과 활성이 가장 높은 CT-1-IIa 획분을 Sepharose CL-6B 및 Sephacrl S-200의 gel permeation chromatography를 수행하여 주요 활성 다당인 CT-1-IIa-2-1을 최종적으로 정제하였다. HPLC상에서 순수한 단일 peak로 확인된 CT-1-IIa-2-1은 분자량이 68 kDa정도의 다당인 것으로 나타났고 macrophage의 lysosomal enzyme 활성은 대조군을 100%로 비교했을 때 243%를 나타내었다. 또한 구성당의 조성은 xylose(27.4%), arabinose(16.1%), mannose(15.9%), glucose(14.5%)의 순이었다. 본 연구에서 CT-1-IIa-2-1은 macrophage의 면역활성을 증가시키는 물질임이 확인되었으나 mouse를 대상으로 급성독성 검사를 실시한 결과 LD$_{50}$값이 397mg/kg으로 일정 농도 이상의 고농도에서는 독성을 나타냈다. 따라서 본 시료에 대하여 아만성.만성 독성과 유전 및 면역 독성과 같은 구체적인 독성 검사를 실시하여 안전농도를 산출한다면, 면역증강물질로의 개발이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.다.
