Abstract

This study was performed to find natural foods with high anti-dementia effects from natural plant resources which have been used for mental health. We screened inhibitors of prolyl endopeptidase which could be implicated in the processing of Alzheimer's disease, the principal part of dementia. One hundred natural foods were examined for prolyl endopeptidase inhibitors. Out of them, methanol extract of Acorns and Raspberry inhibited more than 90% of prolyl endopeptidase activity at 40 ppm. Also, methanol extract of Walnut inhibited 73% of prolyl endopeptidase activity at the same concentration. Therefore, the result suggests that these natural foods may have the potential to be used for preventing and treating dementia like Alzheimer disease.

우리나라가 고령화사회에서 고령사회로, 고령사회에서 초고령사회로 도달하는 시간이 각각 22년과 10년으로 추정되며 선진국에 비해 진입속도가 빠를 것으로 보고 있다. 고령화인구에 따라 일상생활은 물론 지역 사회에서의 활동, 더 나아가서는 직업 활동을 할 수 없는 기억 장애현상인 노인성 치매가 더욱 문제시된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라에서 정신건강 관련하여 이미 이용되고 있거나 민간에서 구두로 알려진 식품 총 100종을 선정하고, 메탄올 추출물에 대하여 prolyl endopeptidase에 대한 활성 저해율을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 40ppm 농도에서 도토리가 96.0%로 가장 높은 활성 저해율을 보였고, 산딸기가 92.0%, 호두가 73.0%로 나타났으며, 그 외의 나머지 식품들은 56.1%인 녹차를 제외하고는 모두 50% 미만의 수준이었다. 본 연구결과 PEP에 비교적 특이적으로 작용하는 저해제로서 도토리와 산딸기를 확인할 수 있었고, 현재까지 개발되고 보고된 합성 peptide인 PEP저해제와는 달리 천연식품이란 점에서, 앞으로 이 식품들이 항치매 예방 기작 구명에 유용하게 이용됨과 동시에 치매의 예방을 위한 기능성 식품으로서 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
