Abstract

In previous studies, we evaluated the effect of the 6 energy-tonic or blood-building prescriptions of traditional oriental medicine, and observed that Si-Wu-Tang and Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang showed high activity in the protection of the gastrointestinal and hematopoietic organs in irradiated mice. But any of these prescriptions did not show a high activity in the activation of the immune cells. We performed this study to design an herb mixture which protects the self-renewal tissues and also promotes recovery of the immune system against radiation damage. In order to meet all the requirements, we designed a new mixture of 3 edible herbs listed in Korean Food Code. The mixture of Angelim gigas radix, Cnidium officinale rhizoma and Paeonia japonica radix was decocted with hot water, and the activities of the water extract (HIM-I) were evaluated. HIM-1 stimulated the immune cells in a much higher extent than the traditional prescriptions, and promoted dramatically the growth of bone marrow stem cells in vitro. Also, HIM-1 protected digestive and hematopoietic organs against radiation as effectively as the 2 prescriptions, Si-Wu-Tang and Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang. On the other hand, it showed high in vitro antioxidative activity that might be considered as a mechanism of the protective effects against radiation. Although the detailed mechanisms of those effects remain to be elucidated, these results indicated that HIM-I might be a useful agent for protection and recovery of body from various risk factor as well as radiation, especially since it is a relatively nontoxic natural product.

방사선 생체손상의 방어 및 회복에 높은 효과를 나타내는 생약조합을 도출하고자 하였다. 이전의 연구에서 6가지 기존 보기${\cdot}$보혈 한약처방제의 방어효과를 검색하여, 재생조직 방어에는 사물탕 및 보중익기탕이, 조혈계 방어에는 보중익기탕 및 사물탕이 높은 효과를 나타내는 것으로 보고된바 있다. 본 연구에서 기존 6가지 처방제의 면역 세포 활성화 효과를 검색한 결과 모두 높은 효과를 나타내지 않았다. 따라서, 처방제의 구성 생약 각각의 효과검증 결과를 바탕으로 재생조직 방어, 조혈계 방어, 면역조혈계 회복 증진 효과를 동시에 높게 나타내는 새로운 생약조합을 도출하였다. 즉, 당귀, 천궁, 백작약을 동일 무게 비율로 혼합하여 열수 추출한 것을 새로운 생약복합물 HIM-I으로 개발하였으며 그 효과를 검정하였다. 본 생약복합물 HIM-I은 면역 세포 활성화에서는 상기한 한약처방제보다 월등하게 높은 효과를 보였으며, 조혈계 촉진효과도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 재생조직 및 면역조혈계의 방어 측면에서도 사물탕 및 보중익기탕과 같은 높은 효과를 보였다. 한편, 시험관 내에서 높은 항산화 효과를 나타내는 것으로 보아, 이 항산화 작용이 방사선 손상에 대한 방어효과의 작용기전 중의 하나로 생각되었다. 이상의 결과로 보아, 생약복합물 HIM-I은 재생조직방어, 조혈계 방어, 면역조혈계 회복 증진 효과를 동시에 나타냄으로써 방사선뿐만 아니라 여러 가지 원인으로부터 생체를 방호하고 회복시키는데 유용할 것으로 생각된다.
