Abstract

Prevention of postprandial hyperglycemia is important, as it is implicated in the development of macro- and microvascular complications associated with diabetes. An inhibitor of ${\alpha}$-amylase which acts in the first step of carbohydrate digestion, is expected to be a suppressor of postprandial hyperglycemia. This study investigated the porcine pancreatic ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activity of the extracts from buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) flower, leaf, stem and grain. Flower, leaf, stem and grain of buckwheat were extracted by water and ethanol (40%, 70%, 100%), respectively. Flower and leaf extracts were more effective ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitors than stem and grain extracts in all tested solutions. Ethanol extracts were more effective than water extracts or powders on the ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activities. At concentrations of $0.5%{\sim}10%$ (w/w, starch basis), the flower extracts of 40%, 70% and 100% ethanol lowered the enzyme activity by about 90% and the results were similar to the values of acarbose. At the same concentrations, the leaf extracts of 100% ethanol lowered the enzyme activity by about 90%. These results suggest that buckwheat flower and leaf ethanol extracts may delay carbohydrate digestion and lower postprandial hyperglycemia.

본 연구는 전분 가수분해효소인 ${\alpha}$-amylase의 효소활성 저해를 통해 식후 혈당조절제 개발 가능성을 확인하고자 메밀의 꽃, 잎, 줄기 및 곡립을 부위별로 분류하고 각각의 시료를 물, 40%, 70%, 100% 에탄올로 추출하고 건조한 추출건조물과 메밀건조 분말시료를 이용하여 in vitro에서 ${\alpha}$-amylase 활성 저해율을 측정하였다. 메밀부위별 물추출건조물(10%, w/w, starch basis)의 ${\alpha}$-amylase 활성 저해율은 꽃 66%, 잎 65%, 곡립 28%, 줄기 12% 순이었다. 이러한 결과는 추출 용매를 40%, 70%, 100% 에탄올로 하였을 때에도 유사하게 나타났다. 단지 잎추출건조물의 경우 70% 에탄올추출건조물의 효소활성 저해율이 100%와 40% 에탄올추출건조물보다 낮게 나타났다. 메밀 꽃과 잎 추출건조물을 기질의 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 2.5%, 5%, 10% 농도로 각각 첨가했을 때 에탄올로 추출한 꽃추출건조물의 경우 $0.5%{\sim}10%$ 농도에서 ${\alpha}$-amylase 활성을 약 90% 저해하였으며 이는 ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitor인 acarbose와 유사한 수준이었다. 잎의 경우 100% 에탄올추출건조물에서 꽃과 비슷한 결과를 보였으며 40% 에탄올추출건조물에서는 꽃추출건조물보다 저해율이 다소 낮게 나타났다. 물추출건조물과 건조분말의 경우 에탄올추출물보다 꽃과 잎의 효소활성 저해율이 낮았다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 메밀 꽃과 잎 추출건조물은 메밀 줄기 및 곡립 추출 건조물과 비교해서 효소활성 저해율이 높게 나타났으며, 물 추출이나 건조분말보다 100%, 40% 에탄올을 이용했을 때 추출건조물의 효소 저해율이 더욱 큰 것으로 나타나 이들 추출건조물은 식후 혈당조절제로 이용 가능성이 기대되는 소재로 사료된다.
