Abstract

Anticandidial activity of seven herbal extracts, Taraxacum Platycarpum, Houttuyniae Herba, Lonicerae Flos, Anemarrhena Rhizome, Forsythia Fruit, Paeoniae Ratix, and Coptidis Rhizoma, were determined against five different Candida sp. by agar diffusion assay. The concentration of total phenolic compounds of seven herbal extracts ranged from 0.6 to $2.5{\mu}g/mg$. The total antioxidant activities showed that Taraxacum Platycarpum and Houttuyniae Herba were 60% in 80% ethanol extract and Lonicera Flower and Paeoniae Ratix were 70, 75%, respectively, in 100% ethanol extract. Coptidis Rhizoma extract showed antifungal activity against non-Candida albicans, C. tropicalis and C. glabrata. The MIC values of a compound separated in TLC from Coptidis Rhizoma extract were 24, and $48{\mu}g/mL$ against C. tropicalis and C. glabrata. The above compound showed the same retention time with berberin in HPLC analysis.

본 연구에서는 여성의 질염을 일으키는 칸디다증 병원균에 대한 항진균 성분을 한약재에서 조사하였다. 한약재에 ethanol을 이용하여 phenol 성분을 추출하고, 추출물의 phenol 함량을 출정하였다. Ethanol농도에 따른 phenol성 물질의 용출량은 시료마다 다른 양상을 보이고 있는데, 40% ethanol 농도에서 가장 높은 용출량은 어성초, 지모, 금은화 등이며, 60% ethanol에서 가장 높은 용출량은 포공영, 작약 등이다. 황련은 80% ethanol 농도에서는 낮은 용출량을 보이나 다른 농도에서는 비슷한 용출량을 보이고 있고, 연교는 80% ethanol에서 높은 용출량을 보였다. 전자공여능은 ethanol 농도별 추출물에 따라 다르게 나타나고 있는데, 포공영은 80% ethanol 추출물 이상에서 전자공여 능을 보이며, 황련, 지모, 금은화는 100%의 ethanol추출물에서 전자공여능을 보였다. 한약재 추출물의 항균활성은 C. albicans는 황련 추출물 $200{\mu}g/mL$농도로 주입하였을 때 3mm의 저해환을 나타내었으며, C. tropicalis는 포공영 추출물을 $200{\mu}g/mL$ 농도로 주입시 2mm, 어성초 추출물을 $200{\mu}g/mL$ 농도로 주입시 2mm, 작약 추출물을 $200{\mu}g/mL$ 주입시 3 mm 저해환을 나타내었다. 황련 추출물은 50, 100, 150, $200{\mu}g/mL$ 농도로 주입시 2, 3, 6, 9mm의 저해환을 나타내었다. 추출물을 이용한 C. glabrata, C. parapsilesis, C. utils 3개 종에 대한 항균활성은 나타나지 않았다. 황련 추출물에서 항균성분은 TLC와 HPLC 분석을 통하여 berberin인 것으로 나타났다.
