Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the effect of Artemisia capillaris extracts on the intestinal microflora. In agar diffusion method, the solvent fractions of Artemisia capillaris showed growth inhibition against the intestinal microflora. In particular, the chloroform fraction of Artemisia capillaris had strong antibacterial activity against Clostridium perfringens, Clostridium difficile, Eubacterium limosum, and Bacteroides fragilis, but did not show antibacterial activity against Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Most chloroform fraction of Artemisia capillaris inhibitory activities were not reduced by heat treatment or pH variation against C. perfringens, C. difficile, E. limosum, and B. fragilis. MICs of the chloroform fraction were 1.25 mg/mL against C. perfringens, E. limosum and B. fragilis and 2.5 mg/mL against C. difficile. MBCs of chloroform fraction were 5 mg/mL against C. perfringens, E. limosum and 2.5 mg/mL against C. difficile, B. fragilis. The ethyl acetate fraction of Artemisia capillaris showed $3.08{\pm}0.03$ mg/10 mg total polyphenol and $1.91{\pm}0.03$ mg/10 mg total flavonoid contents. In vivo tests were performed to investigate the influence of Artemisia capillaris extract on the intestinal microflora in rats. The results showed the possibilities of utilizing Artemisia capillaris extracts as a functional food component to control intestinal microflora.

본 실험은 인진쑥의 용매 분획물에 대하여 항균활성을 검색하였다. 이에 따라 가장 항균활성이 좋은 인진쑥의 클로로포름 분획물을 가지고 항균활성실험을 진행하였고, 기능성 물질인 페놀류의 함량 정도에 따라 항균활성을 보여주는 지에 대하여 총 폴리페놀과 총 플라보노이드 함량을 분석하였고, in vivo 실험을 통하여 장내미생물 균총의 변화를 확인하였다. 인진쑥 에탄올 추출물을 헥산, 클로로포름, 에틸아세테이트, 부탄올로 분획하여 용매 분획물을 가지고 항균활성을 검색한 결과, paper disc agar diffusion법에서 장내유해균인 C. perfringens, C. difficile, E. limosum 및 B. fragilis 모두가 다른 용매 분획물들에 비해 클로로포름 분획물에서 생육 억제환의 크기가 가장 크게 생성되었다. 장내유익균인 B. bifidum, L. acidophilus는 인진쑥의 헥산, 클로로포름, 에틸아세테이트, 부탄올, 물 분획물에서 억제환이 생성되지 않은 결과를 보여주었다. 동물실험 결과, 인진쑥 추출물은 일반식이군에 비하여 비만식이군에서 장내유해균을 억제하고 장내 유익균을 증진시키는 결과를 보여주었다. 상기 결과들을 종합해 볼 때, 인진쑥 추출물은 장내 유해균은 억제시키고, 장내 유익균은 증식시키거나 별다른 영향을 주지 않는 결과, 인체 장내 균총 조성을 바람직한 방향으로 개선시켜 장내 기능을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대되고 인진쑥 추출물의 장내유해세균에 대한 항균효과를 확인함으로써 장내균총 개선을 위한 기능성식품으로 활용할 가치가 있는 것으로 사료된다.
