Abstract

Korean traditional medicinal herbs have been reported to possess antioxidant and anti-hyperglycemic activities. We tested the antioxidant and anti-hyperglycemic activities of 6 kinds of medicinal herbs: Angelica gigas N., Poria cocos, Mori radicis Cortex, Mori folium, Aralia elata Cortex, and Panax ginseng, prepared as hot water, ethanol, and sonication extracts. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were examined by performing total polyphenol, total flavonoid, and ${\alpha}$,${\alpha}$-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays. For M. folium, the ethanol extract showed the strongest effects in DPPH radical scavenging activity among the three extraction methods. In addition, sonication extracts of M. radicis Cortex and M. folium showed the highest inhibitory activities for ${\alpha}$-glucosidase among the different extracts. The ethanol extracts of M. folium had the highest inhibition effects against ${\alpha}$-amylase. A direct correlation between antioxidant and anti-hyperglycemic inhibition activity was found in the ethanol and sonication extracts. From the results, it is considered that these six medicinal herbal extracts have antioxidative, anti-hyperglycemic, and correlation effects based on different extraction methods.

본 연구에서는 예로부터 전해 내려오는 당뇨처방전에 사용되고 있는 문헌고찰을 토대로 6종의 약용식물(당귀, 백복령, 상백피, 상엽, 총목피 및 홍삼)의 항산화 및 항당뇨 활성을 비교 검토하고 이들의 상관관계를 검토하여 가장 효과적인 추출방법을 조사하였다. 당귀의 열수와 에탄올 추출물에서 각각 39.43와 37.75%로 다른 시료에 비하여 추출수율이 높았다. 폴리페놀 함량은 상백피 에탄올추출물에서 가장 높았고, 홍삼 초음파추출물에서 가장 낮았다. 플라보노이드 함량과 DPPH $RC_{50}$ 값은 상엽에탄올 추출물에서 가장 우수하였다. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase저해활성은 상엽과 상백피 초음파추출물에서 높았고 추출방법 따른 저해율은 차이를 보였으나 세가지 추출물 모두 acarbose보다 높은 활성을 보였다. ${\alpha}$-Amylase저해활성은 상엽 에탄올추출물에서 가장 높은 저해활성을 보였고, 상백피와 백복령 에탄올추출물에서도 acarbose와 비슷한 결과를 보였다. 항산화 활성과 항당뇨 저해활성의 상관성은 에탄올 추출물과 초음파 추출물에서 유의적인 상관관계를 보였다. 에탄올 추출물에서 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase저해활성에 대한 폴리페놀 함량 또는 플라보노이드 함량과는 양의 상관관계($r^2$=0.792, 0.588)를 보였고, ${\alpha}$-amylase저해활성에 대한 플라보노이드 함량 또는 DPPH 소거능의 $RC_{50}$ 값에서도 음의 상관관계($r^2$=0.918, -0.594)를 나타내었다. 또한 ${\alpha}$-amylase 저해활성과 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase저해활성에서는 양의 상관관계($r^2$=0.746)를 보였다. 초음파 추출물에서는 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase저해활성에 대해 폴리페놀 함량과 플라보노이드 함량에서만 양의 상관관계($r^2$=0.763, 0.618)를 보였다. 항산화능에서의 상관관계를 살펴 본 결과 열수, 에탄올 및 초음파추출물에서 모두 폴리페놀 함량과 플라보노이드 함량, DPPH $RC_{50}$ 값과 유의적으로 높은 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 약용식물이 추출방법에 따른 항산화, 항당뇨 활성과 상관성에 차이를 보이고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
