Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate the in vivo single-dose acute toxicity of Leuconostoc citreum GR1 (Leuc. citreum GR1), a lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, in ICR male and female mice. The test article was orally administered once to both sexes of mice. The mortalities, clinical findings, autopsy findings, and body weight changes were monitored daily for two weeks. The male and female mice were gavaged with Leuc. kimchi GR1 of four doses (625, 1,250. 2,500 and 5,000 mg/kg). The oral $LD_{50}$ of Leuc. citreum GR1 was considered higher than 5,000 mg/kg. No significant changes in the general conditions, body weights, clinical signs and presence of gross lesions were observed in both sexes of mice to whom Leuc. citreum GR1 was administered orally. The results indicated that the 5,000 mg/kg dose of Leuc. citreum GR1 showed no adverse effect.

본 연구는 김치에서 분리한 우수한 항균활성을 나타내는 Leuc. citreum GR1을 분리하여 단기투여에 의한 안전성을 확인하고자 식품의약품안전청의 의약품 등의 독성시험기준에 따라 실시하였다. 시험물질인 Leuc. citreum GR1의 임상적용 경로가 구강이므로 경구투여용 존데를 사용하여 단회 경구 투여를 수행하였으며, 투여용량은 단회 경구투여 최고용량인 5,000 mg/kg을 고농도로 설정하였다. 급성독성시험을 위하여 경구 1회 시험물질을 625, 1,250, 2,500 및 5,000 mg/kg 투여 용량으로 하여 ICR계 암 수 마우스에게 용량별 각 군당 10마리씩 시험물질을 투여한 후 14일간의 일반증상, 사망률, 체중, 임상증상 및 육안적 소견을 관찰하였다. 단회 경구투여한 후 모든 시험군에서 사망례가 관찰되지 않았으며, 시험동물은 시험 종료 시까지 계속 생존하여 평균치사량을 산출할 수 없었다. 경구투여한 후 마우스의 체중변화에 있어서도 암 수 모두 대조군과 시료물질 투여군 사이에 유의성 있는 차이는 보이지 않았으며, 용량 의존적인 차이도 볼 수 없었다. 단회 경구구투여 후 시험 종료한 다음 생존동물 모두를 부검하여 주요 장기의 육안적 소견을 관찰한 결과 대조군과 시료투여군 모두에서 외관상이나 내부 장기에 어떠한 이상소견이나 병변이 관찰되지 않았다. 이상의 결과로부터 시험물질인 Leuc. citreum GR1는 경구투여 시 ICR계 암 수 마우스에서 독성학적인 변화가 관찰되지 않았으며, 경구투여가 5,000 mg/kg 이상인 저독성의 안전한 물질로 사료된다.
