Abstract

In our study, as many as 29 edible medicinal herbs were selected for testing their ability in the effective treatment of gout based on oriental medicine theory. We extracted each medicinal herb (135 g) with 4 L of distilled water at $100{\sim}105^{\circ}C$ for 210 min. Thereafter, we evaluated both the antioxidant and xanthine oxidase inhibition activities of the extracts obtained. Among all the edible medicinal herbs used in our study, only the extract from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Korean name: hwang-geum) showed (1) the maximum total phenolic content (TPC) (2.25 mg gallic acid equivalent/mL), (2) DPPH radical scavenging activity (94.04%), and (3) xanthine oxidase inhibition activity (87.75%). We also observed that TPC was relatively highly correlated with both the DPPH radical scavenging activity (r=0.63) and xanthine oxidase inhibition activity (r=0.77). Our results suggest that S. baicalensis G. may be a potent antioxidant source for the extraction and development of nutraceuticals that may be utilized for effective treatment of gout.

통풍 증상을 개선하고 예방 및 치료에 효과를 확인하여 이를 일상생활에 지장을 주지 않고 장기간 쉽게 복용하기에 적합한 식품 소재를 발굴하기 위하여 한의학 및 식품 관련 서적에서 통풍 개선 및 치료 효과가 있어 널리 사용되고 있는 29가지 식용 가능 한약재를 선별하였다. 각 한약재의 열수추출액의 총 페놀 함량, DPPH 라디칼 소거능, ABTS 라디칼 소거능, xanthine oxidase 저해능을 측정한 결과, 황금추출액이 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과는 황금추출액을 주 소재로 하여 항산화능과 통증 개선에 유용한 식품 개발에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
