Abstract

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a group of positional and geometric isomers of linoleic acid with conjugated double bonds at C9,C11 and C10,C12 positions. Of possible CLA isomers, a naturally occurring CLA isomer is c9,t11-CLA which is produced from linoleic acid by linoleate isomerase from various rumen and lactic bacteria, and mushroom mycelia. Meanwhile, synthetically prepared CLA contained an equal amount of c9,t11-CLA and t10,c12-CLA isomers, and other isomers as minor constituents. CLA was firstly mentioned in 1939 during the elaidinization reaction of linoleic acid. Thereafter, CLA was not an attractant to scientists because it was not scientifically interested any more. However, since the anticarcinogenic action was driven from 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mouse skin carcinogenesis in 1987, CLA-related researches were drastically elevated, resulting in approximately 6,100 research papers in literature, so far. CLA exhibited the significant biological activities: anticarcinogenic, antidiabetic, antihypertensive, antiatherosclerotic, body-fat reducing, antioxidative, antiinflammatory, testosterone producing and other activities. Interestingly, two major CLA isomers, c9,t11-CLA and t10,c12-CLA, exhibited different biological activities. Meanwhile, t,t-CLA isomers which is minor constituent of chemically synthesized CLA from linoleic acid exhibited more potent anticarcinogenic activity in carcinogen-induced animal models and cancer cell lines than other CLA isomrs. In the present review, the significant biological activities of CLA were discussed along with historical studies of CLA since 1939.

CLA는 탄소가 18개(C18)인 linoleic acid의 이중결합이 C9,C11; C10,C12 위치로 이동됨으로 생성되는 입체이성(c,c; c,t; t,c; t,t)체를 총괄적으로 일컷는 말이다. 이론적으로 가능한 이성체 중에서 c9,t11-CLA가 rumen bacteria, lactic bacteria, 버섯균 등의 linoleate isomerase에 의해 linoleic acid로부터 생합성된다. 그러나 linoleic acid를 알카리 이성화로 합성한 CLA에는 이론적으로 가능한 모든 CLA 이성체가 존재한다. 그 중 c9,t11-CLA와 t10,c12-CLA가 약 45%씩 동일량 존재한다. CLA가 1939 년 linoleic acid의 elaidinization 반응에서 처음으로 소개되었으나 그 이후에는 과학적인 이용가치가 없어 과학자들의 관심의 대상이 되지 않았다. 그러나 1987년에 CLA가 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)으로 유도한 mouse skin carcinogenesis에서 항암성이 있다는 보고 이후 CLA에 관한 연구는 급속도로 증가하여 현재까지 약 6,100 연구논문이 발표되었다. CLA와 c9,t11-CLA 및 t10,c12-CLA 이성체는 in vitro와 in vivo에서 항암성, 항당뇨성, 항혈압성, 항동맥경화성, 면역증강성, 항산화성, 체지방감소성, testosterone 생산성 등의 생물학적 기능이 갖는다고 밝혀졌다. 이들 생리활성에 c9,t11-CLA와 t10,c12-CLA가 in vitro와 in vivo에서 다른 활성을 보이고 있다. 특히, 합성 CLA에 소량 혼합되어 있는 t,t-CLA가 carcinogen으로 유도한 동물모델이나 암세포에서 다른 이성체 보다 강한 항암성을 보이는 결과는 앞으로 더 많은 연구의 대상이 될 것이다. 본 총설에서는 CLA 관련 연구가 시작된 1939년부터 현재까지의 CLA 연구 트렌드를 살펴보고 밝혀진 주요 기능성을 보고한다.
