Abstract

To search for antioxidative compounds from plant resources, methanol extracts of 45 plant species were investigated using DPPH method. The highest activity was shown in the methanol extract of Acer ginnala($RC_{50}\;:\;15{\mu}g$), followed by Stewartia koreana($RC_{50}\;:\;28{\mu}g$) and Carpinus laxiflora($RC_{50}\;:\;33{\mu}g$). Two antioxidative compounds were isolated from the methanolic extract of Acer ginnala Max and identified as acertannin(2, 6-di-O-galloyl-1, 5-anhydro-D-glucitol) and gallicin (methyl-3, 4, 5-trihydroxybenzoic acid) on the basis of mass spectroscopy, $^1H-\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$ data. The DPPH free radical scavenging activities of acertannin($RC_{50}\;:\;3.5{\mu}g$) and gallicin($RC_{50}\;:\;2.8{\mu}g$) were more effective than those of BHA($RC_{50}\;:\;14{\mu}g$) and ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ ($RC_{50}\;:\;12{\mu}g$).

약용식물을 비롯하여 45종 식물체 지상부의 MeOH추출물을 대상으로 DPPH free radical소거법을 이용하여 항산화활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 신나무(Acer ginnala Max.)의 추출물에서 가장 강한 활성$(RC_{50}\;:\;15{\mu}g)$을 보였으며, 노각나무(Stewartia koreana, $RC_{50}\;:\;28{\mu}g$)와 서어나무(Carpinus laxiflora, $RC_{50}\;:\;33{\mu}g$)에서도 활성이 비교적 높았다. 신나무의 지상부로부터 DPPH free radical 소거 활성을 지표로 2개의 항산화 활성 물질을 분리하였다. 활성물질을 각종 기기분석을 통하여 3, 6-di-O-galloyl-1, 5-anhydro-D-glucitol(acertannin)과methyl-3, 4, 5-trihydroxybenzoate(gallicin)로 동정 하였다. acertannin($RC_{50}\;:\;3.5{\mu}g$)과 gallicin($RC_{50}\;:\;2.8{\mu}g$)은 기지의 항산화 물질인 BHA($RC_{50}\;:\;14{\mu}g$), vitamin E($RC_{50}\;:\;12{\mu}g$)보다 강한 항산화활성을 나타냈다.
