Abstract

The present study was undertaken in order to investigate betaine production by tissue culture and its medicinal effect in Lycium chinone Mill. In order to ulvestigate the protective effect of L. chinense on the hepatoxicity induced by $CCl_4$, 0.5 g/kg water extract of the compound mixture (leaves, roots and shoots) of L. chinense and its callus were fed to rat (SD line) once a day. As a result, the activity of GOT and GPT in the group fed compound mixture (GOT 760.4 and GPT 540 Karmen unit) and callus (G0T 772.1 and GPT 556.4 Karmen unit) was decreased in the blood serume relative to the controlled rat group (GOT 949 and GPT 640 Karmen unit) and the same result was obtained in the group fed with 0.1 g/kg sylimarin (the activity of GOT and GPT was shown 492.6 and 320.4 Karmen unit respectively. These results strongly indicate that water extracts of the mixture and callus from L. chinense do have the same decreasing effect of GOT and GPT in the hepatotoxic rat induced by $CCl_4$.

구기자의 한방 약리효과를 보기 위하여 구기자 혼합 생체시료와 세포배양한 캘러스로부터 추출한 열수 추출물을 사염화탄소로 유발된 간장해 흰쥐 (SD계)에 하루 0.5 g/kg을 경구 투여한 결과, 대조군 (GOT 949, GPT 640 karmen unit)에 비하여 혼합 생체시료 (GOT 760.4, GPT 540 karmen unit)와 세포배양 캘러스 (COT 772.1, GPT 556.4 karmen unit) 처리구에서 거의 비슷한 혈청 중 GOT, GPT 활성의 상승을 억제하는 효과를 보였으며, 또한 비교약물 sylimarin 0.1 g/kg 투여군에서도 대조군에 비하여 혼합 생체시료 (GOT 492.6, GPT 320.4 karmen unit)와 세포배양 캘러스 (GOT 492.6, GPT 320.4 karmen unit) 처리구에서 거의 비슷한 혈청 중 GOT, GPT 활성의 상승을 억제하는 효과를 보였다. 이상의 결과를 통하여 볼 때 구기자 생체시료와 세포배양 캘러스는 간손상 흰쥐에 대한 간보호 효과가 동일하게 있는 것으로 판단된다.
