Abstract

The free radical scavenging activities of extracts from Ligustrum ovalifolium H. leaves (LOH) as well as various antioxidant activities such as ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, reducing power and lipid peroxidation inhibition were evaluated by electron spin resonance (ESR). The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the water and ethanolic extracts from LOH were $105.5{\pm}1.31$ and $102.1{\pm}1.82$ mg gallic acid equivalent/g extract, respectively, and $84{\pm}1.72$ and $82.8{\pm}1.65$ mg catechin equivalent/g extract. In addition, $IC_{50}$ values for the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryldrazyl (DPPH), alkyl, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of the water and ethanolic extracts were $0.021{\pm}0.002$ and $0.010{\pm}0.003$ mg/mL, $0.011{\pm}0.003$ and $0.012{\pm}0.002$ mg/mL, and $0.395{\pm}0.002$ and $0.443{\pm}0.002$ mg/mL, respectively. The ABTS radical scavenging activities of the water and ethanolic extracts from LOH and BHT were $0.073{\pm}0.12$, $0.130{\pm}0.06$ and $1.461{\pm}0.02$ mM Trolox equivalent/mg extract, respectively. The FRAP values of the extracts from LOH were higher than those of BHT, which was used as a positive control. The LOH extracts showed strong inhibitory effects on lipid peroxidation as measured by ferric thiocyanate (FTC) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay compared to that of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. Using MTT assay on human liver cells (Chang), extracts from LOH showed no toxicity at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL. These results indicate that the LOH extracts possessed antioxidant activity.

본 연구는 왕쥐똥나무잎(Ligustrum ovalifolium H.) 추출물의 항산화 활성을 탐색하고자 물과 에탄올로 각각 추출하였다. 왕쥐똥나무잎에 포함된 총 폴리페놀과 총 플라보노이드 함량을 측정한 결과, 물 추출물($105.5{\pm}1.31$ mg GAE/g extract)과 에탄올 추출물($102.1{\pm}1.82$ mg GAE/g extract)은 비슷한 총 폴리페놀 함량을 함유하고 있었으며, 총 플라보노이드 함량 또한 물 추출물($84{\pm}1.72$ mg CE/g extract)과 에탄올 추출물($82.8{\pm}1.65$ mg CE/g extract)이 비슷한 양을 함유하고 있었다. ESR을 이용한 라디칼 소거능을 측정한 결과, hydroxyl 라디칼을 제외한 DPPH, alkyl 라디칼 소거능은 물 추출물 및 에탄올 추출물 모두 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 특히 alkyl 라디칼 소거능은 비타민 C와 같은 활성을 나타내었다. ABTS를 이용한 라디칼 소거활성, FRAP을 이용한 총항산화능 측정 및 환원력을 통한 항산화 활성을 측정한 결과에서도 왕쥐똥나무잎 추출물이 뛰어난 항산화효과를 가지고 있음이 확인되었다. 특히, FTC 및 TBA법을 이용한 지질과산화 억제 효능을 살펴본 결과, 왕쥐똥나무잎 물추출물과 에탄올 추출물 모두 지질과산화 억제효과가 높았으며 ${\alpha}$-토코페롤보다 활성이 훨씬 우수하였다. 한편, 세포독성을 살펴보기 위하여 정상 간세포(human liver, Chang cells)를 이용하여 MTT assay를 통한 세포의 생존율을 살펴본 결과 물 추출물 및 에탄올 추출물 모두 0.5 mg/mL의 농도까지 전혀 독성을 나타내지 않았다. 따라서 이 연구를 바탕으로 앞으로 왕쥐똥나무잎을 이용한 천연 항산화제로서의 가능성에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
