Abstract

Biological activities of the hot water and ethanol extracts from Opuntia humifusa cladodes were investigated. 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hadrazyl (DPPH) electron donating ability of hot water and ethanol extracts was 79.07 and 82.54%, respectively. Hot water extract generally showed better cytotoxic activity than ethanol extract against each cell line. HeLa and AGS cell lines treated with hot water extract had more than 50% cytotoxic activities. Based on the antimicrobial activities against four microbial strains, both extracts inhibited growth of Staphylococcus aureus KCCM 11593, whereas affected cell growth of three other microorganisms, Escherichia coli (KCCM 11234), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), and Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 11862), in proportion to the concentration of extracts. The inflammatory activities against hot water extract (34.31%) showed higher than that of ethanol extract (25.59%). The effect of extracts on 3T3-L1 preadipocytes differentiation showed that differentiation of treated group with 80 and 100 ${\mu}g/mL$ of hot and ethanol extracts were increased more than treated group with isobutyl methyl xanthine (IBMX) + dexamethasone. These results indicate that the O. humifusa cladodes extracts can be used as a functional material due to their effective biological activities.

손바닥 선인장(Opuntia humifusa) 줄기 열수와 75% 에탄올 추출물의 일부 생리활성을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. DPPH 전자공여능은 열수 추출물에서 79.07%, 에탄올 추출물에서 82.54%를 보였다. 각 세포주에 대한 세포독성은 열수 추출물이 에탄올 추출물을 처리(100 ${\mu}g/well$)한 경우에서 보다 전반적으로 높게 나타났다. 열수 추출물은 HeLa와 AGS 세포주에서 50% 이상 세포 독성을 나타내었다. 항균 효과를 조사한 결과 그람 음성세균인 S. aureus KCCM 11593에 대해서는 물과 75% 에탄올 추출물에 있어서 항균효과를 나타내었으나 나머지 세균에 있어서는 항균 효과가 없었으며, 오히려 세포 생장효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 NO 생성 저해 효과에 있어서는 물 추출물(34.31%)이 에탄올 추출물(25.59%)에서 보다 더 항염증효과가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 전구지방세포(3T3-L-1)의 분화에 미치는 영향에서는 처리 농도가 증가할수록 지방세포의 분화가 증가되어 물과 에탄올 추출물 모두 80과 100 ${\mu}g/mL$처리구 에서는 분화촉진제인 IBMX + dexamethasone의 처리구보다 다소 높은 분화정도를 보였다. 이와 같은 결과로 볼 때 천년초 줄기는 항염, 항균, 항산화, 항암효과에서 우수한 활성을 나타내어 앞으로 여러 가지 유용한 기능성 식품과 화장품 소재로의 개발을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
