Abstract

Mistlero C was shown to be non-genotoxic in a series of genotoxicity tests, including a bacterial reverse mutation test and a combined in vivo mammalian erythrocyte micronucleus test. In a bacterial reverse mutation assay, no significant increases in the number of revertant colonies, compared to the negative control, was detected in $5,000{\mu}g/plate$ of Mistlero C. In addition, with Mistlero C, no changes were shown in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCE) among 2,000 polychromatic erythrocytes compared to the negative control. Mistlero C was administered orally in rats to investigate acute toxicity. The $LD_{50}$ values in rats were above 2,000 mg/kg. In a repeated dose, 13-week, oral toxicity study conducted in rats, no compound-related adverse effects were shown at doses of Mistlero C of up to 1,000 mg/kg body weight/day. The results of these studies support the safe use of Mistlero C in food for human consumption.

본 연구에서는 겨우살이 열수 추출물인 미슬로 C의 안전성을 검토하고자 유전 독성 및 실험동물을 이용한 안전성 검사를 실시하였다. 미슬로 C의 미생물 돌연변이 실험을 S. typhimurium의 히스티딘 요구성 균주와 E. coli의 트립토판 요구성 균주를 이용하여 대사 활성계 적용 및 비적용 하에서 복귀돌연변이 시험을 실시한 바, $5,000{\mu}g/plate$의 처리 농도까지 복귀돌연변이 집락은 나타나지 않았다. ICR 마우스에게 500, 1,000 및 2,000 mg/kg를 경구 투여하고, 골수세포를 수집하여 소핵을 측정한 결과, 정상마우스의 경우와 비교하여 유의한 소핵은 관찰되지 않았기에 미슬로 C는 유전독성을 유발하지 않는 것으로 판단되었다. 식품의약안전청의 의약품 등의 독성시험기준에 따라 암 수 SD 계열의 랫드에 시험물질을 0, 500, 1,000 및 2,000 mg/kg/day의 용량으로 1회 경구 투여한 후, 14일간의 체중 변화 및 사망률을 조사한 결과, 대조군과 비교하여 유의한 체중 변화는 없었으며, $LD_{50}$은 2,000 mg/kg 이상인 것으로 사료된다. 또한 0, 250, 500 및 1,000 mg/kg/day의 용량으로 13주간 반복 투여하면서 실험동물의 일반증상, 체중변화, 혈액 및 혈액생화학적 변화, 부검소견, 조직학적인 변화를 관찰하였다. 시험기간 중 암 수 모든 군에서 시험물질 투여에 기인한 일반적인 증상 변화는 관찰되지 않았고, 시험물질의 반복 투여로 인한 사망 마우스 역시 관찰되지 않았다. 따라서 미슬로 C를 13주간의 랫드에 대한 13주 반복 경구 투여 결과, 무독성량은 최소한 1,000 mg/kg 이하인 결과를 나타냈으며, 이 농도에서 독성을 유발하는 표적장기는 관찰되지 않았다.
