Abstract

Objectives : Woogakseungmatang is a prescription medication mainly used to treat facial paralysis in Korean medicine. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Woogakseungmatang on anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation. Methods : Woogakseungmatang was extracted using hot water. Cytotoxicity was assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) method; nitric oxide(NO) production and Prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) production in RAW cells treated with Woogakseungmatang were investigated; and the cytokine changes associated with inflammation were examined. The antioxidant capacity of Woogakseungmatang was measured using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Results : RAW cells treated with Woogakseungmatang showed 90% cell viability at a $100-{\mu}g/ml$ concentration. NO production was decreased by 15% at a $100-{\mu}g/ml$ concentration. $PGE_2$ production was decreased by 18% at a $100-{\mu}g/ml$ concentration. Interleukin $1{\beta}$ ($IL-1{\beta}$), interleukin 6(IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$) were significantly reduced at $100{\mu}g/ml$ compared with those in the control group. The DPPH free radical scavenging capability was more than 50% at $100{\mu}g/ml$. Conclusions : Woogakseungmatang showed only a slight anti - inflammatory effect at $100{\mu}g/ml$ and it was difficult to confirm the concentration-dependent anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, this study means to confirm the potential anti-inflammatory effects of Woogakseungmatang. Based on this research, more systematic and diverse studies should be conducted.

목적 : 우각승마탕은 한의학에서 안면마비 등 안면부의 통증 및 마비를 동반하는 질환에 주로 사용하는 처방이다. 본 연구의 목적은 LPS로 염증 반응을 유도한 대식세포에서 우각승마탕의 항염증 및 항산화 효과를 알아 보는 것이다. 방법 : 동의보감 처방에 기반한 우각승마탕을 열수 추출한 후 동결건조 하였다. MTT 방법을 이용하여 세포 독성을 평가하였고, 우각승마탕 추출물을 처리한 RAW 세포에서 NO 생산 및 $PGE_2$ 생성량을 조사 하였다. 또한 염증과 관련된 사이토카인($IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, and $TNF-{\alpha}$)의 생성량 변화를 조사 하였다. 우각승마탕의 항산화 효능은 DPPH 법으로 측정 하였다. 결과 : 우각승마탕 추출물을 처리 한 대식세포는 $100{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 $92.18{\pm}2.97%$의 세포 생존율을 보였다. 150과 $200{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 세포생존율은 각각 $85.39{\pm}1.54$ and $76.11{\pm}2.81%$로 통계적으로 유의한 감소가 있었다. $100{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 NO 생성량은 $85.13{\pm}1.93%$ 였으며, 대조군과 비교하여 유의한 감소가 나타났다. $PGE_2$ 생성량은 $100{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 $82.64{\pm}2.54%$ 이었고, 통계적으로 유의한 감소가 있었다. $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$$100{\mu}g/ml$에서 각각 $85.24{\pm}1.18$, $86.18{\pm}3.37$, $84.20{\pm}3.94%$였으며, 대조군과 비교하여 통계적으로 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. DPPH free radical 소거능은 $100{\mu}g/ml$에서 $50.89{\pm}3.59%$를 나타내었다. 결론 : 본 연구의 결과로 미루어 볼 때 우각승마탕은 세포독성을 보이지 않는 최고 농도인 $100{\mu}g/ml$에서 미약한 항염증 효과를 나타내었고 농도의존적 항염증 효과를 확인되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구는 우각승마탕의 잠재적 항염증 효과를 확인하는 의미가 있었다. 이 연구를 바탕으로 우각승마탕의 안전하고 효과적인 임상적 사용을 위하여 체계적이고 다양한 연구가 수행되어야 할 것이다.
