Abstract

In this study, a preliminary evaluation of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of the Ficus erecta var. sieboldii (Miq.) King (FES) leaf extract has been performed to assess its potential as a natural resource for food and medicinal materials. FES was extracted using 70% EtOH and then fractionated sequentially using n-hexane, $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc, and n-BuOH. To screen for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents effectively, the inhibitory effect of the FES extracts on the production of oxidant stresses (DPPH, xanthine oxidase, and superoxide) and pro-inflammatory factors (NO, iNOS, COX-2, $PGE_2$, IL-6, and $IL-1{\beta}$) in the murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 activated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was examined. Among the sequential solvent fractions of FES, the $CH_2Cl_2$ and EtOAc fractions showed decreased production of oxidant stresses (DPPH, xanthine oxidase and superoxide), and the hexane and $CH_2Cl_2$ fractions of FES inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory factors (NO, iNOS, COX-2, and $PGE_2$). The $CH_2Cl_2$ fraction also inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines ($TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6, and $IL-1{\beta}$). These results suggest that FES has a significant effects on the production of oxidant stresses and pro-inflammatory factors and may be used a natural resource for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents.

본 연구는 좁은잎천선과나무 잎 추출물을 식의약품 소재 등 천연물 소재로 활용하기 위하여 항산화 및 항염증 활성에 대한 예비 평가를 기술하였다. 좁은잎천선과나무는 70% 에탄올을 사용하여 추출한 다음 헥산, 디클로로메탄, 에틸아세테이트 및 부탄올을 사용하여 순차적으로 분획하였다. 항산화 및 항염증제 효과를 효과적으로 스크리닝하기 위해 좁은잎천선과나무 잎 추출물이 산화 스트레스(DPPH, xanthine oxidase and superoxide) 생성에 미치는 억제 효과를 확인하였다. 또한, LPS로 활성화된 대식세포 RAW 264.7 세포에서 염증성 인자(NO, iNOS, COX-2, $PGE_2$, IL-6 and $IL-1{\beta}$)의 생성에 대한 좁은잎천선과나무 잎 추출물의 억제 효과를 확인하였다. 좁은잎천선과 나무 잎 추출물의 용매분획물 중 디클로로메탄과 에틸아세테이트 분획물은 산화 스트레스(DPPH, xanthine oxidase and superoxide)의 생성 감소가 있었고, 좁은잎천선과나무 잎 추출물의 헥산과 디클로로메탄 분획물은 염증 유발인자(NO, iNOS, COX-2, $PGE_2$, IL-6, and $IL-1{\beta}$)의 생성을 억제하였다. 또한, 디클로로메탄 분획물은 염증성 사이토카인($TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6, and $IL-1{\beta}$)의 생성을 억제하였다. 이러한 결과는 좁은잎천선과나무 잎 추출물이 산화 스트레스 및 염증 유발 인자에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있어 산화방지제 및 항염증제와 같은 천연물 소재로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
