Abstract

Centella asiatica (L.) Urban is a medicinal plant containing madecassic acid, triterpenoids and asiaticoside, and has a wound healing effect. However, since it grows only in some regions of Korea, it is necessary to breed stable varieties. In this study, it were analyzed for the growth characteristics, asiaticoside, anxiodant components and 2,2-diphenyl-1picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavening activity of C. asiatica collected from domestic natural habitat (Hapcheon, Gyeongnam). In the growth characteristics of each resource, CA9 and CA10 were superior in characteristics of aerial part and in dry weight. In asiaticoside content analysis, CA5 and CA3 were high with 53.96 mg/g and 52.40 mg/g, respectively. CA12 showed the possibility of development because the resource showed high in total flavonoid (7.3 mg/g), total polyphenol (10.64 mg/g) and DPPH activity (11.96 mg AAE/g) among other resources. However, it is necessary to select a resource suitable for each characteristic of C. asiatica and to study charateristics through additional resources collection since the excellent growth characteristics of the collected resources do not necessarily coincide with the content and antioxidant activities.

본 연구에서는 경남 합천에서 수집한 병풀 12 자원을 대상으로 생육적 특성, 주요성분 함량, 항산화성분 및 활성 분석을 통해 우수한 특성을 지닌 병풀 자원의 확보 및 특성 분석을 위한 기초 연구로써 진행되었다. 수집 자원 중 생육적 특성이 우수한 품종은 CA10, CA9, CA1, CA4 및 CA12 였고, 그중에서도 특히 CA10이 건물중이 높았으며 지표성분인 asiaticoside 함량이 높은 자원은 CA5와 CA3 이었다. 또한, 항산화 성분인 총 폴리페놀과 총 플라보노이드를 가장 많이 함유하고 DPPH의 활성이 가장 높은 자원은 CA12으로 지표성분 함량은 적지만, 건물중도 높고 항산화 성분이 풍부한 자원으로 확인되었다. 그러나 수집 자원의 우수한 생육적 특성이 지표성분, 항산화 성분 및 활성이 반드시 일치하지 않는 것으로 확인되어 향후 수량성, asiaticoside, 항산화물질 및 활성 등 각 특성을 목적으로 하는 자원 선발이 필요할것으로 보여진다. 또한 병풀이 제한적인 자생 범위를 갖고 있는 만큼 추가적인 재래 자원 수집을 통한 다양한 특성 연구가 보완되어야 할 것이다.
