  • Objectives: Ssanghwa-tang (SHT) is a traditional herbal formula comprising nine medicinal herbs, and it is used for reducing fatigue in Korea. SHT exerts various effects such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-aging activities, and protection against acute hepatotoxicity. However, the genotoxicity of SHT has not yet been established. Methods: Ten components were identified in SHT water extract by using high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. We assessed the genotoxicity of SHT by using bacterial reverse mutation (Ames test), chromosome aberration, and in vivo micronucleus tests. Results: The contents of paeoniflorin, glycyrrhizin, and liquiritin apioside in SHT were 15.57, 6.94, and 3.48 mg/g extract, respectively. SHT did not increase the revertant colonies of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli strains in the presence or absence of metabolic activity. Although SHT did not induce structurally abnormal chromosomes in Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cells in the presence of metabolic activity, the number of structurally aberrated chromosomes increased dose-dependently in the absence of metabolic activity. In the in vivo micronucleus test, SHT did not affect the formation of micronuclei compared with the vehicle control. Conclusions: Genotoxicity of SHT was not observed in the Ames test and in vivo micronucleus test. However, based on the results of chromosome aberration test, it can be presumed that SHT has the potential to induce genotoxicity because it induced structurally abnormal chromosomes in the absence of metabolic activity.

  • 약용식물은 피부와 모발을 보호하는 잠재적 기능을 가지고 있다고 알려져 있다. 수용성 호스트 ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin과 약용식물의 기능성 성분들과의 복합체 형성 시 나타나는 피부와 모발에 미치는 효과에 대하여 조사하였다. 기존의 연구에서 복합체 형성물의 무독성, 그리고 그람양성균과 비듬을 발생시키는 곰팡이에 대한 항균기능성을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 약용식물의 기능성 성분을 함유한 크림이 피부의 콜라젠 생성을 유도하여 피부의 생리활성을 증대시킴을 확인하였다. 또한 기능성 성분을 함유한 헤어토닉 처리군에서 육모의 성장이 증진되었음을 생쥐를 이용한 동물실험에서 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과, 비수용성 약용성분을 수용성 ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin에 포접시켜 초분자 복합체 형성을 통해, 육모기능의 향상과 피부노화지연 등 부가적 화장제재로의 개발가능성을 보여주었다.
