Abstract

The methanol extracts of Aralia elata bark showed antimicrobial activities against bacteria, yeast, fungi. The solvent fractionated acidic fraction that showed the activity was then successively purified with silica gel adsorption column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, silica gel partition column chromatography, HPLC and TLC. The isolated major active substance was identified as 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid by MS, GC-MS, IR, $^{1}H-NMR\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$. The content of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid was 0.869㎎/g in dried bark of Aralia elata.

두릅나무(Aralia elata $S_{EEMANN}$) 껍질의 MeOH 추출물이 세균과 효모, 곰팡이에 대해 항미생물 활성을 보여 solvent fractionation, silica gel adsorption chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, silica gel partition chromatography, HPLC, TLC 등의 기법으로 주활성본체를 분리하였다. MS, GC-MS, IR, 1^H-NMR, 13^C-NMR 등의 기기분석을 통해 항미생물 활성의 본체구명을 시도한 결과 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid로 동정되었다. 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid가 항미생물 활성본체로서 분리된 것도 처음으로 생각되며 두릅에서 이 물질이 분리, 동정된 것도 처음으로 생각된다. 건조 두릅껍질 g당 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid의 함량은 0.869mg 정도이었다.
