Abstract

This study was performed to determine the antimicrobial and anticarcinogenic activities of the Momordica charantia L. (MC) on several microorganisms and human cancer cell lines. In the paper disk test, its antimicrobial activity was increased in proportion to its concentration. Among the various solvent fractions of Momordica charantia L., the ethylether partition layer (MCMEE) showed the strongest antimicrobial activity. Also, the ethylacetate partition layer (MCMEA) and the butanol partition layer (MCMB) showed antimicrobial activity. We also determined the cytotoxicity and chemopreventive effect of Momordica charantia L. extract and fractions on human cancer cells. The experiment was conducted to determine the cytotoxicity of Momordica charantia L. partition layers on HepG2, HeLa and MCF-7 cells by MTT assay. Among the various partition layers of Momordica charantia L., MCMEE and MCMEA showed strong cytotoxic effects on all cancer cell lines. The chemopreventive effect of the quinone reductase induced activities of HepG2 cell, the hexane partition layer (MCMH) at a dose of 50 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL was 3.62 times more effective compared with the control values of 1.0. Therefore, based on these studies, Momordica charantia L. may be developed into a potentially useful cancer chemopreventive agent.

중국에서 약용 및 음용식물로 사용되고 있는 여주 (Mo-mordica charantia L.)를 이용하여 추출, 분획한 후 항균, 항암 및 암예방 효과를 살펴보았다 여주의 MCU층을 제외한 모든 층에서 항균력을 보였으며 특히 Staphylococru aureus의 MCMEE층에서 가장 높은 항균활성을 나타내었다 실험에 사용한 각균에 대한 여주 분획물의 암세포 증식 억제 효과를 MTT assay로 실험한 결과, 3종의 인체 암세포 HepG2, HeLa 및 MCF극에서 모두 여주의 ethyleth-er 분획층인 MCMEE와 ethylacetate 분획층인 MCMEA 층에서 아주 높은 암세포 증식억제 효과를 나타내었다. HepG2세포를 이용하여 암예방 QR 유도 활성을 측정한 결과, 다른 분회층에 비해 비극성 용매층인 hexane 분획층 MCMH에서 아주 높은 QR 유도를 활성시키는 것으로 나타났다. 본 실험 결과, 여주에는 식품 보존과 항균제로서의 개발가능성이 보이며. 항발암 효과를 보기위한 암세포 증식 억제 효과는 ethylether층 MCMEE과 ethylacetate층 MCMEA층에서 월등하였고, 비극성 용매층인 hexane 분획층에는 암발생을 예방하는 quinone reductase inducer가 있는 것으로 사료되며. 나아가 단계적인 생리활성 연구의 분리 동정이 계속 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.
