Abstract

The Opuntia extract has been traditionally used to treat diabetes, inflammation, and rheumatoid arthritis in oriental medicine. The purpose of this study is to investigate characteristics of biological activity between Opuntia humifusa and Opuntia ficus-indica which is cultivating in korea using cell-free system or cell-based assay. O. humifusa extract effectively inhibited ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity or improved the immune function, and its biological activity was more effective than O. ficus-indica extract. The scavenging activity of DPPH radical and the inhibitory effect of tyrosinase similarly showed by O. humifusa and O. ficus-indica extract, however neuroprotective effect only showed a tendency to increase compared with control in PC12 cells. Therefore the results suggest that O. humifusa can be a useful agent for treatment of diabetes and immunodeficiency.

본 연구는 전남 신안군과 제주도에서 재배되고 있는 손바닥 선인장 두 종간의 생리활성을 비교 분석하기 위해 기존에 밝혀진 바 있는 생리활성을 중심으로 in vitro 조건에서 DPPH 라디칼 소거능, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase와 tyrosinase 활성 억제능, 대식세포의 cytokine 생성 증가효과 및 뇌세포 산화적 손상 억제효과를 측정하였다. ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성 억제 및 대식세포의 cytokine 생성 증가효과에서는 OFI 추출물의 효과는 거의 없거나 미약하게 보이지만, OH 추출물에서는 매우 효과적으로 높게 나타났다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능과 tyrosinase 활성 억제효과에서는 OFI와 OH 추출물간의 큰 차이가 없으나 OFI 추출물에서 조금 더 좋은 효과를 나타냈다. 손바닥선인장 줄기와 줄기 다당류 추출물의 생리활성 비교 연구에서는 DPPH 라디칼 소거능, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성 억제능 및 대식세포의 cytokine 생성 증가효과가 손바닥선인장 줄기 다당류 추출물보다 줄기 추출물에서 효과적인 것으로 관찰되었다. 그러나 OFI 줄기 다당류 추출물의 tyrosinase 활성 억제효과는 양성대조물인 ascorbic acid 보다 높게 나타났다. 뇌세포 산화적 손상 억제효과에서는 시료를 첨가하지 않은 대조군에 비해 모든 추출물에서 뇌세포 사멸을 약간 감소시키는 경향만을 나타냈다. 결론적으로 우리나라에 재배되고 있는 손바닥선인장 두 종의 생리활성을 비교한 결과, OH-S 추출물은 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성 억제능 및 대식세포의 cytokine 생성 증가효과 그리고 OFI-SP 추출물은 tyrosinase 활성 억제효과가 상대적으로 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 지역농민의 소득창출을 위한 유용생물자원으로서 고부가가치를 확보하기 위해서는 효율적인 추출법, 전임상 동물실험 그리고 유효성분의 개발과정이 수반되어야 한다고 사료된다.
