양강추출물(Alpinia officinarum, 70% ethanol extract)과 함유 주성분인 galangin은 프리라디칼소거작용과 지질과산화억제활성을 나타내었으며, H_2O_2 또는 KO_2유도 세포독성에 대해서도 억제적으로 작용하여 세포보호효과를 나타내었다. DNA single strand breakage와 같은 산화적 스트레스에 대해서도 보호작용을 하고 있다. 또한, 마우스 소핵시험에 의하여 adriamycin과 같은 superoxide유발물질에 의한 염색체 수준에서의 손상에 대해서도 억제효과를 나타내었다. 양강추출물은 galangin을 유효성분으로하여 산소프리라디칼들에 의한 산화적 손상에 억제적으로 작용하는 기전으로 산화적 스트레스에 대한 항노화, 암예방제로서의 응용가능성이 높은 추출물로서 향후 기능성 식품으로서의 응용가능성이 높을 것으로 판단되었다.
The 70% ethanol extract of Alpinia officinarum and its major flavonoid, galangin showed strong antioxidative effect on the lipid peroxidation of ethyl linolate with Fenton's reagent and free radical scavenging effect to DPPH radical generation. However, they did not reveal any pro-oxidant effect on bleomycin-Fe(Ⅲ) dependent DNA degradation. They also showed the protective effect against H_2O_2, KO_2 or UV-induced cytotoxicity in mammalian cells. They also showed the suppressive effect of DNA damage induced by H_2O_2 or KO_2 with dose-dependent manner in single cell gel electrophoresis(SCGE) assay. On the other hand, they have an anticlastogenic effect against adriamycin-induced micronucleated reticulocyte in peripheral blood of mice. These results suggest that the mechanism of inhibition by 70% ethanol extract of Alpinia officinarum and galangin against reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced genotoxicity or cytotoxicity is due, at least partly, to their antioxidative and free radical scavenging properties without pro-oxidant effect. All these results indicate that 70% ethanol extract of Alpinia officinarum and galangin may be useful for protection against ROS-induced cytotoxicity and DNA damage.
