가시오갈피 (Eleutherococcus senticosus Maxim) 열매의 에탄올 추출물 및 분획물의 항돌연변이원성 및 항암활성을 규명하였다. 항돌연변이원성 실험결과에서는 직접변이원인 MNNG, 4NQO 그리고 간접변이원인 B()p, Trp-P-1에 대해서 농도 의존적인 돌연변이 억제활성을 나타내었다. MNNG (0.4 /plate)의 격우 S. typhimurium TA100 균주에서는 시료농도 200/plate에서 클로로포름 분획물을 제
This study was earned out to investigate the antimutagenic and cytotoxic effects of Eleutherococcus senticosus Maxim fruits ethanol extract on Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100 and cancer cell lines using Ames test and SRB assay, respectively. They were extracted with ethanol and then fractionated with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water to get active fractions. In the Ames test, most of the extracts had strong antimutagenic effects against the mutagenesis induced by MNNG, 4NQO, B()P and Trp-P-l. The ethanol extract (200 /plate) of Eleutherococcus senticosus fruits showed 87.2% inhibitory effect on the mutagenesis induced by MNNG against TA100. And also, The suppression ratio against B()P and Trp-P-l in the TA100 showed 96.1% and 95.5%, respectively. In the cytotoxic effects against human cancer cell lines (A549, AGS, MCF-7, Hep3B), the value of inhibition were mostly above 60% for each fraction (1 mg/mL). Hexane fraction (1 mg/mL) against showed the strongest cytotoxic effects of 92.7% compared to those of other fraction and butano fraetion against Hep3B was relatively high growth inhibitory effect of 82%.
