본 연구에서는 도라지 분말을 유기용매로 추출한 후 도라지의 추출물과 분획물들에 의한 세포 내 활성산소종 및 glutathione (GSH)를 측정하여 항산화효과를 검토하였고 NO 생성 저해 효과를 알아보았다. 세포 내 활성산소종 생성억제 실험에서 건조 도라지의 A+M 및 MeOH 추출물과 추출물을 n-hexane, 85% aq. MeOH, n-BuOH, water로 다시 추출하여 얻어진 각각의 분획물들을 농도별로 HT1080 세포에 처리하였을 때
We explored the effect of extracts of dried Platycodon grandiflorum on production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutathione (GSH) and nitric oxide (NO). To determine antioxidant activity in the presence of -induced oxidative stress, DCFH-DA (dichlorodihydrofluorescin diacetate) assay was employed. Acetone/methylene chloride (A+M) and methanolic (MeOH) extracts of P. grandiflorum reduced intracellular ROS levels. Of the various tested fractions, n-BuOH fraction showed the highest protective effect in terms of lipid peroxide production. Total GSH levels were measured after treatment of HT1080 cells with the A+M and MeOH extracts, and other solvent fractions, at various concentration. The A+M extacts and 85% (v/v) aqueous MeOH fraction significantly increased GSH levels (p
