선학초 메탄올 추출물을 유기용매를 이용하여 분획하고 각각의 분획별 항산화 및 항암 활성을 조사하였다. 항산화 활성으로 총페놀, 전자공여능, 아질산염 소거능을, 효소 저해 활성으로 XOase 저해 활성을 조사하였으며, 암세포인 HT-29, SNU-1, HeLa 세포에 대한 성장 저해 활성을 조사하여 기능성 식품으로의 개발 가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 총 페놀 함량은 EtOAC와 BuOH 분획에서 39.89%, 39.56%로 가장 높았고, 전자공여능 또한 EtOAC 분획에서 92.90% (500 μg/ml), 94.47% (1000 μg/ml), BuOH 분획에서 93.77% (500 μg/ml), 92.90% (1000 μg/ml)로 90% 이상이었다. 아질산염 소거능도 1000 μg/ml의 농도에서 50% 이상이었으며, XOase 저해활성은 93.06% (EtOAC) 와 91.73% (BuOH)로 높은 활성을 보였다. 암세포 성장 저해활성을 측정한 결과 hexane 분획에서 가장 높았고 HT-29에 대해 11.63%-90.07%, SNU-1에 대해 16.84%-95.11%, HeLa에 대해 4.44%-96.40%였다. 이상의 결과에서 선학초의 EtOAc, BuOH 분획물은 항산화 활성이 있는 기능성 식품으로의 개발이 가능할 것으로 생각되며, hexane, chloroform 분획은 위암, 대장암과 자궁경부암 치료보조제로서의 개발을 위한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.

Bioconcentration factors of some carbamates BPMC, carbaryl and carbofuran were determined. The tested fishes were zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) and red sword tail (Xiphophorus hellieri). The fishes were exposed to 0.05 ppm, 0.01 ppm, 0.50 ppm, one- hundredth concentration of 96-hrs LC_(50) and one-thousandth concentration of 96-hrs LC_(50) and test periods were 3, 5 and 8 days. Obtained results are summerized as follows: In the case of BPMC and carbaryl, BPMC and carbaryl concentration in zebrafish extract and BCFs of BPMC, carbaryl were lower than those of red sword tail, and increased as increasing test concentration. In the case of same experimental concentrations, BPMC concentration in zebrafish extract and BCFs of BPMC were decreased as prolonging test periods. In the case of same experimental periods, carbaryl concentration in zebrafish extract and BCFs of carbaryl were decreased as increasing test concentration, especially dropped at 0.50 ppm. Carbofuran did not bioaccumulate in zebrafish for test periods, in the case of red sword tail, it was impossible to calculate on BCFs data because test concentration of one-hundredth and one-thousandth of 96hrs LC_(50) was under the detecting limit on GC. Test concentration of 0.05 and 0.10 ppm were the same tendency with BPMC and carbaryl. Determined depuration rate conatant were highest on carbofuran, and followed by carbaryl, and BPMC. It is suggested that low BCF of carbofuran is due to its relatively high water solubility and depuration rate, compared to BPMC and carbaryl. Therefore, carbofuran had no little bioconcentration effect on the aquatic ecosystem.
