슈퍼자미(SuperC3GHi) 쌀 품종은 색소 성분인 cyanidine-3-glucoside(C3G)의 함량을 크게 증대시킨 품종이다. 슈퍼자미 벼품종을 활용한 새로운 기능성 소재 및 제품으로의 개발 가능성을 타진하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 슈퍼자미 벼품종의 버섯 균사체 발효물을 이용하여 항염증, 항알러지, 항암 기능의 검증을 수행하였다. 1. 슈퍼자미 미강 발효물의 항염 활성을 분석하기 위하여 ear-edema test를 수행한결과 약 35.6%의 염증 억제율을 나타내었다. 2. 슈퍼자미 미강 발효물의 항알러지 활성을 확인하기 위하여 비만세포인 RBL-2H3 세포의 hexoamidase 및 histamine 유리 활성을 조사한 결과 슈퍼자미 미강 발효물을 처리하였을 때 각각 약 40% 및 57%의 억제 활성을 나타내어 항알러지 활성을 확인하였다. 3. 슈퍼자미 미강 발효물의 항암 활성을 조사한 결과 복수암 모델 및 고형암 모델에서 모두 암세포의 증식을 억제하는 활성을 나타내었고, 혈액중 백혈구의 수치를 유의적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타나 슈퍼자미 미강 발효물이 항암 활성을 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 4. 이상의 결과에서 슈퍼자미 품종의 미강을 버섯 균사체 발효를 통해 얻어진 기능성 소재는 항염, 항알러지, 항암 활성을 통해서 우수한 기능성 소재로서의 개발 가능성이 매우 높다고 판단된다.

We evaluated the anti-allergic effect of black colored rice (Oryza sativa L.) and its main constituents, cyanidin 3 glucoside (C3G) and cyanidin (Cy) on scratching behavior in mice. The black rice extract (BRE) and its constituts inhibited the scratching behavior induced by compound 48/80 and histamin. To understand the role of intestinal microflora in the anti-allergic effect of C3G, which was suspected to play a key role in depressing scratching behavior, C3G was incubated with human fecal bacteria. Protocatechuic acid (PCA) was found within the 30 min and its concetration sharply increased. Vanillic acid (VA) was also detected in the incubated sample mixture. The anti-allergic effect of these compounds, C3G, Cy, PCA and VA, were investigated. PCA and Cy potentely reduced scratching behavior in mice induced by compound 48/80 and histamin. These findings enable us to conclude that intestinal bacterial metabolites, PCA and VA, produced by intestinal micro flora contributed to suppressing the scratching behavior induced by compound 48/80 and histamin.

The anti-allergic effect of C3GHi rice breeded from the cross of ‘Heugjinjubyeo’ and ‘Suwon 415’ was investigated. Antiscratching behavioral effects of the water extract of C3GHi was higher than Heugjinjubyeo. Orally administered BCRs’ extracts exhibited potent inhibitory activity against scratching behaviors which were induced by compound 48/80. The inhibitory effect of C3GHi against the passive cutaneous reaction was more potent than that of Heugjinjubyeo. These finding suggest that black colored rice, especially C3GHi, may inhibit scratching behaviors and passive cutaneous reaction, and its anti-allergic activities were increased by means of selecting high C3G rice seeds.
