천궁(Cnidii Rhizoma)의 메탄올 추출물이 GABA 및 Glycine 수용체에 미치는 영향 = EFFECT OF METHANOL EXTRACT OF CNIDII RHIZOMA ON THE FUNCTION OF RECEPTORS FOR GABA AND GLYCINE

국문 초록 (Abstract)

천궁의 메탄올 수용액 추출물의 진정 작용을 밝히기 위하여 staircase test를 시행하였으며, 근육이완 효과를 검색하기 위하여 rotarod test를 시행하였다. 진정 작용의 기전 구명을 위하여 GABA 및 glycine 수용체에 작용하는 약물인 picrotoxin, yohimbine, isoniazid, strychnine 등의 약물을 이용하여 발작 유도에 걸리는 시간을 비교 관찰하였다. 또한 생체에서의 안전성을 검증하기 위하여 Irwin의 행동시험 및 신경세포에 대한 독성을 평가하기 위하여 MTT test를 실시하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다.
1. Staircase 실험에서 천궁 추출물을 10mg/kg 용량으로 경구 투여했을 때 climbing수는 대조군과 차이가 없었으나, rearing수에서는 대조군에 비하여 42%의 감소를 보였다.
2. 30mg/kg 용량으로 경구 투여했을 때, climbing수는 대조군과 차이가 없었으나, rearing수에서는 51%의 감소를 유발하였다.
3. 근육이완 작용을 탐색하기 위한 rotarod 실험에서는 대조군과 차이를 나타내지 않았다.
4. 천궁 추출물의 투여는 picrotoxin, isoniazid, yohimbine에 의한 발작에서는 큰 변화를 유발하지 않았으나, strychnine에 의한 발작 유도시간은 41%의 증가를 유발하였다.
5. 일반 행동에서도 특이한 변화를 유발하지 않았으며, 신경세포에 적용했을 때 특이한 독성 반응을 나타내지 않았다.
천궁의 메탄올 수용액 추출물은 현저한 진정 작용을 유발하며, 그 작용 기전으로서 glycine의 작용을 증가시켜 chlorideion의 세포내 유입으로 인한 억제성 신경전도를 유도한다고 사료된다. 또한 근육이완 작용도 나타나지 않았으며, 특이한 생체독성도 유발되지 않은 것으로 보아, 향후 치과임상에서 진정요법의 한 수단으로서 사용될 수 있다는 가능성을 제시한다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Cnidii Rhizoma (CR) was subjected to extraction with 70% methanol and tested to determine whether it has anxiolytic activity in mouse by employing staircase and rotarod tests. In addition, to understand the mechanism of anxiolytic action, CR, picrotoxin, yohimbine, isoniazid and strychnine were utilized to delineate the potential involvement of GABA and glycine receptors in the action of Cnidii Rhizoma. To gain insights into the safety of Cnidii Rhizoma extract, behavioral and MTT tests were carried out. The results were obtained as follows:
1. CR extract had little effect on climbing numbers in the stair case test.
2. CR extract had considerable anti-anxiety effects as evidenced by the reduction of rearing numbers in the stair case test.
3. CR extract had little effect on muscle relaxation.
4. Anxiolytic actions of CR extract appeared to be mediated by glycine receptor activation.
5. Cytotoxicity in the neuronal cell was not observed and no strange behaviors were found.
In short, these results indicate that CR extract has the ability to exert anxiolytic activity, possibly by activating glycine receptor with little side effects in mouse.
