발풀고사리 물 추출물의 항산화 및 항암 활성 연구

Abstract

Ten species belonging to the genus Dicranopteris are distributed throughout the world and Dicranopteris pedeta (Houtt.) Nakaike is distributed in Korea. In this study, the antioxidant and anticancer activities of Dicranopteris pedeta aqueous extract was explored. Antioxidant activity of Dicranopteris pedeta aqueous extract was revealed with a range of 38% to 74% in the DPPH radicals test. The total polyphenols and flavonoids contents of aqueous extract were 92.5 ± 8.68 mg GAE/g and 28.04 ± 4.08 mg QE/g, respectively. Protocatechuic acid, gentisic acid, rutin, vanillic acid, hesperidin, oxyresveratrol, quercetin, and naringenin were detected by HPLC. Cytotoxicity test was conducted using MTT assay in normal cells 293T, cancer cells of YD-10B and HeLa. In the cytotoxicity test, aqueous extract did not show toxicity to normal cells but inhibited cancer cell proliferation. These results suggest that aqueous extracts of Dicroanopteris pedeta could potentially be developed as a functional cosmetics or anticancer agents.
