To identify the physiological activity of Saponaria aloe cultivated in the Namhae-gun, polysaccharides, as the main physiologically active substances, were isolated and their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities were confirmed. Hot-air dried saponaria were extracted with hot water (80°C, 24 h) and then the extracts were freeze dried (HWE). HWE was dialyzed using 3.5 kDa dialysis membrane and only intra-dialysis solution was taken and freeze dried (IDS) for experiment. Total polysaccharide content was higher in IDS (195.32 mg/g) than HWE however, anthraquinone content was lower in IDS. Total phenolic compounds (TPC) contents of HWE and IDS were 594.04 and 1,047.23 mg/100 g, respectively. The IC50 values of 2,2-Azinobis-(3-ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulphonate (ABTS) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities were higher 1.7 and 1.8 folds in HWE than IDS, respectively. The MTT assay showed that the sample concentrations below than 100 μg/mL were sufficient to exert anti-inflammatory activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced RAW 264.7 cells. The production levels of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were significantly decreased in 100 μg/mL of HWE (p⟨0.01) and IDS (p⟨0.001) treated group than those in LPS only treated group. The expression levels of tumor necrosis faction (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 were significantly lower in all treated samples than in the LPS only treated group. However, there was no significant difference between the HWE and IDS-treated group. The expression activity of IL-1β was no significant difference among all samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
