복분자를 착즙하여 착즙액과 잔사로 나누고, 각 추출물을 용매분획하여 얻어진 각 획분을 대상으로 DPPH radical-scavenging 활성을 측정하였더니, 각 추출물의 EtOAc 가용산성획분에서 비교적 강한 활성이 나타났다. 이들 획분에 함유된 활성물질을 규명하고자 silica gel column chromatography로 정제한 다음 활성획분을 GC-MS 분석을 실시한 결과, 복분자 착즙액의 EtOAc 가용 산성획분에 함유된 물질로 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid, and 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid 등이 동정되었고, 잔사 MeOH 추출물의 EtOAc 가용 산성획분에 함유된 물질로 succinic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, citric acid, 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid, 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid가 동정되었다. DPPH radical-scavenging 활성과 hydroxyl radical에 의한 malonaldehyde 생성억제 효과활성 등의 방법으로 동정된 물질의 항산화 활성이 평가되었다.
The ehtyl acetate-soluble acidic fractions from juice and cake of Rubrs coreanum fruit showed DPPH radical-scavenging activity. Each fraction was purified through silica gel adsorption column chromatography. The compounds in the ethyl acetate-soluble acidic fraction of juice were identified as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid, and 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid by GC-MS. The compounds in the ethyl acetate-soluble acidic fraction of cake were also identified as succinic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, citric acid, 3,4,5,-trihydroxybenzoic acid, and 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid by GC-MS. Antioxidative activity of the identified compounds were evaluated by DPPH radical-scavenging assay and hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity assay.
