오갈피류 근피를 증류수 , 에탄올, 50% ethanol 용액 (증류수 : 에탄올, 1 : 1 v/v)로 추출하여 생리 활성을 검색하였다 . 암세포 생육 억제 효과는 검색된 모든 암세포(Hep3B, A549, MCF7)에서 높은 억제 활성을 나타내었고, 특히 간암세포에 대해서는 가시오갈피 근피의 50% ethanol 용액 추출물(1.0g/L)이 94%의 가장 높은 억제 활성을 나타내었다. 돌연변이 유발억제 실험에서는 가시오갈피 근피의 50% ethanol 용액 추출물에서 가장 높은 억제효과를 나타내었으며 면역증진 실험에서도 가시오갈피근피가 가장 높은 효과를 나타내었다. 가시오갈피 근피는 또한 수행된 간기능 보호능과 항산화실험에서도 가장 높은 효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 모든 활성 실험에서 50% ethanol 용매 추출물이 에탄올과 증류수 추출물에 비해 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 증류수나 에탄올 단일의 용매에 의한 추출보다 혼합 용매에 의한 추출이 유용생리활성 물질 추출에 유리함을 보여 준다.
The biological activities of water, ethanol and 50% ethanol extracts from Acanthopanax root bark were compared. 94% of Hep3B cell growth was inhibited by adding 1.0g/L of 50% ethanol extracts from A. senticosus root bark. It was also showed that above 90% of A549 cell growth was inhibited by adding 1.0g/L of 50% ethanol extracts. The 50% ethanol extracts of A. sessiliflorum root bark showed that the extracts selectivity were from 1.5 to 3.4 by adding all samples. For screening immunomodulating activities, Jurkat(T-cell) was showed that the cell growth and viability were more increased and activited 275% by adding the 50% ethanol extracts from A. senticosus root bark. The result of anti-mutagenicity of 50% ethanol extracts of A. senticosus root bark was most effective than any other samples. The enhancement of glutathione-S-transferase activity was increased 241% by adding 1.0g/L 1 : 1 extracts of A. senticosus root bark. 72% of oxidation was inhibited by adding 1.0g/L of 50% ethanol extracts from A. senticosus root bark.
