Purpose: Astragalus membranaceus (AM) is an important traditional medicinal herb. Pharmacological research has indicated that AM has various physiological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, anticancer, hypolipidemic, antihyperglycemic, and hepatoprotective activities. The bioactive substances responsible for the physiological activities in AM, including many antioxidant substances, change during the roasting process. This study investigated and compared the changes in the antioxidant constituents of AM caused by roasting. Methods: DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) and $ABTS^+$ (2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt) radical scavenging activities and their total phenolic content (TPC) were measured. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was performed to confirm any changes in the isoflavonoids of roasted AM (R-AM),. The cell viability of UVB-induced HDF (Human dermal fibroblast) cells treated with AM and R-AM extracts was investigated. The comet assay was used to examine the inhibitory effects of R-AM extracts on DNA damage caused by oxidative stress. Results: The DPPH and $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging activities were $564.6{\pm}20.9$ and $108.2{\pm}3.1$ ($IC_{50}$ value) respectively, from the 2R-AM. The total phenol content was $47.80{\pm}1.40mg$ GAE/g from the 1R-AM. The values of calycosin and formononetin, which are the known isoflavonoid constituents of AM, were $778.58{\pm}2.72$ and $726.80{\pm}3.45{\mu}g/g$ respectively, from the 2R-AM. Treatment of the HDF cells with R-AM ($50{\sim}200{\mu}g/mL$) did not affect the cell viability. Furthermore, the R-AM extracts effectively protected against UVB-induced DNA damage. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that R-AM increases its isoflavonoid constituents and protects against UVB-induced DNA damage in HDF cells. 본 연구는 황기의 최적의 볶음 공정을 하였을 때 항산화 활성의 변화를 확인하기 위해 DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging assay, 총 폴리페놀 함량 및 calycosin, formononetin과 이의 배당체인 calycosin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside, Formononetin7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside의 분석을 실시하였다. 또한 UVB 처리로 산화적 스트레스를 유발한 HDF 세포에 추출물을 처리하여 DNA의 손상을 억제하는지 확인하였다. DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging assay 는 2R-AM 추출물에서 항산화 활성이 가장 좋았으며, 총 폴리페놀 함량은 1R-AM 추출물이 NR-AM과 비교하였을 때 월등히 증가하였지만, 2R-AM과 3R-AM과는 크게 차이가 없었다. 볶음 공정을 통한 황기는 calycosin와 formononetin의 함량이 2R-AM 추출물에서 가장 높게 측정되었다. HDF 세포에서 추출물들은 $200{\mu}g/mL$까지 독성을 나타내지 않았으며, 추출물 모두 자외선에 의해 손상된 HDF 세포에서 DNA 보호효능을 유의성 있게 증가시켰다. 특히 2R-AM 추출물의 활성은 정상세포와 유사한 수준으로 보호효과를 나타내었다. 결과를 종합해봤을 때, 볶음공정을 통한 황기 추출물은 지표 성분의 변화로 인하여 자외선에 의한 피부보호효과를 증가하였을 것이라 판단되며 이는 건강기능식품이나 화장품 원료로써 가능성을 시사한다.
