4-Hydroxyderricin, a potent and selective MAO-B inhibitor (IC50: 3.43 μM), is the main active ingredient of Angelica sinensis, which mildly inhibits dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) activity and possesses antidepressant activity.
1. Byakangelicol may inhibit P-gp expressed at the BBB even under in vivo conditions. 2. Byakangelicol can inhibit IL-1beta-induced PGE2 release in A549 cells; this inhibition may be mediated by suppression of COX-2 expression and the activity of COX-2 en
Alloimperatorin (Prangenidin) exhibits in vitro antitumor activity in HL-60 acute myeloid leukemia cancer cells via inducing apoptosis, cell cycle disruption and inhibition of cell migration. It photosensitizes efficiently the hemolysis of erythrocytes.
Meranzin hydrate exhibits antidepressive and prokinetic-like effects through the regulation of the common mediator, the alpha 2-adrenoceptor , and α±-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors; it produces a rapid effect mediated by AMPA
Decursinol angelate has anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and hepatoprotective activities, it inhibits VEGF-induced angiogenesis via suppression of the VEGFR-2-signaling pathway; it also suppresses invasion and inflammatory activation of cancer
P-Hydroxyphenethyl trans-ferulate exhibits affinity toward 5-HT(7) receptors in a competitive binding assay. P-Hydroxyphenethyl trans-ferulate can double quinone reductase specific activity in Hepa 1c1c7 cells at a level of 2.1 microg/mL (6.6 microM).
1. (+)-(3R,8S)-Falcarindiol is a potential new anticancer agent that exerts its activity through inducing ER stress and apoptosis. 2. Falcarindiol induces immunosuppressive effects in vitro and in vivo and might be a novel therapy for autoimmune or allergic diseases. 3. Falcarindiol has protective effect against CCl(4) toxicity , in part, be explained by anti-lipid peroxidation activity associated with the induction of the GSTs including GSTA4.
(+)-Columbianetin ((S)-Columbianetin) is a new phytoalexin associated with celery (Apium graveolens) resistance to pathogens during storage, it also has antifungal activity. (+)-Columbianetin has anti-inflammatory effects, it promotes histamine release, and inhibits the histamine release by substance P, suggests that it may be helpful in regulating mast cell-mediated allergic inflammatory responses. (+)-Columbianetin can be effectively used to protect keratinocytes from UVB induced damage.
Cnidicin has anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory activity, it inhibits the degranulation of mast cell and the NO generation in RAW 264.7 cells(IC50 value, 7.5 microM). Cnidicin exhibits a significant inhibition on the proliferation of cultured human tumor
7-Demethylsuberosin (7-demethylsuberosin) is a coumarin compound isolated from Angelica gigas Nakai,and has anti-inflammatory activity,and exhibited inhibitory effects on PGE2 production with the IC50 values of 9.42 μM.
(+)-Columbianetin acetate (COLUMBIANETIN ACETATE) may be helpful in regulating mast cell-mediated allergic inflammatory responses.The absorption of (+)-Columbianetin acetate is a passive diffusion process without pH-dependent.
1. Oxypeucedanin ((+-)-Oxypeucedanin) has novel anticancer effect, mediated via induction of G2-M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human prostate carcinoma DU145 cells. 2. Oxypeucedanin is a kind of open-channel blocker of the hKv1.5 channel and it prolongs the APD; therefore, it is an excellent candidate as an antiarrhythmic drug for atrial fibrillation.
2-Methyldecane is a colorless liquid used primarily as a solvent in organic synthesis reactions, and is also present in spice tobacco and cigarette smoke; it has low inhalation toxicity, and no deaths were observed in rats exposed to saturated vapor concentrations for 4 hours.
Cnidilin (Knidilin) is found in association with Angelica dahurica roots, has high BBB permeability and has pharmacokinetic potential in the treatment of CNS disorders.
3'- O- Acetylhamaudol, isolated from the roots of Angelica japonica, exhibits anti-tumor activity through dual actions, anti-angiogenesis and intestinal intraepithelial lymphocyte activation.
Suberosin exhibits anti-inflammatory, and anticoagulant activities, it also shows biting deterrent activity against Aedes aegypti, it may be useful for use as mosquito larvicidal agent.
