1. Levistolide A (Diligustilide) inhibits liver fibrosis and angiogenesis.

Oxyimperatorin is a natural product from Angelica dahurica.

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

Angelicain, also known as Norcimifugin, is a component found in Cimicifuga foetida that exhibits anti-inflammatory activity.

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

Decursinol is isolated from the roots of Angelica Gigas with an antinociceptive effect. It also has anti-tumor and anti-metastasis activity.

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.

1. Oxypeucedanin hydrate (Prangolarin Hydrate) has antioxidant activity. 2. Oxypeucedanin hydrate is an antimutagenic agent. 3. Oxypeucedanin hydrate exhibits carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes inhibitory effect.

(+)-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.

8-Hydroxybergapten may have anti-wrinkle activity.

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.

Nodakenin ((+)-Marmesinin) is a compound with anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory activities.
