Abstract
We investigated the biological activities of extracts from the flowers of Angelica gigas Nakai. The $IC_{50}$ of the DPPH radical scavenging activity was 3,535 and 105.0 ${\mu}g/mL$ in the water and ethanol extracts, respectively, whereas it was 12.7 ${\mu}g/mL$ for ascorbic acid. The results showed that the total polyphenol content of the ethanol extracts (48.43${\pm}$0.18 mg/g) was higher than that of the water extracts (39.03${\pm}$0.69 mg/g). The flavonoid content of the ethanol extracts (67.02${\pm}$4.38 mg/g) was higher than that of the water extracts (50.32${\pm}$1.24 mg/g). The ethanol extract showed a 34.45% lower ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activity than that for acarbose. The ethanol extract showed a 23.62% lower ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibition activity compared with that for acarbose. The water extract showed 16.76% lower pancreatic lipase inhibition activity. Anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activity was also lower. These results suggest that the flower of Angelica gigas Nakai may be useful as an anti-oxidative agent.
