30 kinds of natural products were considered for developing natural antioxidants by improved D.O. analyzing method including simple calculation of Area Under Curve. Several natural products such as Cimicifuge Rhizoma, Epimedii Herba, Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba, Acori Graminei Rhizoma, Mori Cortex Radicis, Aurantii Nobilis Pericarpium were bore nearly same antioxidant effects compared to synthetic powerful antioxidant BHT and also expressed powerful antioxidant effect than ${\beta}-carotene$ such as Eucommiae Cortex, Cinnamomi Cortex, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Lycii Furctus, Acanthopanacis Cortex, Sophorae Radix, Paeoniae Radix, Geranii Herba. Another method of DPPH was performed for searching natural antioxidant from natural product. Sophorae Radix, Puerariae Radix, Aurantii Nobilis Pericarpium, Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba, Acori Graminei Rhizoma, Corni Fructus, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Paeoniae Radix were carried higher antioxidant capacity than ${\beta}-carotene$ by DPPH method.

The ether soluble fraction of the roots of Angelicae gigantis Radix caused a significant prolongation of hexobarbital(HB) induced sleeping time in mice. Through systematic fractionation of the ether fraction monitored by bioassays, two pyranocoumarins, decursinol angelate and decursin were isolated as active principles. Decursin, as a main component, exhibited significant prolongation of HB-induced hypnosis as well as significant inhibition of hepatic microsomal drug metabolizing enzyme(DME) activities at relatively high dose which indicated that it is a weak DME inhibitor.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of Angelicae gigantis Radix extract oil the hepatic detoxifying enzyme activities and lipids. Male sprague-dawley rats were administrated the extracts with benzo(a)pyrene, a hepatotoxic agent, inducing liver damages. Results obtained from this study were as follows: 1. The markedly increased enzyme activities (AST, ALT, LDH, ALP, ${\gamma}$-GTP, GSH-Px) in B(a)P induced groups tended to be decreased by the treatment of the Angelicae gigantis Radix extract. 2. Liver GSH content and lipid peroxide activity were decreased by the administration of the extracts. 3. It tended that the curative effects were better than the protective effects of the extracts.

A cytotoxic sesquiterpene against L1210 and Hl-60 cells was isolated from Angelicae Koreanae Radix (bulk-kang-hwal). The component was identified as bisabolangelone by means of chemical and physical methods. The $ED_{50}$ values of it were $1.20{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$ against L1210 cells and $2.30{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$ against HL-60 cells. Bisabolangelone was found in bulk-kang-hwal but not in kang-hwal.

A new method for quantitative determination of byakangelicin in Angelicae dahuricae Radix by high performance liquid chromatography was established. A reversed-phase system with a ${\mu}Bondapak$ $C_{18}$ column using THF : dioxane : MeOH : HAc : 5% $H_3PO_4$ : $H_2O$=72.5 : 62.5 : 25 : 10 : 1 : 329 as a mobile phase was developed. Byakangelicin together with ter-O-byakangelicin and oxypeucedanin methanolate, and isooxypeucedanin as an internal reference were detected at 350 nm and the analysis was successfully carried out within 30 min.

Angelicae gigantis radix is the root of the perennial plant, which belongs to the family Umbelliferae. However, this herbal drug is represented quite different chemical components according to its different genus name, though other herbal drugs (i.e. Leonuri Herba, Xanthii Fructus and so on) show similar constituents on the same name. The root of Angelica gigas containing the coumarin compounds is commonly used in Korea, while Angelica sinensis and Angelica acutiloba including phthalide compounds are used in China and Japan, respectively as Angelicae gigantis radix. In this paper, a nearinfrared spectroscopic method was developed to determine genus name of Angelica spp., especially A. gigas and A. sinensis which are commonly misused in herbal markets. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and electronic nose have been also applied as nondestructive methods to discriminate A. gigas from A. sinensis according to their specific properties.

The medicinal constituents contained in Korean and Chinese Angelicae dahuricae Radix were compared by confirming their qualities. From the extracts of Angelicae dahuricae Radix, oxypeucedanin, imperatorin, and alloisoimperatorin etc. furanocoumarin derivatives were identified by GC/MS analysis. Through GC/FID analysis, the furanocoumarin derivatives content of Baizi cultivated in Korea was more than that cultivated in China, except for one cultivated at Ankuk province, and so confirmed to possess, on the whole, good quality medicinal constituents by content, as compared with the ones cultivated in China.

The determination method of decursin and decursin angelate from Angelicae gigantis Radix, an important crude drug in oriental medicine, was developed and validated by a reverse-phase liquid chromatography. The decursin and decursin angelate, the structural isomer aspyranocoumarin each other, are the main organic constituents in Angelicae gigantis Radix. (omitted)

Six heavy metals (lead, copper, cadmium, chromium, mercury and arsenic) were analyzed in 9 oriental medical materials(Paeoniae Radix Alba, Zizyphi Fructus, Cnidii Rhizoma, Rehmanniae Radix Preparata, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Astragali Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix, Cinnamomi Cortex Spissus, and Zingiberis Rhizoma Crudus) by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The heavy metal contents of Zingberis Rhizoma Crudus and Angelicae Gigantis Radix were 44.0 and 37.3 mg/kg, respectively, which were 1.47 and 1.24 times higher than the guideline set by the Korean Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). Washing with deionized water lowered the heavy metal contents by 20-38%, and reduced levels to below the guidelines set by KFDA.

Twenty-four Oriental herbal medicines including Platycodi Radix and Scutellariae Radix, etc., which have been used for the cure of hyperlipidemia, coronary heart, disease were evaluated for the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A(HMG-CoA) reductase inhibition and antioxidant effect on a free radical, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) in vitro, and antihyperlipidemic effect on hyperlipidemic rats induced by Triton WR-1339 in vivo. 80% MeOH extract of eight herbs including Scutellariae Radix, Coptidis Rhizoma, Paeoniae Radix Rubra, Moutan Cortex Radicis, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Bambusae Caulis in Taeniam, Cinnamomi Ramulus and Crataegi Fructus inhibited the HMG-CoA reductase activities and exhibited a radical-trapping action on a stable free radical, DPPH. On Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic rats, four herbs including Scutellariae Radix, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Bambusae Caulis in Taeniam and Cinnamomi Ramulus showed respectively the significant suppression of serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipid and LDL-cholesterol levels and serum transaminase(ALT and AST) activities. From these results, it is suggested that each 80% MeOH extract of Scutellariae Radix, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Bambusae Caulis in Taeniam and Cinnamomi Ramulus have effective antihyperlipidemic action against hyperlipidemia.
