Ligusticum tenuissimum belongs to Umbelliferae, and its root is generally used in headache, common cold and arthralgia L. We have extracted and isolated butylidene phthal ide, 3-butylidene-4,5-dihydrophthalide of phthalide group and l-limonene, etc. of terpenoid group from the root by ordinary method. In Ligusticum sinense, L. jeholense, L. tenuissimum, L. jeholense var. tenuisectum, and L. officinale etc., the components of cnidilide, ligustilide of phthalide group are common features and specific constituents in genus Ligusticum. Therefore comparing that there is no phthalide group in genus Angelica, we think it is able to classify the difference of genus between Ligusticum and Angelica of Umbelliferae in chemotaxonomy.

In continuation of studies on the Umbelliferous fruits the inner morphology of 'Kobon' fruit was examined, 'Kobon' is an original plant of Korean Gaoben, its scientific name being given Angelica tenuissima NAKAI or Ligusticum tenuissimum KITAGAWA. The arrangement of vascular bundles is the same as those of the genus Ligusticum or Tilingia and Conioselinum. The tracheids reach nearly the top of the ribs, and this is similar to that of the genus Conioselinum. From these characters and the results of studies on the inner morphology of the fruits of Umbelliferous plants related to 'Kobon,' the origin of 'Kobon' was identified as the genus Conioselinum.

고본에서 정유성분을 추출하여 표준물질과 함께 생리활성 실험을 하였으며, 전체적으로 고본에서 추출한 정유성분이 순수한 표준물질인 phthalic anhydride보다 생리활성능이 좋았다. 함암효과 및 돌연변이 유발 억제실험에서는 고본이 표준물질보다 약 60% 높은 억제 효과를 나타내었으며, 암세포 성장저해에서 고본의 정유성분은 1.0mg/ml의 농도에서 50%이상의 억제율을 보였으나, 표준물질은 40%이하의 낮은 억제율을 나타내었고, 정상세포에 대한 세포독성을 측정한 결과 고본의 정유와 표준물질이 1.0 mg/ml의 농도에서 각각 34.4%, 26.4%의 낮은 세포독성을 나타내었다. 또한 항돌연변이원성 실험에 rec-assay와 CHO V79 cell에서 고본의 정유가 표준물질 보다 더 효과적이었다. 그리고 면역기능 효과 실험에서 고본의 정유가 표준물질 보다 더 효과적이었다. 그리고 면역기능 효과 실험에서 고본의 정유성분은 표준물질보다 1.0mg/ml의 농도에서 1.21배의 증강을 보였다. 또한 고본 정유성분의 혈당강하, 혈압조절(ACE활성 저해), GST활성혈전용해능 등도 활성율이 뛰어났으며, 각각 최고의 농도에서(mg/ml) 59.2%, 80.1%, 301.2%, 42.9%의 우수한 생리활성능을 보였고, 표준물질인 경우 57.7%, 65.3%, 234.7%, 28.6%로 높지만, 고본의 정유성분 보다 상대적으로 낮은 활성능을 보였다. 그리고, 신경세포의 생육 및 신경돌기 생성촉진 실험에서 신경돌기 길이는 무첨가 보다 약 50$\mu\textrm{m}$ 촉진하였으며, 신경돌기를 지니는 세포수는 2배 더 증가하였고, 생세포수는 약 56.4% 증가함을 나타냈다. 따라서 고본의 정유성분의 생리 활성능과 신경세포에 대한 우수한 활성능은 식물기원의 신경 활성물질의 탐색이 유효할 것으로 사료되어 진다.

Objectives : The objective of this study was to investigate the possibility for the treatment of hypertension of herbal medicines belong to Umbelliferae family. Methods : Domestic and international articles about Herbology were investigated. A review was performed via the database (DB) search engines such as Pubmed, Korean studies Information Service System (KISS), KoreaScience, and Google Scholar. Hypertension-related terms including "vasorelaxation", "vasorelaxant", "vasodilation", "vasodilatory", "vasodilative", "hypotension", and "hypotensive" were performed as search terms. Results : A list was made about herbal medicines and origin plants belonging to the Umbelliferae family in Korean Pharmacopoeia 12 and Korean Herbal Pharmacopoeia. 14 herbal medicine and 22 origin plants were searched. Ostericum koreanum root and rhizome, Notopterygium incisum root and rhizome, N. forbesii root and rhizome, Ligusticum tenuissimum root and rhizome, L. jeholense root and rhizome, Angelica gigas root, A. dahurica root, A. dahurica var. formosana root, Bupleurum falcatum root, Peucedanum japonicum root, P. praeruptorum root, A. decursiva root, Cnidium officinale rhizome, L. chuanxiong rhizome, Foeniculum vulgare fruit, and Ferula assa-foetida resin and stem showed significant vasorelaxant or hypotensive effects. Conclusion : These review results showed that Osterici seu Notopterygii Radix et Rhizoma, Ligustici Tenuissimi Rhizoma et Radix, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Bupleuri Radix, Peucedani Japonici Radix, Peucedani Radix, Cnidii Rhizoma, Foeniculi Fructus, and Ferulae Resina had vasorelaxant or hypotensive effects. The results are expected as basic data in clinical trials and experimental researches for the treatment of hypertension of herbal medicines.

Angelica tenuissima, also known as Ligusticum tenuissimum, is classified as a food-related plant and has been used as traditional medicines treating headache and anemia in Asia. However, its anti-melanogenic effect has not been reported in detail. When the extract of Angelica tenuissima (ATE) was prepared by the extraction with 70% EtOH at $80^{\circ}C$ (final yield = 22%), the contents of decursin and Z-ligustilide in ATE were determined 0.06% and 8.43%, respectively. Total flavonoid and phenolic content in mg ATE were $5.52{\pm}0.07{\mu}g$ quercetin equivalents and $237.27{\pm}13.24{\mu}g$ gallic acid equivalents, respectively. Antioxidant capacity of ATE determined by DPPH and ABTS assay was increased with a dose dependent manner up to $1000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. The amount of melanin synthesis followed by ${\alpha}-melanocyte$ stimulating hormone on B16F10 cells were significantly reduced in the presence of ATE (250 to $1000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, p<0.05). ATE (125 to $1000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, p<0.05) suppressed the tyrosinase activity but did not show any significant effect on ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity at the same condition. Taken together, ATE possesses tyrosinase inhibitory potential with significant antioxidant capacities. These effects of ATE might be involved in suppression of melanin synthesis, at least, in B16F10 cells. The anti-melanogenic potential of ATE will provide an insight into developing a new skin whitening product.
