Objectives : Sik-bang-pung (植防風, Peucedani Japonici Radix), the root of Peucedanum japonicum Thunberg (Apiaceae), has often been used as a substitute for Bang-pung (防風, Saposhnikoviae Radix) in the past, but recently it is treated as a counterfeit of Bang-pung or a kind of 'Jeonho (Peucedani Radix)'. Hence, it is crucial to investigate the origin of herbal name to provide appropriate usage of Sik-bang-pung. Methods : The classic and contemporary literatures regarding to the herbal medicines and botanical nomenclature were searched to find the herbal and botanical origins of Bang-pung and Sik-bang-pung, respectively. Result : The botanical descriptions of Bang-pung (防風) were consistent throughout the classic literatures and its botanical species was determined as Saposhnikovia divaricata Schischkin (Apiaceae) in the compendium. In the literatures published in the Joseon Dynasty, 'Byeong-pung-na-mul' was recorded as the medicinal plant of Bang-pung, but its botanical species could not be confirmed. In Japanese literatures, Bang-gyu (防葵) was confirmed as Mok-dan-bang-pung (牡丹防風); botan-bōfū in Japanese), which was determined as the herbal name of the root of 'Gaet-girum-namul (P. japonicum)' in Korea during the period of Japanese rule. The roots of Gaet-girum-namul was medicinally named as Mok-dan-bang-pung (牡丹防風), Sik-bang-pung (植防風), or San-bang-pung (山防風) in the past decades in Korea. Among them, Sik-bang-pung might be chosen as the herbal name, but its nominal origin could not be found. Conclusions : The herbal name, Sik-bang-pung, was presumably affected by Japanese botanical nomenclature. Although its medicinal application is still controversial, Sik-bang-pung should be considered an independent herbal medicine.

This study was performed to analyze the effects of WhoaDam-JiHae PyeongChunYak on contracted tracheal smooth muscle in rat. Transverse strips were used for the experiment using organ bath. The test strip was perfused with modified Krebs-Ringer Bicarbonate solution which was aerated with 95% $O_2$-5% $CO_2$ mixed gas and kept at $37^{\circ}C$. WhoaDam-JiHae PyeongChunYak extract and acetylcholine infused tracheal strip that was contracted with acetylcholine. The results were as follows : 1. The contractile force of tracheal strip by acetylcholine was significantly increased by Pinelliae Rhizoma, Arisaematis Rhizoma, Sinapis Semen. Typhonii Rhizoma, Peucedani Radix, Eriobotryae Folium, Platycodi Radix, Bambusae Caulis Taeniam, Benincasae Semen, Armeniacae Amarum Semen, Asteris Radix, Periliae Fructus, Mori cortex and Lepidii Semen. 2. Arisaematis Rhizoma($1{\mu}{\ell}/m{\ell}$, $3{\mu}{\ell}/m{\ell}$, $10{\mu}{\ell}/m{\ell}$) and Asteris Radix($1{\mu}{\ell}/m{\ell}$, $3{\mu}{\ell}/m{\ell}$) slightly relaxed the contracted tracheal strip by acetylcholine. 3. Farfarae Flos significantly relaxed the contracted tracheal strip by acetylcholine. 4. The contractile force of tracheal strip by acetylcholine was significantly increased by Stemonae Radix at $30{\mu}{\ell}/m{\ell}$, on the other hand Stemonae Radix at $100{\mu}{\ell}/m{\ell}$ significantly relaxed the contracted tracheal strip by acetylcholine.

This research was to investigate inhibitory activity of Sasang medicines on Obesity. 56 kind of herb medicines to powder, abstract add 100 times methanol.

Objectives : Peucedani Radix ('Jeonho' in Korean) is the root of Peucedanum praeruptorum or Angelica decursiva. However, the root of Anthriscus sylvestris has usually been distributed as Jeonho. This study was performed to determine the discriminative criteria of Jeonho, focused on distribution in Korean markets. Methods : We have determined identification keys to discriminate each Jeonho samples, through observation of external morphology of original plants, and the research of external and internal morphological features of dried Jeonho herbs. Results : Because of identical to the Korean plant name 'Jeonho', Anthrisci Radix had been came into use as a substitute of Jeonho in Korea during the time of Japanese colonial rule. The original plants of Jeonho and its substitute are discriminated with shape of leaf, leaf margin and color of stem. External morphological features of the medicinal herbs of Jeonho are different in the color of cross-sections, pellucid dot, white powder. Internal morphological points, such as fiber bundle of xylem, seconadary mudullary ray and ray of xylem were also used as discriminative criteria for Jeonho. Further details(e.g. identificaion keys) are in the article. Conclusions : We think that these discriminative criteria will be meaningful in identifying the substitutes and adulterants of Jeonho.

The antidiabetic activity-guided fractionation and isolation of the 80% EtOH extracts from Peucedani Radix (Peucedanum japonicum, Umbelliferae) led to the isolation and characterization of a coumarin and a cyclitol as active principles, that is, peucedanol 7-O-${\beta}$ -D-glucopyranoside (1) and myo-inositol (2). Their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods. Compound 1 showed 39% inhibition of postprandial hyperglycemia at 5.8 mg/kg dose, and compound 2 also significantly inhibited postprandial hyperglycemia by 34% (P<0.05).
