  • To evaluate influence of Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk extract on rat, Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk extract was diluted with 0.9% saline (100 mg/ml/kg, 10 mg/ml/kg, and 1 mg/ml/kg, respectively), and each of diluted test material extract was daily treated subcutaneously for 4 weeks and single-treated subcutaneously for 2 weeks. There were no significances in body weight analysis, urinary analysis, and ophthalmological test. However, in serum biochemical analysis and hematological analysis, we found some significances in high and middle dose group compared with control group. These significances in serum biochemical analysis and hematological analysis may be not induced by test material, because it was not found to be significant from control group in histopathological examination. Therefore, it was concluded that NOEL (No Observed Effect Level) of test material extract may be higher than all treatment doses used in this study, and Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk extract may be a non-toxic material.

  • Natural products have always been a pivotal source of new drug development. Dry roots of Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk. (Umbelliferae) is a perennial herb and is also known as Bang Pung in traditional medicine. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have revealed the diverse pharmacological effects of S. divaricata and its role in the treatment of various diseases. This herb has exhibited significant inhibitory effects against inflammation and associated disorders. The present study explored the ethnopharmacological applications and molecular mechanisms behind the anti-inflammatory effects of S. divaricata herb and a single compound blockade of multi-signaling inflammatory cascades. Taken together, this review provides insight into the potential role of S. divaricata against various inflammatory diseases.

  • Objectives: Notopterygium incisum(N. incisum) and Saposhnikovia divaricata(S. divaricata) have been clinically used in traditional oriental medicine for treatment of inflammatory diseases. Also, a herbal mixture prepared with N. incisum and S. divaricata has been strongly linked to the anti-inflammatory effect. In this study, we evaluate the synergistic anti-inflammatory effect of N. incisum and S. divaricata. Methods: For evaluating the anti-inflammatory activity of a herbal mixture of N. incisum and S. divaricata in vivo, we measured the changed ear thickness in 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate(TPA)-induced mouse ear edema model after topical application of herbal mixture. In addition, the levels of markers for inflammation, such as tumore necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$, interleukin (IL)-1${\beta}$, and nitric oxide(NO), were determined by ELISA assay in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated Raw 264.7 cells. Results: We reported that water extracts of N. incisum and S. divaricata combination significantly inhibited the mouse ear edema induced by TPA. Moreover, the water extracts of N. incisum and S. divaricata combination exhibited synergistic effects in down-regulating IL-1${\beta}$ level, but not TNF-${\alpha}$ and NO. Conclusions: These results suggest that combined treatment of N. incisum and S. divaricata, based on seven methods in prescription compatibility, has a synergistic effect in down-regulating inflammatory response both in vivo and in vitro models. Especially, it seems that IL-1${\beta}$ is a one of main target of the mixture of N. incisum and S. divaricata on anti-inflammatory activity.

  • The roots of Saposhnikovia divaricata Schischk. (Umbelliferae) have been known to possess analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-parasitic and anti-bacterial activities, and used for curing headaches, fever and arthralgia. In this study, we aimed to isolate active constituents to provide phytochemical data for the quality control of this plant. Nine coumarins, eight chromones, three sterols and a coumarolignan were isolated from EtOAc-soluble fraction of the roots of S. divaricata through repetive column chromatography method using silica gel, ODS gel, Sephadex-LH 20, MPLC and HPLC. By analyses of spectroscopic data and comparison of their data with those of published values, the compounds were identified as 3'-O-angeloylhamaudol (1), ${\beta}$-sitosterol (2), marmesin (3), phellopterin (4), anomalin (5), imperatorin (6), xanthotoxin (7), deltoin (8), bergapten (9), stigmasterol (10), ledebouriellol (11), hamaudol (12), 8'-epicleomiscosin A (13), xanthoarnol (14), cimifugin (15), 5-O-methylvisamminol (16), daucosterol (17), 4'-O-${\beta}$-D-glucosyl-5-O-methylvisamminol (18), nodakenin (19), sec-O-glucosylhamaudol (20), prim-O-glucosylcimifugin (21). Among them, 8'-epicleomiscosin (13) was firstly reported from Umbelliferae family and xanthoarnol (14) and nodakenin (19) were isolated from this plant for the first time.

  • Objectives : Bang-poong (Saposhnikovia divaricata; SD) was traditionally used to treat inflammatory disorders. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether Bang-poong and related species including SD, Glehnia littoralis (GL), and Peucedanum japonicum (PJ) possess neuroprotective effects and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities. Methods : Roots of SD, GL and PJ were extracted with distilled water (DW) or 70% ethanol (EtOH). We assessed 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activities of the extracts. To examine neuroprotective effects, we measured cell viability in PC12 or HT22 cells after treatment of the extracts with $H_2O_2$ or amyloid-beta ($A{\beta}$). To assess anti-neuroinflammatory effects, we measured the nitric oxide (NO) levels after treatment with the extracts and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in BV2 microglial cells. In addition, we performed AChE inhibition assay to explore effects of the extracts on the cholinergic system. Results : DW and EtOH extracts of SD, GL and PJ showed mild DPPH free radical scavenging activities. Also, DW extracts of GL and PJ showed protective effects against $H_2O_2$-induced toxicity in PC12 cells. In LPS-activated BV2 cells, EtOH extracts of SD, GL and PJ exerted inhibitory effects on NO production. Meanwhile, DW extracts of SD, GL and PJ inhibited the $A{\beta}$-induced cell death in HT22 cells. In addition, DW and EtOH extracts of GL exhibited remarkable inhibitory activities on AChE. Conclusions : We demonstrated that SD, GL and PJ exert anti-oxidative, anti-neuroinflammatory and AChE inhibitory activities. These results indicate that SD, GL and PJ could be potential candidates for neurological disorders.
