Chinese crude drug 'Kang Whal' has been used mainly as a headache in common cold, rheumatic arthralgia and aching of the back and shoulder. To clarify the botanical origin of Kang Whal from Korea, the anatomical characteristics of Ostericum koreanum Maxim. and Notopterygium incisium Ting ex H.T.Chang were studied. As a result, it was clarified that Kang Whal from Korea was the underground part of Ostericum koreanum.

Systematic fractionation of Angelica gigas roots led to the isolation of linear coumarins such as decursinol angelate, decursin and nodakenin. These compounds were tested for their effects on rat lens aldose reductase. Nodakenin was demonstrated to exhibit significant inhibition of rat lens aldose reductase activity with $IC_{50}$ value of $7.33\Mu\textrm{M}$.

Thirty species of Korean medicinal plants which have been frequently used in Oriental herb prescriptions were evaluated on their acute toxicity and potential antitumor activities against P-388 lymphocytic leukemia. The criteria for toxicity evaluation of measuring weight loss, toxicity day survivors and computing log cell kill indicated that 11 species possessed acute toxicity according to the doses administered. No significant antitumor activities were observed while the root of Angelica gigas Nakai (Umbelliferae) exhibited only 24% increased life span.

Five coumarins and a pyrimidine were isolated from the roots of Angelica gigas. Their structures were elucidated as bergapten (1), decursinol angelate (2), decursin (3), nodakenetin (4), uracil (5) and nodakenin (6) by spectral analysis. Among them, bergapten (1) and uracil (5) were isolated for the first time from this plant part.
