Nodakenin, a coumarin isolated from the roots of Angelica biserrata (Shan et Yuan) Yuan etShan, possesses neuroprotective, antiaggregatory, antibacterial, and memory

Isoimperatorin is a medicinal herbal product that is isolated from the dried roots of Angelicae dahuricae ,can inhibit the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and COX-1-dependent phases of prostaglandin D 2 (PGD 2 ) generation in bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) in a concentration-dependent manner, with IC 50 values of 10.7 μM and 24 μM, respectively; it may provide the basis for novel anti-inflammatory drugs.

Sphondin, a furanocoumarin derivative isolated from Heracleum laciniatum, possesses an inhibitory effect on IL-1beta-induced increase in the level of COX-2 protein and PGE(2) release in A549 cells, the inhibitory mechanism, at least in part, through suppression of NF-kappaB activity, suggests that sphondin may have the therapeutic potential as an anti-inflammatory drug on airway inflammation.

Nodakenetin displays the least irritant and least persistent reactions on mouse ears, and exhibits the least cytotoxic capacity against brine shrimp larvae.

Umbelliferone (UMB), a natural antioxidant, is benzopyrone in nature, and it is present in the fruits of golden apple and bitter orange, UMB has a protective effect on membrane fatty acid composition of liver and kidney as supported by antioxidant and antihyperlipidemic effects of UMB reported earlier as evidenced by improved histopathological changes, hepatic and nephritic markers, indicating recovery from the risk of diabetic complications; UMB has antihyperglycemic effect, UMB at 30 mg/kg of body weight possesses a promising antihyperglycemic effect that is comparable with glibenclamide.[1,2]

Imperatorin, a biologically active furanocoumarin from the roots of Angelica dahurica (Umbelliferae), can induce apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukaemia, HL-60 cells,
