Angelica species from Korea has been used mainly as to promoting blood circulation, relieving pain and headache in common cold in Korea. To clarify the botanical origin of Angelica species from Korea, the anatomical characteristics of Angelica gigas, Angelica koreanum and Angelica purpuraefolia were studied. As a result, it was found the fact that the internal morphological patterns for the three Angelica species could discriminate from them by the secretory canal, xylem fiber and vascular bundle. According to these three criteria, Angelica species from Korea could be clearly distinguished so that the toxication by Angelica purpuraefolia can be prevented.

본 실험은 강활(O. koreanum)과 지리강활(A.purpuraefolia)의 체세포배 발생을 위한 효율적인 세포배양시스템을 확립하고자 실시하였다. 강활과 지리강활의 개화후 3주된 미숙종자는 0.1 mg/L 2,4-D와 0.1 mg/L BA 혼용처리구에서 배발생캘러스와 체세포배 발생이 가장 양호하였고, 0.1-3.0mg/L NAA가 처리된 배지에서 재분화된 식물체의 자엽과 배축의 가장자리로부터 직접 체세포배가 발생하였다. 미숙종자의 휴면을 고려하여 저온처리한 결과, 5$^{\circ}C$에서 10일동안 저장 후, 25$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$에서 배양하였을 때 반응이 없던 배양체로부터 배발생 캘러스와 체세포배가 발생하였고 이 체세포배는 줄기와 뿌리로 분화되었다. 지리강활에서는 배지내 첨가한 glutamine과 coconut milk의 뚜렷한 효과가 인정되지 않았다. 그러나 강활의 경우에는 대조구에 비하여 glutamine과 10% coconut milk가 포함된 배지에서 체세포배 발생률이 항상되었고 특히 glutamine은 coconut milk에 비해 NH$_4$NO$_3$ 대체효과가 인정되었다. 체세포배의 器內 식물체전환율은 MS 기본배지에서 89.1%로 가장 양호하였고 배발생 캘러스의 증식용 배지로는 0.01 mg/L 2,4-D와 0.01 mg/L BA혼용처리구에서 가장 좋았다.

Four furocoumarins and two dihydrofuranocoumarin glycosides have been isolated from the benzene-soluble and butanol-soluble portions of the roots of Ostericum koreanum Kitagawa, respectively. Four furocoumarins have been determined as imperatorin, isoimperatorin, oxypeucedanin and oxypeucedanin hydrate, and two dihydrofuranocoumarin glycosides determined as marmesinin and $4'-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl-3'-hydroxymarmesin$ on the basis of spectral data and physico-chemical evidence.

Angelica genuflexa (Umbelliferae) is a perennial herbaceous plant which has also been variously reported as A. koreana and Ostericum koreanum. The MeOH extract was reported to have strong anti-thrombotic potential in the acute thrombosis model. In our preliminary testing, the MeOH extract and one of the solvent fractions (90% MeOH fr.) were observed to have both platelet anti-aggregating and anti-coagulant effects. Five coumarins, isoimperatorin (1), pabulenol (2), isooxypeucedanin (3), oxypeucedanin hydrate (4) and osthol (5) were isolated from the MeOH extract of Angelica genuflexa in the course of searching for anti-platelet and anti-coagulant components.

Umbelliferae medicinal crops have low germination under natural condition. Special objective of this study is to investigate morphological characteristics of seeds and effects of environmental factors such as light and temperature on their germination and seedling growth in Umbelliferae plants, using them as oriental medicine materials. Fruits of Umbelliferae are bi-partite type and form 2 seeds. Their oil canals and funiculus or carpaphore has apparently specific shape. Seed shape of Buplerum falcatum, Ligusticum acutilobum and Foeniculum vulgare are oblong, Ledeboutiella seseloides, Angelica dahurica, Angelica gigas elliptic, and Ostericum koreanum ovate. Color of seed coats varied from yellow to dark brown. Seed size was 3.2 to 6.9 mm in length, 1.7 to 4.9 mm in width. One thousand-seed weight of Buplerum falcatum was lowest(at 1,660 mg) and Ledebouriella seseloides and Angelica gigas were relatively highest(at 3,970 mg) having larger size than any others. Optimum temperatures for seed germination and seedling growth ranged from 20 to $25^{\circ}C$ and especially temperature at $25^{\circ}C$ improved seed germinations of Ledebouriella seseloides, Angelica dahurica and Ligusticum acutilobum regardless of light condition.

Nitric Oxide (NO), derived from L-arginine, is produced by two types (constitutive and inducible) of nitric oxide synthase (NOS: cNOS and iNOS). The NO produced in large amounts by the iNOS is known to be responsible for the vasodilation and hypotension observed in septic shock, cancer metastasis and inflammation. The inhibitors of iNOS, thus, may be useful candidates for the treatment of inflammatory diseases accompanied by the overproduction of NO. We prepared alcoholic extracts of herbal drugs which have been used for the treatment of inflammation in oriental medicine. We have screened the inhibitory activity of NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages after the treatment of these extracts. Among 82 kinds of extracts of herbal drugs, 35 extracts showed the potent inhibitory activity of NO production above 50% at the concentration of $50\;{\mu}g/mL$. The inhibitory activities of NO production were also evaluated for several solvent fractions at two different concentrations. Especially, hexane and EtOAc fractions of Alpinia officinarum, Angelica gigas, Ostericum koreanum, Saussurea lappa, Torilis japonica, and hexane fractions of Agrimonia pilosa, Machilus thunbergii, Hydrangea serrata, Magnolia obovata, Prunella vulgaris, Tussilago farfara, and EtOAC fractions of Perilla frutescence showed a significant activity at 10 and/or $25\;{\mu}g/mL$. In Western blot analysis, the hexane fractions ($5\;{\mu}g/mL$) of Magnolia obovata and Saussurea lappa, and EtOAc fractions ($20\;{\mu}g/mL$) of Hydrangea Serrata, Perilla frutescence and Torilis japonica inhibited the expression of iNOS protein in LPS-activated macrophages. These plants may be promising candidates for the study of the activity-guided purification of active compounds and might be useful for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and endotoxemia accompanying overproduction of NO.

Water extracts from 20 medicinal plants, traditionally used for postmenopausal symptoms in Korea, were examined for their vasorelaxant activity in isolated rat thoracic aorta rings precontracted with norepinephrine (NE). Among the 20 medicinal plants, Cornus officinalis (CoEx, 0.3 mg/mL), Schisandra chinensis (ScEx, 0.3 mg/mL), Erythrina variegate (EvEx, 0.3 mg/mL), and Epimedium koreanum (EkEx, 0.3 mg/mL) showed rapid relaxation of endothelium-intact aorta ($69\pm4%$, $40\pm3%$, $25\pm2%$, and $23\pm3%$ of active tone induced by NE, respectively). In contrast, the extracts of Erythrina variegata (EvEx), Angelica gigas (AgEx), Pueraria thunbergiana (PtEx), and EkEx lead to gradual (i.e., long-term) relaxation to baseline in endothelium-intact vessels. The time to complete relaxation was 20～40 min. These 6 plant extracts were selected for the investigation of possible underlying mechanisms. The CoEx-, ScEx-, or EkEx-induced rapid relaxations were virtually abolished by endothelium denudation, and were significantly inhibited by pretreatment with nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor $N^G$-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA, 10 ${\mu}M$), indicating that increased formation of NO might contribute to the endothelium-mediated relaxation. In long-term responses, the endothelium denudation did not affect PtEx-induced relaxation, whereas it delayed responses by EvEx and AgEx, and significantly inhibited the effect of EkEx. Among EvEx, AgEx, and PtEx, EvEx attenuated the $CaCl_2$-induced vasoconstriction in high-potassium depolarized medium, implying that EvEx is involved in inhibition of the extracellular calcium influx to smooth muscle through voltage dependent calcium channels. These results provide the scientific rationale for the interrelationships between the use of 20 medicinal plants and their effects on cardiovascular health in estrogen deficient conditions.
