Objectives : To compare the anti-oxidant effects of Ligusticum chuanxiang and Cnidium officinale extracts and their mixture with Angelica gigas, we investigated the anti-oxidative activities using rat liver tissues. Methods : We investigated the anti-oxidative activities by analysis of lipid peroxidation, xanthine oxidase activity, aldehyde oxidase activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, superoxide dismutase activity and catalase activity in rat liver tissues. Results : Both Ligusticum chuanxing and Cnidium offieinale inhibited the lipid peroxidation compared to the control, there is no significant differences between two groups. Cnidium officinale showed strong inhibitory effects on xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase activities compared with that of Ligusticum chuanxing. Ligusticum chuanxing and Cnidium officinale were scavenged the hydroxy radicals, and increased SOD and catalase activities. These results suggested that Ligusticum chuanxing and Cnidium officinale were showed antioxidant activity, especially Cnidium officinale showed higher activity than Ligusticum chuanxing. Conclusions: These results suggest that Ligusticum chuanxing could be replaced by Cmdium afficinale in clinical trial.

1. 2.4-D 0.5mg/1에서 배발생캘러스 생장과 발생빈도가 가장 양호하였다. 2. 배지 중에서 MS배지가 체세포배 형성과 생육에 좋았으며, 1X MS배지 보다 1/2X MS배지가 배형성에 더 효과적이었다. 3. 탄소원으로는 sucrose가 효과적이었다. 농도는 1%처리가 가장 양호하였으며 농도가 높아짐에 따라 체세포배 형성이 억제되었다. 4. Sucrose 대신 sugar 처리에서도 체세포배 형성이 앙호하였다. 5. 질소원으로는 $KNO_3\;825mg\;/\;l$ 와 $NH_{4}NO_3$ 238mg /l 처리가 배발생에 가장 효과적이었다.

Ligusticum Chuanxiong and its components were reviewed in terms of pharmacodynamic mechanisms. Three components of about 40 chemical components in Chuanxiong tetramethylpyrazine, ferulinolol and Butylidenephthalide have mainly been studied for its pharmacodynamic mechanisms which are focused on the increase in blood flow and anti-oxidative stress. The mechanisms for the effects of Chuanxiong on the increase in blood flow can be summarized as four ways, 1) anti-coagulation 2) blocker of ${\beta}1$ adrenergic receptor 3) cellular control of Ca++ level 4) collagen synthesis. Chuanxiong also showed the effectiveness on free radical-induced injury. It seems that its effectiveness is also related to the mechanisms for the increase in blood flow.
