    Product Description

    Decursinol angelate is a pyranocoumarin that has been found in the Korean medicinal herb A. gigas and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3,4,5 It inhibits the growth of K562, HL-60, KG-1, SK-BR-3, AGS, A549, HeLa, HepG2, and G-361 cancer cells (ED50s = 24-56 μM) and decreases estrogen-stimulated growth of MCF-7 breast cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner via decreased estrogen receptor α (ERα) protein levels and signaling activity.1,2 Decursinol angelate (30 μM) activates PKC purified from rat brain.1 It selectively inhibits the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP1A1/2 over CYP2D15 and CYP3A12 in canine liver microsomes (Kis = 67.56, 872.5, and 853.9 μM, respectively).3 Decursinol angelate (0.01-10 μM) reduces cytotoxicity and malondialdehyde (MDA) production induced by amyloid-β (23-35) (Aβ25-35) and increases superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities in PC12 cells.4 In mice, decursinol angelate (200 mg/kg) has antinociceptive activity in the tail flick and hot plate tests and reduces acetic acid-induced writhing as well as decreases production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β.5
