    Product Description

    Byakangelicin is a coumarin that has been found in A. dahurica and has diverse biological activities.1,2 It inhibits the activity of aldose reductase (IC50 = 6.2 µM for the bovine lens enzyme) and reduces cataract formation in a rat model of galactosemia when administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg per day.1 Byakangelicin (30 µM) decreases LPS-induced production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2; Item No. 14010) in isolated rat peritoneal macrophages.2 It reduces cartilage erosion and loss of proteoglycan in the inflamed joints in a mouse model of surgically induced osteoarthritis when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg.3
