摘要
A cytotoxic compound was purified hem the root of Angelica gigas Nakai by silica gel chromatography and preparative HPLC. As a result of the struc ture analysis by mass, IR, H-1-NMR, and C-13-NMR spectrometry, the effective compound was identified as decursin, a pyranocoumarin characterized originally from Angelica decursiva Fr. et Sav. In vitro cytotoxicity testing showed that decursin displayed toxic activity against various human cancer cell lines, for which the EDS, of decursin was about 5-16 mu g/ml. On the other hand, decursin displayed relatively low cytotoxicity against normal fibroblasts. Decursin also activated protein kinase C (PKC) in vitro, which indicates that the cytotoxic activity of decursin may be related to the protein kinase C activation.
