Anti-tumor activities of decursinol angelate and decursin fromAngelica gigas

Abstract: The in vivo anti-tumor activities of decursinol angelate (1) and decursin (2) isolated from the roots of Angelica gigas were investigated. These two compounds, when administered consecutively for 9 days at 50 and 100 mg/kg i.p. in mice, caused a significant increase in the life span and a significant decrease in the tumor weight and volume of mice inoculated with Sarcoma-180 tumor cells. These results suggest that decursinol angelate (1) and decursin (2) from A. gigas have anti-tumor activities.

“…The multiple pharmacological activities reported for A. gigas include antibacterial, antiplatelet aggregation, antioxidant, antinematodal, and also anticancer [12]. INM-176 has been reported as neuroprotective agent as it reduces the lipopolysaccharide-induced neuronal injury and also improves the scopolamine-induced cognitive dysfunction through inhibiting the various proinflammatory mediators as well as by inhibiting the AchE (anticholinesterase).The constituents such as decursin, decursinol angelate, chlorogenic acid, and ferulic acid have been reported to have antioxidant activity [10,11,19]. Therefore, it may be possible In the present study, global ischemia accompanied by reperfusion for 30 and 120 minutes, respectively, was given and it results into oxidative stress associated with increased in formation of various ROS which may be responsible for myocardial injury.…”

“…Many studies have been undertaken to elucidate the anticancer effects of decursin on apoptosis induction and inhibition of cell growth in several cancer cell lines (8,9). However, the molecular mechanism by which decursin inhibits cell proliferation, including cross-talk between the cell cycle and the signaling pathway, is not yet understood.…”

“…There are some reports about the pharmacological effects of this compound showing anti-bacterial and anti-leukemic activity, activation of protein kinase C, an and anti-angiogenic effect (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Decursin reportedly inhibits growth and promotes apoptosis in several other cancer cells (8,9). However, there has been no report of the relationship between cell cycle regulation and the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) activation in impairing the growth of cancer cells.…”

“…Earlier investigations on the chemical constituents of A. gigas mainly dealt with the isolation of coumarins (Ryu et al, 1990;Jung et al, 1991;Pachaly et al, 1996;Lee et al, 2002). The literature survey revealed that several pharmacological works, anti-tumor, inhibition of hepatic microsomal drug metabolizing enzyme, and inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activities, have been carried out on A. gigas (Shin et al, 1996;Kang et al, 2001;Lee et al, 2003;Lee et al, 2009; Decursin was purifi ed from Angelica gigas Nakai, and its effects on the human Kv1.5 (hKv1.5) currents were recorded in mouse fi broblasts (Ltk − cells) by whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Decursin inhibited hKv1.5 current in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC 50 value of 2.7 μM at +60 mV.…”
