angelica dahurica/carbohydrate

We investigated the antioxidant activities of different solvent extracts of Angelica amurensis root (AAR). The yield of aqueous extract was the highest. The methanol extract had the highest total phenolic content and total flavonoid content. The aqueous extract showed the highest total

Mild acid hydrolysis of an anti-complementary arabinogalactan (AGIIb-1), isolated from the roots of Angelica acutiloba Kitagawa, gave one neutral (N-I) and two acidic arabinogalactans (A-I and A-II) and one neutral arabinan (N-II). Likewise, the product (AF-AGIIb-1) of digestion with

Angelica radix (Danggui in Chinese) used in China and Japan is derived from two species of Angelica, namely Angelica sinensis and Angelica acutiloba, respectively. The differences in quality between A. sinensis radix (ASR) and A. acutiloba radix (AAR) should be therefore investigated to guide the

The dried root of Angelica sinensis is widely used in Chinese traditional medicine for its beneficial effects against several diseases, including osteoarthritis. In order to understand the mechanism of action, two main components of the plant, the phytochemical, sodium ferulate, and a

Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a potential target for acute myeloid leukemia therapeutics which contains a carbohydrate-recognition domain. However, the development of polysaccharide inhibitors against Gal-3 is insufficient. In this research, we found a polysaccharide from Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels,

A low molecular weight polysaccharide has been isolated from the rhizome of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels (Umbelliferaer). It has a molecular weight of approximately 3,000 and consists of protein (4.73%) and carbohydrate (85.85%) of which 5.2% is uronic acid. It shows strong anti-tumor activity on

The polysaccharide APS-2a was isolated from Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels through water extraction, deprotein, ethanol precipitation and DEAE-sephades A-25 column chromatography respectively,and was further purified by Sephacryl S-400 and Sephadex G-100 column chromatography. The phenol-sulfuric
