|
We investigated the biological activities of extracts from the flowers of Angelica gigas Nakai. The IC?? of the DPPH radical scavenging activity was 3,535 and 105.0 ㎍/㎖ in the water and ethanol extracts, respectively, whereas it was 12.7 ㎍/㎖ for ascorbic acid. The results showed that the total polyphenol content of the ethanol extracts (48.43±0.18 ㎎/g) was higher than that of the water extracts (39.03±0.69 ㎎/g). The flavonoid content of the ethanol extracts (67.02±4.38 ㎎/g) was higher than that of the water extracts (50.32±1.24 ㎎/g). The ethanol extract showed a 34.45% lower α-glucosidase inhibition activity than that for acarbose. The ethanol extract showed a 23.62% lower α-amylase inhibition activity compared with that for acarbose. The water extract showed 16.76% lower pancreatic lipase inhibition activity. Anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activity was also lower. These results suggest that the flower of Angelica gigas Nakai may be useful as an anti-oxidative agent.
