Biochem/physiol Actions

Decursin is a cumarin isolated from Radix peucedani that exhibits a number of physiological actions including anticancer, antibacterial, antinematodal and antioxidant. Decursin is potent anti-angiogenic agent targeting the VEGFR-2 signaling pathway. Decursin exhibits potent neuroprotective activity against glutamate and Ab- induced neurotoxicity. Apparently, decursin stimulates activation of Nerf2. Also, decursin inhibits androgen stimulated AR translocation to the nucleus in LNCaP prostate cancer cells.

Indian journal of experimental biology, 49(11), 848-856 (2011-12-01)
The present study was undertaken to observe the inhibition of angiogenesis by decursin. It was the first time to show that decursin offered strong anti-angiogenic activities under the biologically relevant growth (with serum) conditions. Decursin significantly inhibited human umbilical vein

Phytotherapy research : PTR, 25(7), 959-964 (2010-12-21)
The principal objective of the present study was to evaluate the antimetastatic activity of decursin and decursinol isolated from Angelica gigas. Decursin and decursinol inhibited the proliferation and invasion of CT-26 colon carcinoma cells. The expressions of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2

Drug development and industrial pharmacy, 39(10), 1523-1530 (2012-09-26)
Angelica gigas Nakai and its components are known to have neuroprotective, antiplatelet, and anticancer activities. The present study evaluated the in vitro and in vivo biopharmaceutical characterization of Angelica gigas component substances, including decursin (the main substance), decursinol angelate (decursin
