Xanthoangeleol

Research has proven Xanthoangelol, 4-hydroxyderricin, and Xanthoangelol E to have anti-tumor-promoting activity and the two chalcones, xanthoangelol and 4-hydroxyderricin, isolated from the root of Angelica keiskei koidzumi showed antibacterial activity. Xanthoangelol E inhibits thrombosis, ulcers, excessive secretion of gastric juices, and general inflammatory processes.
