Angelica biserrata
Angelica biserrata
Angelica biserrata is a plant traditionally used with no specific recorded practices. Scientific studies have shown that frost exposure can increase osthole content in its root bark, and two novel sesquiterpenoid isomers isolated from the roots exhibited anti-inflammatory activity in vitro. The first draft genome of Angelica biserrata has been sequenced, providing insights into coumarin biosynthesis and advancing evolutionary research, with environmental factors like elevation and temperature significantly influencing coumarin content. No major safety issues or recorded drug interactions have been noted for this plant.
