Abstract: Imperatorin and isoimperatorin are important components of Angelica dahurica with many beneficial functions to human health. In this study, an ultrasound-assisted extraction technique has been developed for the fast extraction of imperatorin and isoimperatorin from Angelica dahurica root. The high extraction yield of imperatorin and isoimperatorin was obtained under optimum extraction conditions: ultrasonication time 20 min, extraction temperature 30°C, ultrasound power 240w, ethanol concentration 80%, and ratio of solvent volume to sample weight 12:1 (ml/g), particle size 60 meshes. Compared to heat-reflux extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction reduced extraction time and obtained higher percentage extracted of imperatorin and isoimperatorin. Scanning electron micrographs revealed that ultrasound could result in the destruction of cell walls, which increased the mass transfer rate of the solvents into the root materials

Abstract: The method of using macro-porous absorption resin to rurify coumarins in “Yubaizhi” angelica dahurica was used in this study. A kind of better resin was chosen from D-101 resin and HPD600 resin by the comparison of adsorption rate, desorption rate and purity. The result showed that D-101 resin was better for purifying coumrins. Then these conditions of purifying were discussed. when the sample concentration was 0.1g medicinal materials per milliliter and the adsorbent speed was 1ml/min, the effect of adsorption was better. And per gram resin could adsorb coumarins of 3g sample material. When the eluotropic speed of 80% ethanol was 1ml/min and the dosage of eluent reaches was 7 multiple of bed volume, the effect of elution was better. The result of demonstration test showed the effect of purifying coumarin was better with above-mentioned conditions.
