摘要

Natural products in Chonnam, the Republic of Korea were screened via anti-angiogenesis experiments, and one candidate product of A. radix extract (ARE) was identified. A. radix extract (ARE) exerted dose-dependent inhibitory effects against angiogenesis, adipogenesis, and cell adhesion. ARE exhibits an angiogenesis inhibitory effect superior to that of the EGCG from the green tea leaves. The expression level of angiogenesis and adipogenesis-related signal molecules in the Western blotting was reduced by increasing the amount of added ARE. Moreover, a diet supplemented with ARE was deemed more effective in inducing weight loss in LB mice than a representative synthetic diet drug, orlistat, which incidentally caused the side effects of denuding the mice of their hair. These results indicate that ARE may prove to be a useful anti-adipogenic compound, and the in vitro results may be reflected at a later time under in vivo conditions.
