トウキ 当帰 tōki (jap.), Japanese angelica, Japanische Engelwurz

Perennial herb, 30–100cm high, native to Japan and Korea, cultivated there; root yellow-brown, strongly aromatic.
„The roots are used in Jilin as a regional substitute for the traditional Chinese medicine dang gui (see Angelica sinensis).“ http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200015350

„Dried roots of Angelica acutiloba (Yamato-toki in Japanese) are one of the popular varieties of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that have been used for its pharmacological benefits in treating female gynecological illnesses, such as menstrual disorders, urgent premature birth, and menopause. For these reasons, Yamato-toki roots arewidely commercialized in Japan. However, as Yamato-toki roots are traditional medicines sold primarily by professional herbalists, commercial values of them are determined by their subjective observations of smell, taste and appearances.“

„Insecticidal activity of Angelica acutiloba extract and its constituents was investigated and compared with that of rotenone. Bioassay-guided isolation of the chloroform extract of A. acutiloba against larvae of Drosophila melanogaster afforded two phthalides, (Z)-butylidenephthalide (1) and (Z)-ligustilide (2), and two furanocoumarins, xanthotoxin (3) and isopimpinellin (4)… To determine the insecticide mode of action for acute adulticidal activity, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity was also investigated in vitro, and the result indicated that the acute adulticidal activity of compounds 3 and 4 was due to the inhibition of AChE.“
