NCT02114957

Brief Summary

This study is to investigate how human bodies absorb and metabolize two herbal drugs. The information is critical for drug development and could not be obtained from any other studies using animals. The two herbal drugs are decursin and decursinol angelate (DA) which naturally exist in a traditional herb Angelica gigas Nakai (AGN). Preclinical and clinical studies indicated that AGN and decursin/DA were quite safe to animals and human.
