Byakangelicin, a main furanocoumarin constituent isolated and characterized as an aldose reductase inhibitor from the roots of Angelica dahurica, it is effective for the treatment of sugar cataracts and diabetic neuropathy in rats and hence might be useful as a lead compound for the development of new type drugs for clinical use.[2]
