Decursin is a cumarin isolated from Radix peucedani that exhibits a number of physiological actions including anticancer, antibacterial, antinematodal and antioxidant. Decursin is potent anti-angiogenic agent targeting the VEGFR-2 signaling pathway. Decursin exhibits potent neuroprotective activity against glutamate and Ab- induced neurotoxicity. Apparently, decursin stimulates activation of Nerf2. Also, decursin inhibits androgen stimulated AR translocation to the nucleus in LNCaP prostate cancer cells.
