The present study was aimed at comprehensive overviewing a phytochemically and biologically important species namely Torilis japonica (Apiaceae family). Treatment of dysentery, fever, haemorrhoids, spasm, uterine tumors, lymphadenitis, rheumatism, impotence, infertility, women's diseases, and chronic diarrhea are reported as the main folk medicinal applications of the T. japonica fruits. So far, the plant is phytochemically characterized for its diverse terpene derivatives, predominantly sesquiterpenes. The plant's fruit is a rich source of torlin, a guaiane-type sesquiterpene, possessing various potent bioactivities. To date, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, skin photoaging activities of the plant extracts and its constituents have been evaluated. Further investigation of the plant, specifically bioassay-guided isolation and identification of its major bioactive constituents can lead to discover potential phytopharmaceutical candidates.

(TJ) fruit, is a herb that is traditionally used for erectile dysfunction (ED). Given the shared mechanisms of ED and hypertension through vascular smooth muscle, we hypothesized that TJ would be effective in vasodilation and blood pressure reduction. This study confirmed the authenticity of TJ samples via DNA barcoding and quantified the main active compound, torilin, using HPLC.

As one of the major intractable allergic disorders, atopic inflammation is commonly accompanied by itching, dry skin, and inflammation. Atopic inflammation deteriorates the quality of life and has no fundamental cure, so it is crucial to urgently explore and develop natural resources for long-term treatment without any side effects. This study aimed to verify extract (TJE)'s relieving effect and mechanism against atopic inflammation using skin cells and skin equivalent models, as well as to investigate torilin's effect (obtained from TJE) and other unknown components as marker compounds.

The goal of the current study is to assess the antitumor mechanism by the combination (7:3) of Angelica gigas and Torilis japonica (AT) that was found most effective through screening against prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in LNCaP prostate cancer cells. Here, AT reduced the viability and the number of colonies in androgen-dependent LNCaP cells more than in androgen independent PC3 and DU145 cells. Also, AT induced G1 phase arrest, cleaved PARP and caspase 3, activated p27 and decreased the expression of Cyclin D1, Cyclin E, cdk2 in LNCaP cells.
