Abstract:
Nine coumarins were isolated from dichloromethane extract of the roots of
Angelica pubescens Maxim. Seven of them were identified as osthol (Ⅰ), columbianetin acetate (Ⅱ), columbianetin (Ⅲ), bergapten (Ⅳ), angelol (Ⅴ),xanthotoxin (Ⅵ) and isoimperatorin (Ⅶ). (Ⅵ) and (Ⅶ) were isolated for the first time from this plant. Two new coumarins were elucidated as isoangelol (Ⅷ), a geometric isomer of angelol C
20H
24O
7 αD20-133.5 and anpubesol C
20H
26O
7 αD20 -72.5 on the basis of spectral evidences.
