Furanocoumarins from the root of Angelica dahurica

Arch Pharm Res. 2000 Oct;23(5):467-70. doi: 10.1007/BF02976574.

Abstract

Five furanocoumarins including a new one were isolated from the root of Angelica dahurica by repeated silica gel column chromatography. Their chemical structures were determined to be isoimperatorin (1), oxypeucedanin hydrate-3"-butyl ether (2), imperatorin (3), knidilin (4), and oxypeucedanin hydrate (5). This represents the first study in which the compound 2 has been isolated and identified. The long-range coupling (5J) in the 1H-NMR spectrum observed in the linear furanocoumarin skeleton was also investigated in detail.
