Coumarins from the Roots of Angelica laxiflora DIELS

Coumarins from Angelica lucida L.--antibacterial activities.

The first phytochemical investigation of the fruits of Angelica lucida has led to the isolation and characterization of five known coumarins (imperatorin, isoimperatorin, heraclenol, oxypeucedanin hydrate and heraclenin). All isolated compounds were identified by means of spectral and literature data. The extracts and the isolated constituents from A. lucida have been also evaluated for their a...

Four phthalides from the roots of Angelica sinensis

The rhizome of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels (Umbelliferae) is known as "Danggui" in China, has been used widely in traditional Chinese medicine to treat irregular menstruation, anaemia, headache, hypertension, chronic asthma and rheumatism. From the ethyl acetate extract of its roots four phthalides have been isolated. Their structures were identified by MS and NMR spectroscopic methods to b...

Two New Furanocoumarins from the Roots of Angelica dahurica

Chalcones, coumarins, and flavanones from the exudate of Angelica keiskei and their chemopreventive effects.

From an ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of the exudate obtained from the stems of Angelica keiskei (Umbelliferae), 17 compounds, viz. five chalcones (1-5), seven coumarins (6-12), three flavanones (13-15), one diacetylene (16), and one 5-alkylresorcinol (17), were isolated. These compounds were evaluated with respect to their inhibitory effects on the induction of Epstein-Barr virus early antige...

Pterocarpans from Derris laxiflora.

Six compounds were isolated from Derris laxiflora Benth., including two new pterocarpans, 7,6'-dihydroxy-3'-methoxypterocarpan (1) and derrispisatin (2), as well as four known ones, lespedezol D, (3), secundiflorol 1 (4), 6a-hydroxymaackiain (5) and pisatin (6). The structures of these compounds were determined by analysis of their spectroscopic data.
