Antimicrobial activity of the polar and nonpolar extracts of the roots and aerial parts of Peucedanum ruthenicum M. Bieb., Johreniopsis seseloides (C. A. Mey.) Pimenov and Cervaria cervariifolia (C. A. Mey.) Pimenov were examined against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The polar extracts of the roots and aerial parts displayed no activity against bact...

A preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) method for isolation and purification of coumarins from Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn (Baihuaqianhu in Chinese) was successfully established by using light petroleum-ethyl acetate-methanol-water as the two-phase solvent system in gradient elution mode. The upper phase of light petroleum-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (5:5:5:5, v/v) wa...

Essential oil from herb and rhizome of Peucedanum ostruthium (L.Koch.) ex DC underwent qualitative and quantitative analyses. The content of the oil obtained by hydrodistillation was 0.95% in the herb and 1.25% in the rhizome (per dry weight basis). Gas chromatography (GC) with MS detection and flame ionisation detection showed that the oil from the rhizome contains 39 compounds, of which 29 we...
