Coumarins and antiplatelet aggregation constituents from Formosan Peucedanum japonicum

Phytochemistry. 1996 Feb;41(2):525-30. doi: 10.1016/0031-9422(95)00625-7.

Abstract

Four new khellactone esters, (-)-trans-3'-acetyl-4'-senecioylkhellactone, (+-)-cis-3'-acetyl-4'-tigloylkhellactone, (+-)-cis-4-tigloylkhellactone, (+)-trans-4'-tigloylkhellactone, together with 14 known coumarins, isoimperatorin, psoralen, bergapten, xanthotoxol, cnidilin, (-)-selinidin, (-)-deltoin, (+)-pteryxin, (+)-peucedanocoumarin III, xanthotoxin, imperatorin, (+)-marmesin, (+)-oxypeucedanin hydrate, (+)-peucedanol and three chromones, eugenin, (-)-hamaudol, (+)-visamminol, have been isolated from the root of Formosan Peucedanum japonicum. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectral data. The identities of (+)-trans-3'-tigloyl-4'-acetylkhellactone, formerly reported as a new compound, and (+)-cis-3'-angeloyl-4'-acetyl-khellactone, with the known (+)-peucedanocoumarin III and (+)-pteryxin, respectively, are discussed. Among the isolates, seven compounds, eugenin, (-)-selinidin, (+)-pteryxin, imperatorin, bergapten, cnidilin and (+)-visamminol, show strong antiplatelet aggregation activity in vitro.
