Phytochemical analysis of Ferulogo Bernardii Tomk and M. Pimen

From the hexane extract of the aerial parts of Ferulago Bernardii [Apiaceae] four coumarins, namely prantschimgin 1, oxypeucedanin 2, psoralen 3 and umbelliferone 4; beta-sitosterol 5; and nonacosane 6 were isolated by Column Chromatography [CC], Preparative Thin Layer Chromatography [PTLC] and crystallization. The structures were elucidated by melting point, UV, IR, MS, 1H and 13C-NMR spectra. The presence of compounds 1, 2, 3 and 5 in some others Ferulago species could be used as chemotaxonomic marker in genus Ferulago. This is the first report on phytochemical analysis of Ferulago Bernardii Tomk. and M. Pimen
