Chemical constituents from ethyl acetate soluble parts in roots of Angelica dahurica var. formosana / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the chemical constituents of ethyl acetate soluble parts in 70% ethanol aqueous extract from the roots of Angelica dahurica var. formosana. Methods: The compounds were separated and purified by repeated column chromatography on silica gel and HPLC, and their structures were determined by spectroscopic data analyses of MS and NMR. Results: Forty-two compounds were obtained and identified as imperatorin (1), phellopterin (2), bergaptol (3), heraclenol (4), falcarindiol (5), isoimperatorin (6), byakangelicin (7), psoralen (8), bergapten (9), isogosferol (10), japoangelol A (11), atractylenolactam (12), columbianadin (13), 5-hydroxy-8-methoxypsoralen (14), (8E)-1,8-heptadecadiene-4,6-diyne-3,10-diol (15), pabulenol (16), byakangelicin ethoxide (17), isobyakangelicol (18), umbelliferone (19), xanthotoxol (20), osthole (21), alloimperatorin (22), 5-(2- acetoxy-3-hydroxy-3-methylbutoxy) psoralen (23), oxypeucedanin hydrate (24), oxypeucedanin ethanolate (25), alloisoimperatorin (26), pabularinone (27), oxyalloimperatorin (28), isooxypeucedanin (29), adenine (30), trans-ferulic acid (31), vanillic acid (32), 2-ethoxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethanol (33), suberosin (34), isopimpinellin (35), xanthotoxin (36), ulopterol (37), 2,4- dihydroxybenzoic acid methylate (38), scoparone (39), swietenol (40), marmesin (41), and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (42), respectively. Conclusion: Except for the compounds 1, 3, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14, 16, 21, 24, and 26, other compounds were isolated from the roots of A. dahurica var. formosana for the first time.
