Abstract

Objective: To investigate the chemical constituents of Peucedanum decursivum commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine.

Method: Compounds were separated by solvent extraction and column chromatography with silica gel and structures were elucidated by chemical evidence and spectral analysis.

Result: Seven compounds were identified as imperatorin, deltoin, columbianadin, beta-sitosterol, scopoletin, (+)-trans-decursidinol and daucosterol.

Conclusion: All the compounds were isolated from the plant for the first time.
