Antibacterial coumarins from Angelica gigas roots
Abstract
Systematic fractionation of Angelica gigas roots led to the isolation of linear furano(pyrano)coumarins such as bergapten (1), decursinol angelate (2), decursin (3), nodakenetin (4) and nodakenin (5). The antibacterial activities of those compounds against pathogenic bacteria were investigated. Among the compounds tested, decursinol angelate (2) and decursin (3) exhibited significant antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis with the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 50 and 12.5 microg/mL, respectively.
