Constituents from the roots of Heracleum rapula Franch

J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2002 Mar;4(1):33-41. doi: 10.1080/10286020290019677.

Abstract

A new coumarin glucoside, 8-hydroxy-5-O-beta-D-glucosylpsoralen, along with 17 known coumarins and one steroid, was isolated from the roots of Heracleum rapula Franch. Four coumarin glucosides, including the new one, were obtained from the water-soluble fraction. The other coumarins isolated from the ethyl acetate-fraction included 10 furanocoumarins, a simple coumarin and three types of bicoumarins. Their structures were elucidated by means of spectroscopic analysis.
