Coumarins, edulisin I (Ae-I) ( 1) and edulisin II (Ae-VI) ( 6), were isolated from ether extracts of the roots and rhizomes of ANGELICA EDULIS Miyabe (Umbelliferae), together with five known coumarins. The structures of edulisin I ( 1) and edulisin II ( 6) were established to be 2' ( S), 3' ( R)-3'-senesioyloxy- O-trans-p-coumaroyl-2', 3'-dihydrooroselol and 2' ( S), 3' ( R)-senecioyloxy- O- senecioyl-2', 3'-dihydro-oroselol by chemical studies and spectral analysis. Ae-III ( 3) was identified with isopeucenidin and the configuration at C-2' and C-3' of Ae-III ( 3) was assigned as R and R, respectively by chemical studies and an X-ray crystallographic analysis. Accordingly, the optical rotation of isopeucenidin reported by Steck and Wetter has been corrected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
