Phytochemical analysis of the dichloromethane:methanol (1:1) extract of root parts of Prangos pabularia led to the isolation of twelve cytotoxic constituents, viz., 6-hydroxycoumarin (1), 7-hydroxycoumarin (2), heraclenol-glycoside (3), xanthotoxol (4), heraclenol (5), oxypeucedanin hydrate (6), 8-((3,3-dimethyloxiran-2-yl)methyl)-7-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one (7), oxypeucedanin hydrate monoacetat...

objective(s) as an important class of natural products, coumarins exhibit many biological activities and the diversity of their bioactivity is so huge that the pharmacological promiscuity has been applied on their case. oxypeucedanine also named as prangolarin is a linear furanocoumarin with an oxygenated prenylated substitution at c-5 of the nucleus. to our knowledge, there are few reports on ...

A rapid and sensitive reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method has been used for determination of furanocoumarins in methanolic extracts of Peucedanum tauricum Bieb. HPLC separation was performed on a C18 analytical column (250 mm × 4 mm i.d., 5-μm particles) with a methanol–water gradient as mobile phase. A second chromatographic system with an acetonitrile–water...

Worms are becoming difficult pests to control since many insecticides are now forbidden and the present alternatives are insufficiently effective. Antifeedants of plant origin may have potential against such pests. In this work, several diterpenoids, flavones and coumarins extracted from plants were assayed as antifeedant agents against Spodoptera littoralis larvae. Among these compounds, four ...

Angelica archangelica fruits were collected from 64 locations around Iceland and analysed for furanocoumarins by high-performance liquid chromatography. The average furanocoumarin content was found to be 22.5 mg/g, ranging from 14.0 to 31.6 mg/g. Whereas imperatorin was the main compound in all samples, the order of other compounds was highly diverse. Considerable differences were observed betw...

Abstract A rapid and simple UPLC-MS/MS method was developed to determine toddalolactone in mouse blood applied measure the pharmacokinetics of mice. Blood samples were first preprocessed by ethyl acetate liquid-liquid extraction. Oxypeucedanin hydrate (internal standard, IS) gradient eluted from a UPLC BEH C18 column using mobile phase consisting acetonitrile water (0.1% formic acid). Using ele...
