The methanol extract of the dried aerial parts of Prangos tschimganica gave three new coumarin derivatives and 30 known coumarin derivatives. Their structures were established on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence. Absolute configuration of the isolated compounds were determined by using a modified Mosher's method. Some of the isolated compounds showed anti-HIV activity.

The aim of this study was to compare chemical composition, relative feed values, and in vitro true digestibility the giant fennel (Ferula communicus L. -F), helis (Prangos ferulacea -H), gum- tragacanth (Astragalus microcephalus WILD. -G) leaves oak tree (Quercus robur -O), a naturally growing plant on high- altitude plateaus Eastern Anatolia, with those alfalfa.
