Abstract

Five coumarins and a pyrimidine were isolated from the roots of Angelica gigas. Their structures were elucidated as bergapten (1), decursinol angelate (2), decursin (3), nodakenetin (4), uracil (5) and nodakenin (6) by spectral analysis. Among them, bergapten (1) and uracil (5) were isolated for the first time from this plant part.
