OBJECTIVE
To investigate the chemical constituents of Peucedanum decursivum commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine.


METHODS
Compounds were separated by solvent extraction and column chromatography with silica gel and structures were elucidated by chemical evidence and spectral analysis.


RESULTS
Seven compounds were identified as imperatorin, deltoin, columbianadin, beta-sitosterol, scopoletin, (+)-trans-decursidinol and daucosterol.


CONCLUSIONS
All the compounds were isolated from the plant for the first time.
