title: [Studies on chemical constituents from the herb of Peucedanum decursivum (Miq.) Maxim].
abstract: 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.
