title: Constituents from the non-polar fraction of Artemisia apiacea.
abstract: Five compounds of terpenoids and coumarins were isolated from the non-polar fraction of Artemisia apiacea by open column chromatography. Their structures were elucidated as alpha-amyrin (1), beta-amyrin (2), beta-sitosterol (3), 5,6,7-trimethoxycoumarin (4) and 6-methoxy-7,8-methylenedioxycoumarin (5) by chemical and spectroscopic analysis. This is the first report of the isolation of alpha-amyrin, beta-amyrin, 5,6,7-trimethoxycoumarin and 6-methoxy-7,8-methylenedioxycoumarin from this plant.
