Crocatone and coumarins from the roots of torilis arvensis

ABSTRACT

From the roots of Torilis arvensis [Huds.] Link, crocatone, bergapten, xanthotoxin, scopoletin and umbelliferone were isolated and their structures were established through spectroscopic analyses. The present isolation of crocatone represents the first report of this isomyristicin derivative in the Scandiceae and the Caucalideae
