From the root of Angelica decursiva-albiflora Yook, which has been used as a folk medicine for a sedative, analgesic and expectorant, four free coumarins, e.g., decursidin(I), decursin(II), umbelliferone(III) and nodakenetin(IV), and two coumarin glycosides, e.g., nodakenin(V) and decuroside I(VI) were isolate. The cytotoxicity of nodakenin(V) against L-1210 leukemia cells was less effective than cisplatin, but in the nephrotoxicity against rabbit kidney proximal tubular cell nodakenin(V) showed remarkably less nephrotoxicant than cisplatin.

Silica gel column chromatography of the ether extract of the root of Angelica decursiva $F_{RANCHET}\;et\;S_{AVATIER}$ form. albiflora $N_{AKAI}$ (Umbelliferae) gave four kinds of crystalline products of pyranocoumarin and furocoumarin: decursidin $(mp\;60{\sim}61^{\circ},\;C_{24}H_{26}O_7)$, decursin$(mp\;110{\sim}111^{\circ},\;C_{19}H_{20}O_5)$, umbelliferone $(mp\;227{\sim}228^{\circ},\;C_{9}H_{6}O_3)$, and nodakenetin $(mp\;187{\sim}189^{\circ},\;C_{14}H_{14}O_4)$. Besides, the methanol extract of the root was found to contain sucrose.
