Biological activities of decursin and decursinol, natural coumarin derivatives, on the germination, growth and adventitious root formation of several plants were observed. In 10 ppm of decursin or decursinol, the growth of Avena coleoptile sections was inhibited, and the activity of IAA-oxidase was gradually enhanced by the increase of its concentrations. Inhibition effect on seed germination was observed from 100 ppm of each chemcials, and the activity of amylase in the germinating seeds was also gradually decreased. However, in the higher concentrations of decursin, the inhibited germination rate of wheat was slightly reduced. Decursin and decursinol also promoted the adventitious root formation in seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris.

The naturally occurring coumarins are likely to be a large and important group of plant products which are not only metabolic products of the living cells but possess varied physiological and pharmacological actions. Investigations concerning various biological activities of natural coumarins have been undertaken by many investigators in continuing effort. The authors describe on experimental results of biological activities of coumarin derivatives with particular emphasis on 10 different activities that are considered to be of importance in view of the development of new drugs from natural resources.

A cytotoxic coumarin against L1210 cell was isolated from the unripe fruit of Poncirus trifoliata ($ED_{5}$) = 10.2 $\mu$ g/ml. Its structure was identified as aurapten, 7-geranyloxycoumarin. Hydrolysis of the substance gave umbelliferone and geraniol. Only geraniol showed the cytotoxic activity ($ED_{53}$ = 6.5 $\mu$g/ml) while umbelliferone and its methyl or allyl derivatives were not active.

물푸레나무와 느릅나무의 수피를 아세톤-물의 혼합용액으로 추출하고 hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate 및 물 분획으로 분류하여 동결건조하고 분말상으로 조제하였다. 각 분획의 분말상 추출물을 메탄올-물 및 에탄올-헥산의 혼합액을 사용하여 Sephadex LH-20 칼럼으로 크로마토그래피를 수행하였다. 물푸레나무의 수피는 소량의 ligstroside와 oleuropein 및 aesculin이나 aesculitin과 같은 다량의 쿠마린 유도체를 포함하고 있었으며 느릅나무 수피 추출물의 대부분은 (+)-catechin과 (+)-catechin-7-O-xylopyranose (+)-catechin-7-O-apiofuranose와 같은 (+)-catechin의 배당체 화합물 및 (+)-catechin의 이량체인 소량의 procyanidin B-3 화합물이었으며 단리된 페놀성 화합물의 구조를 구명하기 위하여 NMR과 FAB-MS 분석을 수행하였다.

국내에 자생하는 몰푸레, 쇠몰푸레 그리고 들메나무의 수피를 채취하여 아세톤-물(7:3, v/v)로 추출한 후 동결건조시켜서 분말로 제조하였고 Sephadex LH-20 및 TSK 40F로 충진한 칼럼 상에서 메탄올, 에탄올 그리고 에탄올-헥산 혼합액을 용이용매로 상요하여 칼럼크로마토그래키를 실시하였다. 단리된 화합물들은 TLC로 확인한 후 NMR스펙트럼을 상용하여 정확한 구조규명을 하였고 FAB-MS로써 분자량을 측정하였다. 쿠마린 유도체들이 다량으로 포함되어 있었으며 소량의 ester형태의 화합물들도 단리 되었다. 물푸레와 쇠물푸레에서는 aesculetin, aesculin 및 fraxetin과 같은 쿠마린 화합물들과 ligstroside와 oleuropein과 같은 ester형태의 화합무들이 모두 단리 되었으며 들메나무에서는 ester형태의 화합물만 단리 되었다.

Activity-guided separation of the methylene chloride-soluble fraction of the leaves of Zanthoxylum schinifolium, resulted in the isolation of four coumarinoids (1 - 4), two triterpenoids (5, 6) and three fatty acid derivatives (7 - 9) as active principles. Their chemical structures were identified as collinin (1), 8-methoxyanisocoumarin (2), 7-(6'R-hydroxy-3',7'-dimethylocta-2',7'-dienyloxy)-coumarin (3), (E)-4-methly-6-(coumarin-7'-yloxy) hex-4-enal (4), lupeol (5), epi-lupeol (6), phytol (7), hexadec-3-enoic acid (8) and palmitic acid (9), on the basis of spectroscopic (1D, 2D and MS) data analyses and comparing with the data published in the literatures. Compounds 1 and 7 showed potent cytotoxicity against Jurkat T cells with $IC_{50}$ values of 45.58 and $47.51{\mu}M$, respectively. The others showed moderate activity with $IC_{50}$ values ranging around 80.58 to $85.83{\mu}M$, while the positive control, auraptene, possessed an $IC_{50}$ value of $55.36{\mu}M$.

The internal structures of "Chunho", "Kangwhal" and "Dangui" and their original plants had been compared with each other in the prior report. Coumarin derivatives, khellactone from the roots of Angelica purpuraefolia $C_{HUNG}$ and decursin and decursinol from A. gigas $N_{AKAI}$ were also isolated. In this report, we made a simple and convenient identification method for the powdered drugs of several Angelica genus by using a thin layer chromatogrophic technique. The ehter extract of the powdered drugs were applied to a silica gel plate, and was developed with n-hexane and ethyl acetate (1:1) mixture. The characteristic U.V. absorption patterns of each drug were shown.

Coumarins are ubiquitous in plant kingdom and have been used as antitumor, antifungals, anticoagulants, insecticides. Chalcones are also widespread in plant kingdom and have been known to possess diverse biological activities; antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor and anti-inflammatory, etc. As they are considered as important natural products, numerous synthetic approaches have been reported up to the present. We devise a new selective method of preparing dihydrocoumarins and chalcones from aryl cinnamates by the selection of reagents. Dihydrocoumarin derivatives were prepared selectively by using intramolecular cyclization catalyzed by p-toluene sulfonic acid. Also, chalcones were prepared by Fries-rearrangement catalyzed by $TiCl_4$. This method can be used for preparing various coumarin & chalcone compounds.

The bark of Fraxinus rhynchophylla, one of ash trees grown in domestic, was collected, extracted with acetone-$H_2O$(7:3, v/v) and freeze dried to give 50g of ethylacetate soluble powder. A portion of the freeze dried powder was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 and a TSK 40F column using a series of aqueous methanol and ethanol-hexane mixture as eluents. The extractives contained a large amount of coumarin derivatives in addition to a small amount of ester compounds such as ligstroside and oleuropein which have not been isolated from this tree species yet. Some spectrometric analyses such as NMR and FAB-MS including TLC were performed to identify the structures of the isolated ester compounds.

Angelica decursiva Fr. et Sav. (Umbelliferae) has traditionally been used to treat different diseases due to its antitussive, analgesic, and antipyretic activities. It is also a remedy for thick phlegm, asthma, and upper respiratory infections. Recently, the leaf of A. decursiva has been consumed as salad without showing any toxicity. This plant is a rich in different types of coumarin derivatives, including dihydroxanthyletin, psoralen, dihydropsoralen, hydroxycoumarin, and dihydropyran. Its crude extracts and pure constituents possess anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-Alzheimer disease, anti-hypertension, anti-cancer, antioxidant, anthelmintic, preventing cerebral stroke, and neuroprotective activities. This valuable herb needs to be further studied and developed not only to treat these human diseases, but also to improve human health. This review provides an overview of current knowledge of A. decursiva metabolites and their biological activities to prioritize future studies.
