One new and three known coumarins were isolated from the $CHCl_3$ soluble fraction of Angelica dahurica stem. On the basis of spectral data, the structures of the isolated compounds were determined to be scopoletin, angelol I, angelol H and 6-[(1S), 2(R)-2, 3-dihydroxy-1-methoxy-3-methylbutyl]-7-methoxycoumarin; the latter being isolated for the first time from a plant source.

Some coumarins were sythesized for the screening of their cytotoxic activities against L1210 cell. Of the conmarins sythesized, 6, 7-dihydroxycoumarin (esculetin) and 7, 8-dihydroxycoumain (dephnetin) as coumarins with dioxygenated A-ring, and 6-acetoxy-5, 7-dimethoxycoumarin and5, 7-dimethoxy-6-hydroxycoumarin as trioxygenated ones, show considerable cytotoxic activities, ED 50 being 4. 3, 8. 8, 17.2 and 5.5 $\mu$g/ml in the same other as the substances. THe extent oxygenation of the A-ring and the positions of the oxygen functions eventually play an important role for the cytotoxic activity.
