Abstract

Five kinds of furo- and pyrano-coumarins isolated from Chinese Drug “Qian-Hu”, the root of Peucedanum decursivum Maxim. (= Angelica decursiva Fr. et Sav.) and P. praeruptorum Dunn., and two kinds of furocoumarins isolated from Angelica edulis Miyabe were tested on their effects on human platelet aggregation induced by 2 µM ADP.

Nodakenin (1) and nodakenetin (2) were found to show the most inhibitory activity against both primary and secondary wave of aggregation induced by 2 µM ADP. Ae-II (= vaginidin) (3) and Ae-III (= isopeucenidin) (4) showed inhibition against only secondary wave aggregation. Pd-C-V (6) and Pd-Ia (7) were rather promotive in the primary wave aggregation. Pd-C-II (5) and dicoumarol (8) showed no activity.

Coumarin (9) and umbelliferone (10), a biosynthetic intermediate of Qian-Hu coumarins, showed also strong activity on primary and secondary platelet aggregation.
