TL;DR: Isopimpinellin exhibited the most potent activity at the feeding inhibitory test and was the optical antipode of the previously reported one.
Abstract: Isopimpinellin, bergapten, xanthotoxin, kokusagine, evoxine and japonin were isolated and identified in the leaves of Orixa japonica (Rutaceae) as feeding inhibitors against Spodoptera litura F. (Noctuidae). Isopimpinellin exhibited the most potent activity among above substances at the feeding inhibitory test. The isolated evoxine was the optical antipode of the previously reported one.

TL;DR: In this article, a chloroform extract of the roots of Angelica archangelica L. subsp. arangelica (Apiaceae) was used for the first time for the isolation of 15 coumarins from the root of the root.
Abstract: Fifteen coumarins, 2′-angeloyl-3′-isovaleryl vaginate (4), archangelicin (3), oxypeucedanin hydrate (8), bergapten (5), byakangelicin angelate (15), imperatorin (11), isoimperatorin (6), isopimpinellin (13), 8-[2-(3-methylbutroxy)-3-hydroxy-3-methylbutoxy]psoralen (12), osthol (1), ostruthol (9), oxypeucedanin (7), phellopterin (14), psoralen (2) and xanthotoxin (10), have been isolated from a chloroform extract of the roots of Angelica archangelica L. subsp. archangelica (Apiaceae). 2, 4, 12, and 15 are reported for the first time from A. archangelica L. The isolation was carried out using medium pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC) using the normal phase mode and then subsequently using a combination of the reversed and normal phase techniques. The eluents were optimized by thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography preassays according to the “PRISMA” system, and then transferred without modification of the solvent selectivity to preparative MPLC separations. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic methods. The isolation was carried out from a chloroform extract which in earlier tests had exhibited calcium blocking activity on the uptake of 45Ca2+ in clonal rat pituitary GH4C1 cells. The calcium antagonistic activity of the isolated compounds was then tested using the same method as for the extracts. All the coumarins tested exhibited calcium antagonistic activity. Archangelicin showed activity significantly higher than that of verapamil in this test system.

TL;DR: Isopimpinellin and osthol (3) and coumarin derivatives isolated from CM-ext, showed an inhibitory effect on compound 48/80-induced scratching behavior.
Abstract: Antipruritic effects of 70% ethanol extract (CM-ext) of Cnidii Monnieri Fructus (dried fruits of Cnidium monnieri CUSSON, Umberifferae) were investigated. In mice, an oral administration of CM-ext (200 and 500 mg/kg) inhibited compound 48/80-induced scratching behavior without influence on spontaneous locomotion. Isopimpinellin (3) and osthol (1), coumarin derivatives isolated from CM-ext, showed an inhibitory effect on compound 48/80-induced scratching behavior.

TL;DR: Oxypeucedanin, not previously reported from parsley, was found to be the major component (70-100 ppm wet weight), although only moderately photoactive, its high concentration in parsley may be partially responsible for contact photodermatitis.
Abstract: Fresh parsley leaves and roots were analyzed by HPLC and photobiological assay for photoactive furocoumarins. Oxypeucedanin ( 7), not previously reported from parsley, was found to be the major component (70-100 ppm wet weight). Although only moderately photoactive, its high concentration in parsley may be partially responsible for contact photodermatitis. Other photoactive compounds, namely 5-MOP ( 2), 8-MOP ( 3), psoralen ( 1), isopimpinellin ( 4) and imperatorin ( 5) were also present and quantified.
