The new coumarin 1, yuganin A (7-methoxy-8-((1S,2S)-1,2,3-trihydroxy-3-methylbutyl)-2H-chromen-2-one) along with nine known coumarins, heraclenol 3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), oxypeucedanin hydrate 3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), heraclenol (4), oxypeucedanin hydrate (5), osthole (6), oxypeucedanin (7), heraclenin (8), isoimperatorin (9), imperatorin (10) and the disaccharide sucrose (11), have been isolated from the roots of Prangos pabularia, and the structures of these isolated compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic means, especially, UV, HR-ESIMS, and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the anti-melanogenic effect of yuganin A and its inhibitory effect on B16 cells were evaluated. Yuganin A may be useful in the treatment of hyperpigmentation and as a skin-whitening agent in the cosmetics industry.

Plants of the genus are intensively investigated as potential new sources of bioactive isolated products. In this work, the chemical composition of volatile constituents (essential oils and headspace volatiles) and dichloromethane extracts, as well as antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of essential oils and MFDEs (methanol fractions of dichloromethane extracts) of from Serbia, were investigated. Volatiles of roots, leaves, stems and fruits, and fatty acids and phytosterols in dichloromethane extracts of roots and fruits were analyzed by GC-FID-MS, whereas coumarins in MFDEs by LC-MS and some isolated coumarins by H-NMR.

In this study, the anticholinesterase effects of the extracts and isolated compounds from the roots of endemic Prangos uechtritzii Boiss & Hausskn (Apiaceae) are reported. A novel polyacetylenic compound; (+)-8-O-methyloplopantriol A along with two known polyacetylenes; (-)-panaxynol, (+)-falcarindiol and fifteen known coumarin derivatives; umbelliferone, 6-formylumbelliferone, suberosin, 7-demethylsuberosin, (+)-ulopterol, tamarin, psoralen, imperatorin, (+)-oxypeucedanin, (+)-oxypeucedanin hydrate, (+)-oxypeucedanin methanolate, (+)-marmesin, (-)-prantschimgin, (+)-decursinol, and (-)-adicardin were isolated from the hexane (Pu-HE), chloroform (Pu-CE), and methanol (Pu-ME) extracts of P. uechtritzii roots.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve/maintain an erection. Because of the side effects, interactions, or ineffectiveness of currently used drugs, novel drug discovery studies are ongoing. The roots of Turkish endemic plants Prangos uechtritzii and Prangos heyniae are traditionally used as aphrodisiacs in Anatolia and contain coumarin-like relaxant compounds.

Dichloromethane and butanol extracts of the roots of were analyzed to determine chemical constituents and biological activity. The new coumarin , yuganin B ((5-(((2S,3R,4S,5S,6R)-4,5-dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-2-((2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl)oxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)oxy)-3,4-dihydroxytetrahydrofuran-3-yl)methyl 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate) along with three phenolic and twenty-four known coumarins were isolated from the roots of , and the structures of these isolated compounds were elucidated by UV, HR-ESIMS, and 1 D and 2 D NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the anti-melanogenic effect of several of the isolated individual compounds and their inhibitory effect on B16 cells were evaluated.

Article Synopsis
- Leishmaniasis, caused by the Leishmania protozoa, affects around 12 million people across 98 countries, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, with 1.2 million new cases reported yearly and rising drug resistance complicating treatment.
- Recent research has focused on plant-derived substances as potential anti-leishmanial agents, with this study investigating the effects of extracts from Prangos ferulacea and Ferula orientalis against Leishmania tropica.
- The results indicate that certain extracts from these plants exhibit significant cytotoxic activity against L.tropica, with P. ferulaceae showing the lowest IC50 values and specific extracts also impacting non-target mammalian cells.
