The n-hexane extracts of aerial and underground parts of three Seseli species, S. gummiferum subsp. corymbosum, S. resinosum, and S. hartvigii growing in Turkey were investigated concerning the presence of coumarins by normal-phase HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography). In this respect, two coumarins, osthol (1) and corymbocoumarin (2) [(-)-(3′S, 4′S)-3′-acetoxy-4′-isovaleryloxy-3′, 4′-dihydroseselin] isolated from aerial parts of S. gummiferum subsp. corymbosum, were used as standard samples. The amount of these compounds were discussed and evaluated in this study. © 2007 The Japanese Society of Pharmacognosy and Springer.
