Eight coumarins isolated from the alcohol extract of the Chinese drug "Duhuo", the root of Angelica pubescents Maxim. f. biserrata Shan et Yuan (Umbelliferae) were elucidated to be columbianetin (I), columbianetin acetate (II), columbiadin (III), osthol (IV), isoimperatorin (V), bergapten (VI), xanthotoxin (VII), and columbianetin-.beta.-D-glucopyranoside (VIII), by chemical and spectral analysis. Compound VII was isolated from plant for the first time. All these coumarins were tested on platelet aggregation induced by 2.mu.m ADP.
