OBJECTIVE: To investigate the chemical constituents of Peucedanum decursivum commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. METHOD: Compounds were separated by solvent extraction and column chromatography with silica gel and structures were elucidated by chemical evidence and spectral analysis. RESULT: Seven compounds were identified as imperatorin, deltoin, columbianadin, beta-sitosterol, scopoletin, (+)-trans-decursidinol and daucosterol. CONCLUSION: All the compounds were isolated from the plant for the first time.
