Abstract: The dried roots of Heracleum nepalense D.Don. were extracted with ether, and the extract chromatographed over alumina, afforded four furano-coumarins which were identified as pimpinellin, bergapten, sphodin and isopim-pinellin by mp.IR and NMR spectra. In addition, 6-sitosterol was also separated.
