Furanocoumarins from Heracleum rawianum in Iran

The species Heracleum rawianum that belongs to Apiaceae, is one of the native species in Iran. In the present work, the extraction of aerial parts of this plant with acetone is described by maceration. Furocoumarins such as angelicin (in remarkable amount), allobergapten and sphondin were isolated and identified by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and DEPT-135 spectroscopic data, MS spectrometery and camparison with the literature. To the best of our knowledge, no phytochemical investigations on this species have been reported.
