Abstract
Substances $I{\sim}VII$ are isolated from the root of Glehnia littoralis which has been often used as a subsitute of Bang-Poong in Korea. White needle crystalline substance of $C_{29}H_{50}O$, m.p. $137{\sim}139^{\circ}C$ was confirmed as ${\beta}-sitosterol$ through elemental analysis, derivative synthesis, IR and physicochemical tests. Moreover, it was concluded that white needle crystal of $C_{12}H_{8}O_{4}$, m.p. $188{\sim}189^{\circ}$ was confirmed as bergapten, through a contrast test with standard substance and by UV and IR-spectra. It was found that substance III and VII coincided with the Rf values of imperatorin and umbelliferone and to its colors under the UV-ray, and its similarity to UV-spectrum can be recognized, but their melting points are remarkedly different respectively.
