Abstract: Four compounds were isolated from the roots of Angelica acutiloba kitag. and their structures were identified as bis(5-formylfurfuryl)ether (1), 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (2), stigmasterol (3),heptadecanoic acid (4) by spectroseopic evidences (1H NMR, 13C NMR, HR-MS, etc). All the compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time and compounds 1 was obtained from this genus for the first time. The relative contents of decursin which was the special active constituent of Angelica genus were analyzed by HPLC.

Key words: Angelica; Angelica acutiloba kitag., bis(5-formylfurfuryl)ether, HPLC, decursin
