Abstract
Four compounds of a coumarin, a steroid and two flavonoids were isolated from the herba ofArtemisia apiacea by open column chromatography. Their structures were elucidated as artemicapin C, apigenin, daucosterol and cacticin by chemical and spectroscopic analysis. This is the first report of the isolation of these compounds from this plant.
