Received: 9 June 2017; Accepted: 28 June 2017; Published: 1 July 2017 Abstract: The dichloromethane extract of the roots of Prangos hulusii, a recently described endemic species from Turkey, has yielded nine known and one new prenylated coumarins. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and direct comparison with the reference compounds where available. The root extract and its prenylated coumarins exhibit antimicrobial activity against nine standard and six clinically isolated strains at a concentration between 5 and 125 µg/mL. In particular, the new coumarin, 40-senecioiloxyosthol (1), displayed 5 µg/mL MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) value against Bacillus subtilis ATCC 9372, murraol (4) and auraptenol (5) showed 63 µg/mL MIC value against Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 4352 and Bacillus subtilis ATCC 9372, and isoimperatorin (9) exhibited 16 µg/mL MIC value. Keywords: Prangos hulusii; pyrenylated coumarins; antibacterial activity 1. Introduction Prangos is an important genus of Apiaceae family, with 43 species known worldwide [1]. There are 17 species of Prangos in Turkey; nine of them are endemic [2]. Members of this genus have carminative, laxative, stomachic, stimulant, emmenagogue, antienflammatuar, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic properties, and are used for the treatment of burns, hemorrhoids, and wounds [3–6]. Many coumarin, alkaloid, flavonoid, and terpenoid derivatives were isolated from the roots, aerial parts, and fruits of Prangos species [7–10]. Prangos hulusii (S. G. ¸Senol,H. Yıldırım & Ö. Seçmen) is a newly identified endemic species from Flora of Turkey [11]. Preliminary biological activity studies on the extracts of the roots of P. hulusii showed the presence of antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities [12]. The dichloromethane extract of the roots of P. hulusii was subjected to a series of chromatographic separations to yield a new coumarin, 40-senecioiloxyosthol (1), along with nine known coumarins; osthol (3)[13], murraol (4)[14], auraptenol (5)[15], meranzin (6)[16], hydroxyosthol-epoxide (7)[17], meranzin hydrate (8)[16], isoimperatorin (9)[18], oxypeucedanin (10)[18], psoralen (11)[19], and two phytosterols; stigmasterol and β-sitosterol [20]. Structures of the isolated compounds (Figure1) were elucidated using spectroscopic techniques and chemical transformations as well as by direct comparison with the reference standards where available. Antimicrobial activities of the dichloromethane extract of the roots of P. hulusii and prenylated coumarins isolated from this extract were investigated against the standard and clinically isolated 15 bacterial strains.

The antimicrobial activity of extracts and isolated coumarins of Prangos hulusii was evaluated against Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative nine reference standards and six clinically isolated microorganism strains. The results of minimum inhibition concentration (MIC, in μg/mL) values are summarized in Table 2. The best antimicrobial activity was observed against Escherichia coli with the dichlormethane (DCM) extract (i.e., MIC at 156 μg/mL), followed by the petroleum ether (PE) and methanol (MeOH) extracts (i.e., each MIC at 313 μg/mL).
