Dichloromethane and butanol extracts of the roots of Prangos pabularia were analyzed to determine chemical constituents and biological activity. The new coumarin 1, yuganin B ((5-(((2S,3R,4S,5S,6R)-4,5-dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-2-((2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl)oxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)oxy)-3,4-dihydroxytetrahydrofuran-3-yl)methyl 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate) along with three phenolic and twenty-four known coumarins were isolated from the roots of Prangos pabularia, and the structures of these isolated compounds were elucidated by UV, HR-ESIMS, and 1 D and 2 D NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the anti-melanogenic effect of several of the isolated individual compounds and their inhibitory effect on B16 cells were evaluated. Isolating and testing compounds may proof to be useful in the treatment of hyperpigmentation and as a skin-whitening agent in the cosmetics industry.
