Four furanocoumarins: bergapten, xanthotoxin, isopimpinellin (linear furanocoumarins) and sphondin (angular furanocoumarin) were isolated for the first time from callus tissues of Pastinaca sativa L.(Apiaceae) cultured in vitro on solid medium. The compounds were identified using spectral methods. They are well-known secondary metabolites of the intact plant. This is the first report on the isolation of sphondin from in vitro plant cultures
