A corrigendum on
Bioassay-Guided Isolation of Sesquiterpene Coumarins from Ferula narthex Bioss: A New Anticancer Agent

by Alam, M., Khan, A., Wadood, A., Khan, A., Bashir, S., Aman, A., et al. (2016). Front Pharmacol. 7:26. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2016.00026

Due to an oversight, there was an error in Section “Results and Discussion,” Sub-section “Identification of Compounds,” in paragraph one. It should read: “Compound 1 was isolated as a white amorphous solid from the chloroform-soluble part of the crude extract of F. Narthex Boiss. Its molecular formula C24H30O4 was deduced with the help of 13C NMR as well as HRESI-MS. Compound 1 (Figure 1) was found to be a sesquiterpene coumarin.

Compound 2 (Figure 1) was also found to be a sesquiterpene coumarin based on characteristic peaks in the 1H and 13C NMR spectra. The detail spectroscopic data of compound 1 and compound 2 were already reported in our previous article (Bashir et al., 2014).

The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused and this change does not affect the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.

Conflict of Interest Statement

The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
