Abstract:

Objective: To explore the chemical constituents of the root of Foeniculum vulgare. Methods: Compounds were separated and purified by silica gel column chromatography and their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis and chemical evidences. Results: Five compounds were obtained from ethyl acetate fraction of the extract root of F. vulgare and were identified as dillapiol (1), butyl isobutyl phthalate (2), β-sitosterol (3), linoleic acid (4), and trilinolein (5). Conclusion: This research provides basic understanding about the medicinal values of F. vulgare root.

Key words: Foeniculum vulgare, root, chemical constituents, isolation and identification
