Phytochemical investigation of Selinum alatum (Apiaceae) roots: First report on the isolation of cumarin derivatives
Husniya Mammadova
Abstract
The Apiaceae family comprises numerous species with notable medicinal relevance due to their bioactive constituents. Selinum alatum (M.Bieb.) Poir., traditionally used in folk medicine, was investigated for its phytochemical profile. Air-dried roots were extracted with acetone, and the resulting crude resin was subjected to column chromatography on neutral alumina, yielding three coumarin derivatives. The isolated compounds were identified as fraxetin (3.2%), scopoletin (2.8%), and scoparone (4.2%) through comprehensive spectroscopic analyses. These findings provide insight into the chemical composition of S. alatum and suggest a potential basis for its traditional therapeutic applications. Further investigations are warranted to explore the biological activities and pharmacological potential of these coumarin constituents.
