Quantitative HPLC-UV Study of Lignans in Anthriscus sylvestris.

ABSTRACT: Wild chervil (Anthriscus sylvestris) is a wild-growing plant from the Apiaceae family, used as a food in Europe and eastern Asia. Due to its high content of lignans known to possess anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, antiviral and other activities, it represents a potential functional food. However, quantitative data on lignans are still scarce and limited to deoxypodophyllotoxin, nemerosin and yatein. In this paper, a newly developed and validated reverse-phase HPLC-UV method was used to evaluate the content of 14 lignans in both aerial parts and roots of A. sylvestris. The most abundant root components were found to be deoxypodophyllotoxin (2.0-42.8 mg/g), nemerosin (2.0-23.4 mg/g), yatein (1.1-18.5 mg/g), podophyllotoxone (0.7-20.5 mg/g), guaiadequiol (0.8-8.3 mg/g) and
