Phytochemical investigation of Pimpinella serbica

The plant species Pimpinella serbica (Vis.) Drude, endemic to West Balkans, belongs the genus L. (Apiaceae) according newer botanical classification. Initially, was described as Pancicia Vis. and long considered a monotypic genus. Previous phytochemical investigations of this were limited essential oil analysis by GC?MS method. This is first study that includes LC-DAD?MS screening extracts roots aerial parts, followed isolation secondary metabolites using chromatographic techniques. Five compounds belonging phenylpropanoids polyacetylenes, well known for their bioactivities, isolated structurally determined combined spectroscopic methods (UV, NMR, MS). Dillapiole (1), nothoapiole (2) oplopantriol A 18-acetate (4) found in both extracts, while falcarindiol (3) from dendrotrifidol (5) parts only. profile P. supports its position
