Abstract

Azil plant, as a native plant, is endemic of Iran and from Umbelliferae family. Aim of this research is to identify chemical compounds Azil plant by different present methods and introduce the best of them. So, after collecting from Lorestan province, drying in shadow, the oils and extract obtained by hydro distillation (Clevenger), Soxhlet (n-hexane), ultrasonic (two solvents ethanol and acetone), and SDE (Simultaneous Distillation –Extraction by n- hexane). The Extract samples concentrated by rotary evaporator apparatus, and all samples dried by sodium sulphate anhydrous, and injected to GC/MS. In Clevenger method, 27 compounds (98.97%) identified that monoterpens were the main compounds. In soxhlet method 18 compounds (98.68%) identified that seselin (42.08%), α-pinene (13.78%) and vitamin E (7.4%) were the mains. In ultrasonic-acetone solvent method, only three compounds; α-pinene, styryl acetic acid and bisphenol and in ultrasonic-ethanol solvent method, only four compounds; α-pinene, seselin, selinidin and vitamin E identified. And in final by SDE method, only α-pinene (1.66%) identified. There was similarity as compounds in two of first methods, but the remarkable result was seselin- pyro coumarinic compound, which its’ drug properties showed in literature, and in two method Soxhlet and ultrasonic with polar solvent identified. As the result, it can be designed industrial method to extraction of some important chemicals with uses of drugs or insecticides. Authors offered that reproduce ability, isolation and assay after using progress technical, like 1H and 13C-NMR, is done to make this research relation with industry.
