There are many phytochemical studies on Heracleum species that mainly focused on
furanocoumarins (8,9) and
furanocoumarin glycosides, (10,11) together with alkaloids, (12) polyacetylenes, (13) and flavonoids.
In third phase, docking studies were extended to
furanocoumarin derivatives.
Non-volatiles (PMF,
furanocoumarin) make up the remaining amount of the essential oil.
