Dillapiole is an organic chemical compound and essential oil commonly extracted from dill weed, though it can be found in a variety of other plants such as fennel root. [1] This compound is closely related to apiole, having a methoxy group positioned differently on the benzene ring. [2] [3] Dillapiole works synergically with certain insecticides like pyrethrins similarly to piperonyl butoxide, which likely results from inhibition of the MFO enzyme of insects. [4]
No carcinogenicity was detected with parsley apiol or dill apiol in mice. [5]
