Nothoapiole is a phenylpropene, a natural organic compound present in the essential oil of Perilla frutescens from Jeju Island in Korea [1] and the major component of the essential oil obtained from the roots of Pleurospermum angelicoides Benth. [2] It is also found in the essential oil of black caraway ( Carum bulbocastanum ) fruits [3] and Carum nigrum . [4]
This highly oxygenated phenylpropanoid, previously reported in a few Carum species, is structurally and biogenetically related to myristicin, apiole and dillapiole. [5] [6]
