Abstract

Abstract: In this work, the first phytochemical analysis on the seeds of Nigella sativa L. collected from a new population in Iran is reported. The study was carried out by means of classical column chromatography and spectroscopic techniques and evidenced the presence of twenty-six compound divided into six different classes of natural compounds. In particular, compounds (3–4 ) have been reported in the family for the first time. In addition to this, the first NMR semi-quantitative analysis on their most polar metabolites content was reported. The chemotaxonomic and pharmacological aspects of all the identified compounds were discussed.
