Abstract

Ferulago angulata (Chavil in Persian) is from Umbelliferae family. This article has reviewed the phytochemical, pharmacological and medicinal properties of Ferulago angulata. The information of this review article was gathered from journals and books accessible in databases such as Science Direct, SID, google scholar, Hindawi, PubMed, Scopus and ACS. Chavil possesses phenolic compounds, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids and terpenoids, so it has several activities, for example antioxidant, antidiabetic, hypolipidemic, antimicrobial, larvicidal and anti-amnesic properties. Traditional applications and valuable components of Chavil in treatment could provide the source as a lead compound to develop plant-derived medications.
