Abstract

Aerial parts of Achillea millefolium. L. (Farn. Asteraceae) were exhaustively extracted with ethanol (90%) and then the
extract was fractionated into coumarin and unsaponifiable fractions. The coumarin fraction led to the isolation of
scopoletin I, umbelliferone II and aesculetin III, whereas b-arnyrin, a mixture of steroidal components were identified
using GLC. Besides, the volatile oils from the leaves and stems of A.millefolium were separately analyzed using GCIMS
chromatographic analysis.
