Ammi visnaga is a plant of the Umbelliferae family, which has been known and
used for its therapeutic properties by the peoples of the Mediterranean basin
since time immemorial.
Visnadine may be extracted from the umbels of Ammi visnaga by an organic
solvent having a boiling point less than 110°C. The resulting solution is
concentrated first by heating in a water bath and then is allowed to stand
some time at a temperature of about 20°C and if necessary is treated for
separation of gummy constituents therefrom, after which the solution is
concentrated under reduced pressure. Finally, the crude product is crystallized
and separated by retaining it on a filter.
This crude product may then, according to the process, be purified by mixing
it with petroleum ether and allowing it to stand at ordinary temperature, then
filtering it to obtain the pure visnadine.
