These compounds constitute the bulk of its essential oil. The most significant of these are alantolactone and isoalantolactone. Together, these two compounds are often referred to as helenin. They serve as the plant's primary bioactive markers. The roots also contain other related lactones such as dihydroalantolactone, dihydroisoalantolactone, and inunolide. which contribute to its characteristic camphor-like aroma and pharmacological profile. In addition to these terpenes, the plant is a rich source of inulin. Inulin is a polysaccharide that can make up to 10% of the root's dry weight. Other identified constituents include phytosterols like beta-sitosterol and daucosterol. The plant also contains flavonoids (such as quercetin and apigenin). Phenolic acids, and essential oil components like camphor and borneol. These diverse compounds work synergistically.
