Moench radix, Echinacea angustifolia DC. radix and Echinacea pallida (Nutt.) Nutt. (Asteraceae) are frequently used as medicinal plants. The aerial parts of Echinacea purpurea are used, as well as the whole plant including the roots from all three species. Constituents of Echinacea angustifolia radix contains not less than 0.5% of echinacoside. Constituents of Echinacea purpurea radix contain not less than 0.5% for the sum of caftaric acid and cichoric acid in the dried drug. Polysaccharides, glycoproteins, caffeic acid derivatives and alkamides have been considered as the constituents that are most relevant for echinacea activity. Alkamides contained in the echinacea dry extract (0.01-0.7%) are mainly isobutylamides of straight-chain fatty-acids with olefinic and/or acetylenic bonds, isomeric dodeca-2E,4E,8Z,10E/Z-tetraenoic isobutylamide. Undeca-2Z,4E-diene-8,10-diynoic acid isobutylamide is also prominent. Isobutylamides contain mainly 2,4-dienoic units.
