Butylphthalide (3-n-butylphthalide or NBP) is one of the chemical constituents in celery oil, along with sedanolide, which is primarily responsible for the aroma and taste of celery.[1]

Studies in animal models suggest that butylphthalide may be useful for the treatment of hypertension[2][3] and may have neuroprotective effects.[4][5][6][7]
