Zanthoxylum senegalense DC.

Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides, the Senegal prickly-ash or artar root,[1] is a plant species in the genus Zanthoxylum.

The plant contains isomeric divanilloylquinic acids (3,4-O-divanilloylquinic acid or burkinabin A, 3,5-O-divanilloylquinic acid or burkinabin B and 4,5-O-divanilloylquinic acid or burkinabin C).[2] Burkinabin C, a type of hydrolysable tannin can be found in the root bark of F. zanthoxyloides.[3] It also contains fagaronine, a benzophenanthridine alkaloid.[4]
