Chalepensin is a chemical compound of the furanocoumarin class. Originally isolated in 1967 from fringed rue (Ruta chalepensis),[1] from which it derives its name, it has also been found in other plants of the genus Ruta including common rue (Ruta graveolens)[2] and mountain rue (Ruta montana).[3]
Chalepensin forms colorless crystalline needles with a melting point of 82-83 °C.[4]
