<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Background</jats:title> <jats:p>The present paper describes the isolation and characterization of two new aliphatic <jats:italic>δ</jats:italic>-lactones along with three glycerides and n-nonadecanyl cetoleate from the fruits of <jats:italic>Coriandrum sativum</jats:italic> L. (Apiaceae). The structures of all the isolated phytoconstituents have been established on the basis of spectral data analysis and chemical reactions. </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>Phytochemical investigation of the methanolic extract of <jats:italic>C. sativum</jats:italic> L. (Apiaceae) fruits resulted in the isolation of two new aliphatic <jats:italic>δ</jats:italic>-lactones characterized as 2α-n-heptatriacont-(Z)-3-en-1,5-olide (<jats:bold>1</jats:bold>) (coriander lactone) and 2α-n-tetracont-(Z,Z)-3,26-dien-18α-ol-1,5-olide (<jats:bold>2</jats:bold>) (hydroxy coriander lactone) together with glyceryl-1,2-dioctadec-9,12-dienoate-3-octadec-9-enoate (<jats:bold>3</jats:bold>); glyceryl-1,2,3-trioctadecanoate (<jats:bold>4</jats:bold>); n-nonadecanyl-n-docos-11-enoate (<jats:bold>5</jats:bold>) and oleiyl glucoside (<jats:bold>6</jats:bold>). </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title> <jats:p>Phytochemical investigation of the methanolic extract of <jats:italic>C. sativum</jats:italic> gave coriander lactone and hydroxy coriander lactone as the new phytoconstituents. </jats:sec>
