Filicin is a chemical compound that has been isolated from ferns of the genus Dryopteris. It has been isolated from the male fern (Dryopteris filix-mas).^[1] Filicin has been studied for its anthelmintic activity.^[2]

Related compounds

A variety of chemically related compounds, sometimes referred to collectively as filicins, have also been isolated from ferns. Chemical analysis of filicins in fern extracts can assist in determining taxonomy.^[3] Examples of filicins include:
