Photoanethole is a naturally occurring organic compound that is found in anise and fennel.[1][2] It has estrogenic activity, and along with anethole and dianethole, may be responsible for the estrogenic effects of anise and fennel.[1][3][4][5][6] These compounds bear resemblance to the estrogens stilbene and diethylstilbestrol, which may explain their estrogenic activity.[1][7] In fact, it is said that diethylstilbestrol and related drugs were originally modeled after photoanethole and dianethole.[1][8]
