Hence, the term encompasses a broad term of diseases that can affect female fertility such as pelvic inflammatory diseases and endometriosis. Hydrilla verticillata (Linn. F.) considered as an invasive species in Iraq. Our study aimed to identified the concentration of lipid compounds in that plant whicht collected from Euphrates River/Kufa-Iraq. Twenty-three compounds were identified. The most prevailing compounds were Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (26.26%), 9, 12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z, Z)-, methyl ester (19.07%) and phytol (11.83%) as major components, and their structures were elucidated. In present study, we concluded that this species (H. verticillata) is a good source of many fatty acids especially octadecadienoic acid and phytol, and we suggested to create new studies deals with using this plant in pharmaceutical products.
