A New Flavone Glycoside: 5,7,4′-Trihydroxy-6,3′-Dimethoxy Flavone 5-O-α-L-Rhamnopyranoside from the Leaves of Tridax procumbens Linn

Abstract

Tridax procumbens Linn. (N.O. Compositae) is commonly known as Tikki Kasa in Hindi. It is distributed throughout in India up to 2400 m above sea level and in all hot countries. The present paper deals with the isolation and identification of a new flavone glycoside, 5,7,4′-trihydroxy-6,3′-dimethoxy-flavone 5-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside 1, from the leaves of this plant.

Key Words:

• Tridax procumbens
• Compositae
• Flavone glycoside
