Abstract

From the n-hexane layer of the MeOH extract of the roots of Polygala tenuifolia, three compounds (2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxy benzophenone, 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid ethyl ester and 1,2,3,6,7- pentamethoxyxanthone) were isolated. 2-Hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxybenzophenone and 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid ethyl ester were first isolated from Polygala genus. Their structures were elucidated employing 2D-NMR, IR, UV, and MS techniques.
