Abstract

An investigation of the methanolic extract of Maesa lanceolata leaves has led to the isolation of four novel flavonol glycosides characterised as myricetin 3-0-2', 3', 4'-triacetylxylopyranoside (1), quercetin $3-O-{\beta}-3'$, $6'-diacetylglucopyranosyl-(1{\longrightarrow}4)-{\alpha}-2'$, 3'-diacetylrhamnopyranoside (2), myricetin $3-O-xylopyranosyl-(1{\to}3)-{\alpha}-rhamnopyranoside$ (3) and quercetin $3-O-{\beta}-ga1actopyranosyl-(1{\to}4)-{\alpha}-rhamnopyranoside-7-O-{\beta}-galactopyranoside$ (4). Also isolated from the same extract were known flavonols; quercetin (5), myricetin (6), quercetin 3-O-xylopyranoside (7), quercetin $3-O-{\alpha}-rhamnopyranoside$ (8), myricetin $3-O-{\alpha}-rhamnopyranoside$ (9), myricetin $3-O-{\beta}-galactopyranoside$ (10) and quercetin 3-O-rutinoside (11).
