Phytochemical Investigation of the Leaves of Flaveria trinervia

  • Published : 2005.03.01

Abstract

Phytochemical study of the methanolic extract of Flaveria trinervia (Asteraceae) leaves has led to the isolation of three constituents characterised as 3,5,7,4' tetrahydroxy-6-methoxy flavone (6-methoxy kaempferol), oleanolic acid and ${\beta}-sitosterol-{\beta}-D-glucoside$. The identities of the compounds were confirmed by the physical and spectroscopic data and by comparison with authentic samples.
