A New Flavone Glycoside: 5,7,4′-Trihydroxy-6,3′-Dimethoxy Flavone 5-O-α-L-Rhamnopyranoside from the Leaves ofTridax procumbensLinn

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-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside 1, from the leaves of this plant.
