Abstract:
From the needles of Taxus baccata the following flavonoids were isolated: 3-O-rutinosides quercetin, myricetin and kaempferol, 7-O-glucosides kaempferol and quercetin, kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin. The composition of flavonols and biflavones in some of the species of the genus Taxus, namely T. celebica, T. cuspidata, T. media and cultivar varieties T. baccata 'Aurea', T. baccata 'Aurea decora', T. baccata 'Elegantissima', T. baccata 'Fastigiata', T. baccata 'Pyramidalis', T. media 'Hatfieldii' were compared by HPLC separation.
