Main Results:

  • Five compounds were isolated: ombuoside (1), kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside (2), rutin (3), catechin (4), and picein (5), along with beta-sitosterol and beta-sitosterol glucoside.
  • Compounds 1-4 exhibited significant antioxidant activity.
  • The antioxidant potential was confirmed across multiple assays.

Conclusions:

  • Ebenus pinnata aerial parts are a source of potent antioxidant compounds.
  • Ombuoside, kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside, rutin, and catechin demonstrate significant free radical scavenging properties.
  • Further research into these compounds may lead to therapeutic applications.
