Objective:
To study the chemical constituents of the herb of Striga asiatica.
Methods:
The constituents were isolated by column chromatography and their structrues were elucidated through spectroscopic analysis.
Results:
Eleven compounds were obtained and six flavonoiels were identified as apigenin-7-galacturonide( I ), apigenin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranuronide (II), quercitrin (III), acacetin-7-O-beta-D-glucuronide (IV), apigenin (V), chrysoreiol (VI).
Conclusion:
Compounds I - IV are obtained from this plant for the first time.
