Phytochemical study of Sauropus Bacciformis (L.) Airy Shaw

Abstract

From the aerial part of Sauropus bacciformis (L.) Airy Shaw, one new flavonol glycoside, rhamnetin-4'-O-β -D-glucopyranoside and three known triterpenoids, friedelin, simiarenol and glochidonol, together with a mixture of β-sitosterol and stigmasterol have been isolated. Identification of these compounds was accomplished by analysis of their spectroscopic data (UV, IR, MS and NMR) as well as comparison with reported values.
