Chemical Constituents from the flowers of Homalium tomentosum

Abstract

This research investigates chemical compounds of the flowers of Homalium tomentosum by employing chromatographic techniques lead to the separation of twelve compounds. Nine known compounds are found, which are isocourmarin, stigmasterol, Urolithin B, MT10, 6-deoxycochinolide, 2-(-gluco pyranosyl- oxy)-7-{2-[(2-oxo-2-phenyl)ethyl]benzoyl}-5-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, trans-o-coumaric acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and cochinolide--glucopyranoside. Besides, the result also shows three unidentified compounds.
