Title: Chemical Characterization of the Flavonoid Constituents of Cuscuta reflexa
Abstract: The two new compounds were isolated by column chromatography from ethanol extract of the entire plant of Cuscuta reflexa. On the basis of IR, NMR and ES-MS spectroscopic analysis and by chemical transformation, structures of two compounds were elucidated as 3’-methoxy-3,4’,5,7-tetrahydroxy flavone and 3’-methoxy-4’,5,7-trihydroxy flavone-3-glucoside respectively. These isolated compounds were characterized by UV, IR, NMR and mass spectral studies.
