Abstract

From the NaOH-soluble fraction of the C6H6 extract of Eupatorium odoratum growing in Nigeria, four known methoxylated flavonols and flavanones were isolated and identified as isosakuranetin, kaempferide, sakuranetin and tamarixetin. A discussion of the flavonoid pattern in the hitherto studied Eupatorium species is also presented.
