1,8-dihydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy xanthone from Cythula tomesntosa
Abstract
Cyathula tomentosa (Kurru) belongs to family Amaranthaceae, is a perennial under shrub occurs throughout Garhwal Himalayas up to 600-2000 meter altitude. Cyathula tomentosa have been used in snake bite and has emetic properties [1] From Cyathula capitate and Cyathula officinales isolated ecdyson content is 0.046% and 0.057% respectively [2] and Cyathula prostrata show antifungal free redical scavenging activities 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl [DPPH] radical [3]. The chemical examinants at the basis of [4] has been revieweds We found no chemical analysis from literature survey on Cythula tomentosa. From the ethanolic extract of Cyathula tomentosa a new flavanone compound is isolated. The structure of compound has been through mass, 1H, 13C. NMR and 2 D-NMR spectra.
