Abstract:

Thirteen flavonoid compounds were isolated from the aerial parts of Blumea balsamifera. Their structures were identified as 5,7-dihydroxy-3,3′,4′-trimethoxy flavone (1), 3,5,3′,4′-tetrahydroxy-7-methoxyflavone (2), davidigenin (3), catechin (4), ayanin (5), davidioside (6), dihydroquercetin-7,4′-dimethylether (7), blumeatin (8), dihydroquercetin-4′-methylether(9), 3,5,3′-trihydroxy-7,4′-dimethoxyflavone (10), 5,7,3′,5′-tetrahydroxyflavanone (11), luteolin (12), and quercetin (13). Among them, compounds 1 and 3-6 were isolated from this plant for the first time.
