Abstract

The objective of the present study was to isolate and characterize phytoconstituents from the ethanol extract of Polygonum barbatum leaves. Phytochemical investigation of the leaf extract of Polygonum barbatum yields a two flavanone. The structures of these compounds were determined on the basis of spectral and chemical studies. This is the first report of the presence of flavonone in the leaves of Polygonum barbatum.
