Abstract
Ethyl acetate extract of the stems of Mussaenda erythrophylla ((Rubiaceae) led to the isolation of β-sitosterol, 5 hydroxy-7, 4’-dimethoxy flavones, 3- iso cumaryloxy – cyclopropane-1-oic acid and 4 -hydroxy-3-methoxy cinnamic acid. Their structures were elucidated by IR and NMR spectroscopic method. These compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant
