A New Flavonol Tetraglycoside from Myrsine Africana Leaves

Abstract

A new flavonol glycoside, quercetin 3 - glucosyl (1′″ - 4″) rhamnoside - 7 -rhamnosyl (1′″ - 6″″) glucoside (1) together with known flavonol glycosides, quercetin 3 -rhamnoside (2), quercetin 3 - glucoside (3) and myricetin 3 - galactoside (4) have been isolated from methanolic extract of Myrsine africana leaves and identified on the basis of their spectral data.
