Publication date: April 2016 Source:Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, Volume 65 Author(s): Maha M. Salem, Sameh R. Hussein, Reham El-Sharawy, Eman A. Ragab, Kamal M. Dawood, Sabry I.M. El Negoumy Boscia angustifolia A. Rich. leaves were collected and subjected to a phytochemical investigation. Ten compounds; six flavonols, two coumarins, one methyl benzoate and one phthalate compound were isolated and identified for the first time from the studied taxa. Tamarixetin-3-O-β-sophoroside-7-O-methylether and rhamnocitrin-3-O-β-sophoroside are reported here as new natural compounds. The chemosystematic relationship between Boscia species is also discussed.
