Publication date: October 2018Source: Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, Volume 80Author(s): Tiana Sylvia Ralambonirina Rasoarivelo, Raphaël Grougnet, Sylvie Michel, Christiane Rakotobe Guillou, Brigitte DeguinAbstractPhytochemical investigation on the aerial parts and roots of Anthospermum perrieri led to the isolation of two anthraquinones (1-2), one naphthohydroquinone glycoside (3), four flavonoids (4–7), two coumarins (8–9), two phenolic acids (10–11), two iridoids (12–13) and one steroid (14). Flavonoids (4–6), phenolic acids (10–11), steroid (14), asperuloside (12) were identified from aerials parts. Anthraquinones (1–2), naphthohydroquinone (3), coumarins (8–9) asperuloside (12) and asperulosidic acid (13) were identified from roots. These results are the first chemical data on non-volatile constituents of this species. The chemotaxonomic significance of these compounds is summarized.Graphical abstract
