Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of chloroformic and ethyl acetate extracts of Solanum unguiculatum (A.) Rich. (Family Solanaceae) afforded chrysoeriol 7-methyl ether, quercetin 3-methyl ether, myricetin 3,4'-dimethyl ether, quercetin 3-O-β -gałactoside, kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside and quercetin 3-O-α -rhamnosyl (1-› 2) β-galactoside. Structure of these compounds have been determined on bases of spectral methods; UV, MS and NMR as well as comparison with literature values.
