Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Crotalaria sessiliflora L. led to the isolation of four flavonoids. The structures of these compounds were identified as 2′,4′,5,7-tetrahydroxyisoflavone (1), 2′,4′,7-trihydroxyisoflavone (2), 4′,7-dihydroxyflavone (3), and isovitexin (4) using spectroscopic analysis. Among these, compounds2, and3 have not been reported from.Crotalaria species, whereas compounds1, and4 were reported from this plant for the first time.
