ISOLATION OF FLAVONOLS FROM THE STEMS OF MALAYSIAN Uncaria cordata var. ferruginea (BLUME) RIDSD. (Pemisahan Flavonol dari batang Uncaria cordata var. ferruginea (Blume) Ridsd. Malaysia)

Continuing our interest in the genus, a phytochemical investigation on Uncaria cordata var. ferruginea collected from Hutan Pasir Raja, Malaysia has been carried out. Two flavonols known as quercetin and kaempferol were isolated from the methanolic stem extract of this plant along with other phenolic compounds and terpenes. The two flavonols are reported for the first time from this species. The structure of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data, mostly 1D-NMR, 2D- NMR as well as comparison with literature.
