In vitro antitubercular activity of extract and constituents from the stem bark of Disthemonanthus benthamianus

ABSTRACT A new C-glycosylflavone, apigenin 7-methyl ether 6-C-[β-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-glucopyranoside] named distemonanthoside was isolated from the stem bark of Distemonanthus benthamianus Baill., Fabaceae, along with six known compounds, sitosterol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, 4-methoxygallic acid, syringic acid, quercetin, 6"-O-acetylvitexin, quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside. The structures of those compounds and others were determined through spectral analyses. Compounds distemonanthoside, sitosterol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, 4-methoxygallic acid and quercetin were tested against a cli...
