| Popis: | The methanolic extract of the leaves of Xylosma longifo lium afforded a new flavonodic compound named as Kaempferol-3-β-xylopyranoside-4’-α-rhamnoside along with Kaempferol, Quercetin, Kaempferol-3-rhamnoside, Quercetin-3-rhamnoside. Their structures were established on the basis of chemical and physical evidences (IR, 1 HNMR, and MS data). It was also screened for their antimicrobial activity. Keywords: Xylosma longifolium , flacourtiaceae, flavonoids, antimicrobial activity. INTRODUCTION The genus Xylosma, a large genus of shrubs and trees is chiefly distributed in most of the tropical and subtropical regions. About four species are found in India. 1 It occurs as shady ravines of the western Himalayas from Kashmir to Kumaon and on low hills up on to an altitude of 1,500 meter. The extract of Xylosma longifolium (Commonly know as “Khandhara”) leaves is found to resembles opium in its action and is used with it for house pests and fences. It is used in Assam for intoxication, and also exhibits antispasmodic, dysentery, restlessness and insomnia. |
