Chemical Profile and Health-Promoting Activities of (Rosaceae) Flowers.

In the present study, we focused our attention on Ucria (Rosaceae), which is wild growing in western Sicily (Italy). The chemical profile of the flower's (CLF) ethanolic (70%) extract showed the presence of both C-flavonoid and O-flavonoid derivatives. Beyond the main metabolites, like hyperoside and vitexin, there are several luteolin derivates, in addition to catechin and epicatechin dimers or trimers.
