Three new flavonoid glycosides from the herbaceous stems of .

Phytochemical investigation of the -butanol extracts of the herbaceous stems of led to the isolation of eight flavonoids that included three new flavonoid glycosides (-) and five previously reported analogues (-). Their structures have been identified on the basis of various spectral data. Besides, all the flavonoids were tested for their ability to inhibit -glucosidase under the positive control of acarbose, and the results indicated that none of them exhibited significant inhibitory effect on -glucosidase at 100 μM.
