The researchers isolated and identified four flavonoid compounds, two of which are newly reported, and provided an anatomical profile for plant authentication.
Micro-morphology of stems and leaves was analyzed using multiple microscopy techniques. The methanolic extract was fractionated, leading to the isolation of four glycosylated flavonoids via chromatography and structural elucidation using NMR and MS. Compounds 2 and 4 are reported for the first time. The study provides anatomical and chemical data for botanical authentication and quality control. The implications are primarily taxonomic and foundational for future metabolic and pharmacological research.
