Abstract

Two compounds, nicotiflorin and rutin, are isolated and idenitified from flowers of Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench., of the family Asteraceae, cultivated in Samara oblast. It is established that nicotiflorin (3-O-rutinoside campherol) is the dominant flavonoid of Echinacea purpurea; it is described along with rutin for the first time for this plant, cultivated in the Russian Federation and CIS countries.
