Abstract
From the EtOAc fraction of the MeOH extract ofAlbizzia julibrissin (Leguminosae), a rare 5-deoxyflavone (geraldone,1), isookanin (2), luteolin (3), an isoflavone (daidzein,4), five preny-lated flavonoids [sophbflavescenol (5), kurarinone (6), kurarinol (7), kuraridin (8) and kuraridinol (9)], a cerebroside (soya-cerebroside I,10), and (-)-syringaresinol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (11) were isolated and characterized on the basis of spectral data. Compounds2, 3, and11, showed 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity.
