Abstract
A novel isoflavone, 5,7-dihydroxy-4′- p-methyl benzyl isoflavone 1a, and three known flavonoids apigenin, luteolin and quercetin have been isolated from the leaves of Acacia tortilis. Their structures were elucidated by chemical and physical data (IR, UV,
1
H-NMR,
13
C-NMR and MS spectra).
