Flavonoid Constituents of Selaginella tamariscina

권백의 Flavonoid 성분

From the chloroform and n-butanol extracts of Selaginella tamariscina, three biflavonoids were isolated by chromatographic separation. Structures of these compounds were determined as cryptomerin B, amentoflavone and isocryptomerin by spectroscopic analysis, and amentoflavone was further identified by comparison with the authentic sample. This is the first report of isolation of cryptomerin B from Selaginellaceae.
