Abstract

Jaceidin, Jaceidin-7-O-methylether and quercetin were isolated from-Juniperus phoenicea L. alcoholic extract, however, Sequoiaflavone was isolated from Cupressus semperiverns L. In addition, the alcoholic extracts of both plants were found to contain also kaempferol-3-O-rhamnoside, quercetrin, myricitrin, cupressuflavone. The chemical identities of the isolated compounds were established using UV, IR, $^1H-and\;^{13}C-NMR$ spectroscopy.
