Abstract

Spinoside, new coumaroyl flavone glycoside was isolated from the n-butanol fraction of the mathanolic extract of the whole plant of Amaranthus spinosus and assigned the structure 7-pcoumaroyl apigenin 4-O-${\beta}$ -D-glucopyranoside (1) on the basis of spectroscopic techniques including 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. In addition ${\alpha}$ - xylofuranosyl uracil (2), ${\beta}$ -D-ribofuranosyl adenine (3) and ${\beta}$ -sitosterol glucoside (4) have also been isolated for the first time from this species.
