An anthraquinone and three naphthopyrone derivatives from Cassia pudibunda.
Chemical examination of the methanolic extract of the roots of Cassia pudibunda led to isolation of the new rubrofusarin-6-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, quinquangulin-6-O-beta- D-apiofuranosyl-(1----6)-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, quinquangulin-6-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside and chrysophanol dimethyl ether. Moreover the known chrysophanol, physcion, cis-3,3',5,5'-tetrahydroxy-4-methoxystilbene, trans-3,3',5,5' -tetrahydroxy-4-methoxystilbene, and cassiaside B were identified. The antimicrobial activity of some of these compounds is also reported.
