title: Distribution of iridiod glucosides and anti-oxidant compounds in Spathodea campanulata parts.
abstract: The antioxidant principles isolated from the various parts of the plant are verminoside (leaf, stem bark and flowers; EC(50) = 2.04 µg/ml), Specioside (flowers; EC(50) = 17.44 µg/ml), Kampeferol diglucoside (leaf; EC(50) = 8.87 µg/ml) and Caffeic acid (leaf and fruits). The non anti-oxidant components isolated in the study include ajugol (stem bark and fruits) and phytol (leaf).
