Chemical constituents from the n-Butanol extract of Senecio scandens Buch. - Ham and their chemotaxonomic significance

The phytochemical investigation of Senecio scandens Buch. - Ham extracted from n-BuOH resulted in the isolation and identification of eight known compounds—two phenolic acids ( 1 – 2 ) and six flavonoid compounds ( 3 – 8 ). The structures of these compounds were elucidated using spectroscopic methods, and their nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were compared with previously reported data in the literature. This study reports, for the first time, the isolation of compounds 2 and 7 from the Asteraceae family, compound 1 from the genus Senecio , and compounds 5 and 8 from the species S . scandens Buch. - Ham. Furthermore, the chemotaxonomic significance of the compounds isolated from S . scandens Buch. -Ham was examined in detail. • Totally 8 compounds were isolated from Senecio scandens Buch. - Ham. • 1 compound was first time report from genus Senecio. • 2 compounds were first time report from family Asteraceae.
