Abstract
The Ethylacetate extract of Acacia saligna Labill leaves
(Mimosaceae) showed radical scavenging activity in the 1,1-diphenyl
-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) decoloration assay. Bioassay-guided
isolation led to five known flavonoid compounds including Apigenin
(A), Luteolin (B), (+) Catechin (C), Quercetrin (D) and Myricetrin
(E). The characterization of these compounds was achieved by
various chromatographic and spectroscopic methods.
