Abstract
Secondary metabolite isolation and analysis of Plumbago europaea L. (Plumbaginaceae) is the aim of this work, which is included in a project of our groups on spontaneous and endemic Sardinian species. Plumbago europaea is the only specie of the genera that grows wild in Italy. Metabolites from leaves and roots of this specie were compared. Moreover, at present, literature on the phytochemical characterisation of P. europaea is poor. Plumbagin was isolated in both of the samples analysed, confirming its nature in the Plumbaginaceae family as chemotaxonomic marker of the Plumbaginae tribe. In this work, hydroplumbagin-4-O-glucoside and myricetin-3-O-rhamnoside are isolated for the first time in the genus.File | Size | Format | |
