Abstract:
From the aerial parts of Centaurea horrida Bad. (Asteraceae) 25 compounds (two pentacyclic triterpenes, one sterol glucoside, five quinic acid derivatives, one phenolic acid, and 16 flavonoids) were isolated and characterized. The evolutionary meaning of the isolated flavonoids is discussed.
