Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the MeOH extract of the powdered aerial parts of Wedelia prostrata resulted in the isolation and identification of sulfurein; coreopsin; stillopsin; 3,5-dicaffeoyl quinic acid and 3,4-dicaffeoyl quinic acid. The identification of the isolated compounds was established through the different methods of spectral analysis.
