Abstract

From the air dried powdered leaves of Gynandropsis pentapyhlla (Hurhur), we isolated and identified centaureidin (5,7,3 trihydroxy, 3,6,4 trimethoxy flavone), Kaempferol, Kaempferol-3-O-diglucoside, quercitrin, myricitrin, a- and b- amyrin, taraxasterol and b-sitosterol.
The fatty acids capric, lauric, myrestic, palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic and linileic were detected and estimated.
