NEW FLAVONOL DIESTERS FROM THE STEM BARK OF FICUS CARICA L.

Phytochemical investigation of the methanolic extract of the stem bark of Ficus carica L. (Moraceae) resulted in the isolation of two new flavonol diesters, characterized as 3,5-dihydroxy-7,4'-dimethoxy-flavonol-3-octadec-9''-en-oxy-5-hexadecanoate and 3,5,3'-trihydroxy-7,4'-dimethoxy flavonol -3-n–octadec-9''-en-oxy-5-hexadecanoate, along with known compound n-pentyl-n-docosanoate, β-amyrin acetate and n-hexadec-9-enoyl-2-n-hexadecanoyl-glyceryl phosphate. The structures of the isolated compounds were established by spectral data analysis.
