Abstract
Xanthium spinosum Linn is reported to be used against
hydrophobia, rabies and intermittent fever. It has diuretic properties
and is reported to cure diarrhoea and cancer. The ethylacetate-soluble
fraction of the concentrated alcoholic extract of Xanthium
spinosum, bark when worked up chromatographically, yielded a
colourless amorphous powder, m.f. C21H32O9, M+ = 428 and m.p.
157-158°C. Various colour reactions, chemical degradations and
spectroscopic studies identified it as 2-desacetyl-8-epr-xanthumanol-
4-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (I).
