Abstract

A new anthraquinone, fistulaquinone A (1), was isolated from the roots of Cassia fistula. Its structure was elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including extensive 1D and 2D NMR techniques. Compound 1 was tested for their anti-tobacco mosaic virus activity. The compound shows modest anti-tobacco mosaic virus activity with inhibition rates of 16.3 %.
