Abstract

A new flavonoid, fistulaflavonoid 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 antitobacco mosaic virus activity. The compound shows modest antitobacco mosaic virus activity with inhibition rates of 18.2 %.
