Constitutive flavonoids of the flowers of Tamarix tetragyna

A phytochemical investigation of the aqueous ethanolic flower extract of Tamarix tetragyna led to the isolation and characterization of the hitherto unknown conjugates, kaempheride 3,7-dipotassium sulphate and kaempferol 3,4'-dipotassium sulphate as well. Twelve known flavonol compounds, including kaempheride 3-potassium sulphate and kaempheride $3-O-{\beta}-glucuronide$ were also isolated and identified. $^1H-\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$ spectra for the known kaempheride derivatives have been recorded and assigned for the first time. Structures of all compounds were established by conventional methods of analysis and confirmed by $^1H-,\;^{13}C-NMR$ and mass spectral analysis.
