Abstract

Twenty one compounds (twelve flavonoids, four benzoylglucarate isomers, two phenolic acids, two glucosinolates, and one saccharide) were identified from the B. senegalensis aqueous methanolic extract using LC-ESI-MS technique. Among the identified compounds, quercetin-O-sinapoylglucoside-O-glucoside (13) and quercetin-di-O-benzoyl glucoside (16) are newly identified natural products.
B. senegalensis aqueous methanolic extract showed strong inhibitory effect against H5N1 viruses and moderate antitumor activity against three carcinoma cell lines.
