The detailed investigation of a methanolic extract of aerial parts of Achillea nobilis resulted in the isolation of 10 flavonoids. A new C-glycosylflavone, luteolin-6-C-apiofuranosyl-(1'''-->2'')-glucoside, was isolated besides orientin, isoorientin, vitexin, isoschaftoside, luteolin-7-O-beta-glucuronide, luteolin-4'-O-beta-glucoside and quercetin-3-O-methyl ether and two rare flavonolglycoside...

Nine flavonoid compounds: kaempferol 3-0-beta-(6"-p-coumaroyl)-glucopyranoside, myricetin 3-O-beta-glucopyranoside, quercetin 3-0-beta-glucopyranoside, quercetin 3-0-alpha-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->6)-beta-glucopyranoside, kaempferol 3-0-beta-glucopyranoside, kaempferol 3-0-alpha-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->6)-beta-glucopyranoside, quercetin 7-0-beta-glucoside, quercetin 7-0-beta-diglucoside, kaempferol 7-...

The flavonoids present in beeswax produced in “La Alcarria” region were analyzed by HPLC. Pinocembrin, pinobanksin, pinobanksin 3-acetate, chrysin, galangin and techtochrysin were detected as the main flavonoid constituents. This is the first detailed report on the flavonoids o f beeswax. These substances are already present when wax scales are secreted by bees. The same flavonoid compounds wer...
