Abstract:Objective:To study the flavonoids in fenugreek (Trigonella foenumgraecum) produced in China.Method:The flavonoids were isolated with silica gel,polyamide and Sephadex LH 20 chromatography,and their structures were identified by physical,chemical properties and spectral analysis.Result:Five flavonoid compounds were isolated from fenugreek seeds and identified as vitexin,tricin,naringenin,quercetin and tricin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside.Conclusion:Three flavonoids,tricin,naringenin and tricin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside,were isolated from fenugreek as well as from the plants of Trigonella for the first time.
