Isolation of two flavonoids from Tanacetum microphyllum as PMA-induced ear edema inhibitors

J Nat Prod. 1997 Feb;60(2):142-4. doi: 10.1021/np960163u.

Abstract

The CH2Cl2 extract of Tanacetum microphyllum exhibited antiinflammatory activity on PMA-mouse ear model. Two antiinflammatory flavonoids, 5,7-dihydroxy-3,6,4'-trimethoxyflavone (santin) (1) and 5,7-dihydroxy-3,4'-dimethoxyflavone (ermanin) (2), were isolated.
