Abstract
AbstractTwo lignan glycosides identified as 5,5′-dimethoxylariciresinol-9-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (rupaside) and lyoniresinol-9′-O-β-D-glucopyranoside along with ethyl-α-D-galactopyranoside, α-and β-D-glucose, and β-D-fructose have been isolated from Ruellia patula. Their structures were assigned on the bases of spectral evidence. Preliminary cardiovascular screening of butanol and aqueous fractions suggested possible cardiotonic activity. However, additional studies will be required to confirm this type of activity.
