Crystal structure of 5-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3,7,8-trimethoxy-4H-chromen-4-one, C19H18O8

“…The title compound was isolated using medium pressure column chromatography (MPCC) from Parastrephia quadrangularis, a medicinal plant used by the Aymara Amerindians [6,7], a known producer of several flavonoids and benzoic acid derivatives with antioxidant activity [8][9][10][11]. Following our program to isolate interesting metabolites from the Atacama Desert Flora, Northern Chile [12][13][14][15][16][17][18], dried aerial parts of P. quadrangularis (1622 g) collected in april 2015 in "El Tatio", Andean mountain range of the of Atacama Desert, II Region, Northern Chile, were defatted with hexane (3 liters, 3 times in the dark, 24 hours each time) and 54.82 g were obtained after evaporation of the solvent. Then the plant material was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 liters, 3 times in the dark, 24 hours each time.…”
