“…Previous phytochemical studies on species from Malvaceae, specially of the genus Sida have reported the presence of steroids, [5][6][7][8] phenols, 6,7,9 flavonoids, [6][7][8]10,11 triterpenes, 5,9 essential oils, 12 alkaloids, 13 sesquiterpene lactone, 14 fatty acids, 15 and phaeophorbide. 6 Aiming at contributing to the chemotaxonomic study of the family Malvaceae, subfamily Malvoideae, and considering the absence of data in literature concerning the chemical constitution of the genus Sidastrum, the species Sidastrum paniculatum was submitted to a phytochemical study to isolate and identify its chemical constituents, through usual chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, besides comparison with literature data.…”
