ABSTRACT:

Extraction of stem barks of Murraya paniculata L. (Rutaceae) has afforded 3,5,6,7,3’,4’,5’-heptamethyoxyflavone(1),3,5,6,7,8,3’,4’,5’-octamethoxyflavone(2) and 3,5,7,3’,4’,5’-hexamethoxyflavone(3). Their structures were characterized by spectral studies. The cytotoxicity test ot the compounds against CEM-SS cell line were also investigated.
