    Abstract

    A new trimethoxychalcone (1) was isolated from the aerial parts of Crotalaria ramosissima. The structure was elucidated on the
    basis of 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS methods.

    Keywords: Crotalaria ramosissima; Trimethoxychalcone; Spectroscopic methods

    1. Plant

    Crotalaria ramosissima (Fabaceae), collected from Regional Engineering College campus, (Warangal, Andhar-
    apradesh, India) in October 2002, was identified by Dr. V.S. Raju and Dr.A.Ragan, Department of Botany, Kakatiya
    University, Warangal, India. A voucher specimen (No. CR-27) has been deposited in the Herbarium of Department of
    Botany, Kakatiya University, Warangal, India.

    2. Uses in traditional medicine

    Crotalaria spp. contains a wide range of medicinal plants used in indigenous Indian medicine [1].

    3. Previously isolated classes of constituents

    Prenylated chalcone [2] and flavanone [3], chalcone [4], dihydrochalcones [5].

    4. New-isolated constituent

    The trimethoxychalcone 1 (Fig. 1) (yield: 0.12% from dried aerial parts).
