Two new flavonols, 6,4'-dihydroxy-3,5,7-trimethoxyflavone (6-hydroxyka
empferol 3,5,7-trimethyl ether) and 3'-hydroxy-3,5,7,4'-tetramethoxyfl
avone (quercetagetin 3,5,7,4'-tetramethyl ether) were isolated from th
e leaves of Jasonia candicans (Compositae) in addition to luteolin, is
okaempferide, penduletin, jacedin, and methyl ethers of 6-hydroxykaemp
ferol and quercetagetin. The structures of the new flavonols were char
acterized by spectroscopic analysis.
