Abstract
Four compounds, veratrylidenehydrazide, 3,3'-di-O-methylquercetin, dro xy-3(3'-methoxy-4'-hydroxy)-5-methoxyisoflavone and 3',7-di-O-methylqu ercetin were isolated from the methylene chloride extract of dried lea ves of Wedelia biflora. The structures were elucidated from spectrosco pic evidence. The third compound possessed antifungal and boll weevil antifeedant activity while the fourth showed antifungal activity.
