Antioxidant activity and two new flavonoids from Washingtonia filifera.

Two new flavonoids, 8-hydroxyisoscoparin (1) and luteolin 7-O-glucoside 4''-sulfate (2), along with eight known flavonoids, including luteolin 7-O-glucoside 2''-sulfate, were isolated and identified from Washingtonia filifera. All compounds were characterized by (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, CI-MS, FABMS and UV. The antioxidant activities of various W. filifera extracts were determined.
