Bioactivity-guided purification of n-BuOH soluble fraction from the ethanol extract of Evolvulus alsinoides resulted in the isolation of two new compounds, 2,3,4-trihydroxy-3-methylbutyl 3-[3-hydroxy-4-(2,3,4-trihydroxy-2-methylbutoxy)-phenyl]-2-propenoate (1) and 1,3-di-O-caffeoyl quinic acid
Phytochemical investigation of the n-butanol fraction of Evolvulus alsinoides (Linn.) led to the isolation of three new phenolic glycosides, evolvosides C, D and E (1-3) along with six known compounds (4-9). The structures of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, viz.
