Abstract
On the phytochemical investigation of a 70% ethanol extract of the fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica,(Cacataceae), we could result in the isolation of thirteen phenolic compounds including seven flavonoids (1–9) and four simple phenolic glycosides (10–13) by column chromatographic methods. Among the isolated compounds, picein (11), androsin (12), and 1-O-feruloyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (13) were isolated for the first time from O. ficus-indica; additionally, this is the first report benzyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (10) from the genus Opuntia. The structures of the compounds were determined by spectral data analysis which included 1D, 2D NMR spectrum and ESIMS.
