Flavonoids from Tephrosia interrupta and T. linearis.

Abstract

In east Africa, medicinal uses have been reported for the roots of T. interrupta (coughs and treatment of women after childbirth) and the leaves of T. linearis ([unspecified] diseases in infants). Flavonoid analyses are shown for leaves, pods, roots and stems of T. interrupta and roots of T. linearis. Rotenone was present in roots of both species.
