Phytochemical studies of the potent extract revealed the isolation and characterization of seven compounds; two new compounds; 1,1',8,8'-tetrahydroxy -3 ' - acetyl -3-methyl -5,5 ' bianthracene -9, 9 ' ,10,10 ' -tetraone (2) and 1,6,8-trihydroxy–7–methoxy–3- methyl anthraquinone (3), five known compounds, β-sitosterol (1), emodin (4), chrysophanol (5), physicon (6) and β-sitosterol-3-O-β–D-glucoside ( 7 ).
