Abstract

Seeds and/or roots of eleven species of Leguminosae, mainly Tephrosiae, were examined. Prenylated chalcones and flavanones were isolated from Lonchocarpus nitidus and L. neuroscapha seeds; rotenoids from Lonchocarpus spruceanus, Piscidia mollis and a Tephrosia sp.; demethylhomopterocarpin from Canavalia bonariensis (Phaseoleae). No flavonoids or rotenoids were found in L. nelsii, L. rugosus, T. multijuga (seeds), Millettia grandis (Tephrosieae) and in Xeroderris stuhlmanii (Dalbergieae).
