Flavanones from aerial parts of Cordia globosa (Jacq.) Kunth, Boraginaceae

The phytochemical analysis of aerial parts of Cordia globosa, collected in the Municipality of Picui, State of Paraiba, Brazil, resulted in the isolation and structural identification of narigenin-4',7-dimethyl ether (0.025 g) and eriodictyol (0.015 g). These compounds are the first flavanones aglycones isolated from the genus Cordia.
