FLAVONOIDS OF ARTEMISIA SPICIGERA

23 wild Artemisia species grow in Turkey (1,2) and some of them have not yet been investigated chemically. This report is one of the series on the chemical investigations of the Turkish Artemisia species (3-8). Seven flavonoids (hispidulin, apigenin, luteolin, quercetin, apigenin 7- glucoside, patuletin 3-glucoside and mtin) have been isolated from the aerial parts of A.spicigera. Many species of the large genus A/-temisia (Compositae, tribe Anthemideae) have been used for many centuries in folk medicine. The volatile sub-stances of A.spicigera are used like A.austriaca in folk medicine in Eastern part of Turkey as an antiseptic (8), whereas the essential oil of it shows an antimicrobial effect (9). The vapor is prepared by boiling the plant and is used for vaginal purposes by women in Anatolia.
