Abstract

The quantitative composition of the combined flavonoids in the epigeal parts of eight representatives of the family Fabaceae (four species ofOnobrychis, two ofAstragalus, and two ofTrifolium) have been studied. For the quantitative estimation of the flavonoids we used a spectrophotometric method permitting the determination of flavonols and isoflavones when they are present simultaneously. A comparatively high content of flavonoids (from 2.37 to 4.13%) was found. The sum of the flavonoid compounds from the species ofOnobrychis, Astragalus, andTrifolium investigated possesses a hypolipidemic activity.
