Abstract

Four flavonoids (two flavonol glycosides and two flavones) were isolated from ethyl acetate extract of Mentha arvensis leaves. The structures were determined by usual spectroscopic methods   (UV and ¹H  NMR). This study confirmed that  Mentha arvnsis can be a good source of antioxidant polyphenols. In recent study kaempferol and apigenin and their derivatives, have been found to possess preventive and therapeutic potential against several kinds of cancer.
