Two new flavones from Eupatorium coelestinum

Besides coumarin, nobiletin, lucidin dimethyl ether and 5,6,7,3′,4′-pentamethoxyflavone, two new highly oxygenated flavones were isolated from Eupatorium coelestinum. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods and alkaline degradations as 5,6,7,8,3′,4′,5′ -heptamethoxyflavone and 5,6,7,8,5′-pentamethoxy-3′,4′-methylenedioxyflavone.
