Phenolics from Acalypha indica

Two novel hydrolysable tannins, potassium brevifolincarboxylate and acaindinin, together with eight known tannins—1‐O‐galloyl‐β‐D‐glucose, 1,2,3,6‐tetra‐D‐galloyl‐β‐D‐glucose, corilagin, geraniin, acetonylgeraniin A, euphormisin M2, repandusinic acid A, and chebulagic acid, as well as two flavonoid glycosides — quercetin 3‐O‐β‐D‐glucoside and rutin, were isolated from Acalypha indica. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence.
