From the methanol extract of the leaves of Desmodium gangeticum collected in Me Linh, Ha Noi, we isolated 5 compounds. In which, there are four glycosides including (6S,9R)- roseoside (1), kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (nicotiflorin) (2), quercetin-3-O-rutinoside (rutin) (3), β-sitosterol-3-O- β-D-glucopyranoside (4), and the other is protocatechuic acid (5). Kaempferol3-O-rutinoside (2) was isolated from Desmodium gangeticum for the first time while (6S,9R)- roseoside (1) was isolated from the genus Desmodium for the first time. Their structures were determined by 1D and 2D NMR spectra. | Some glycosides isolated from desmodium gangeticum (L.)

INTRODUCTION Desmodium gangeticum (L.) DC. (Fabaceae) is a slightly woody perennial herb and widely distributed in South East Asia, India and Africa. In Vietnam and other countries, D. gangeticum has been used for various purposes such as wound ulcers, snake bites, diuretic, edema, asthma, stomatitis, arthritis, eczema, hair loss, neurological disorders, .
