Abstract
Two anthraquinones: physion( 6) and emodin( 7) are isolated from the chloroform
extract of Senna occidentalis pod. It also afforded one bianthraquinone: 5,7’- biphysion
and anthraquinone derivative: trihydroxy-methoxy-methylanthraquinone, which are
partially characterized. Several trace anthraquinones were also isolated. The
compounds are identified on the basis of their color reactions and spectroscopic data.
