Following compounds are isolated from Aerva javanica: Chrysoeriol, isorhamnetin 3-O-rutinoside, and kaempferol 3-O-robinoside, a series of hydrocarbons ranging from C13-C30 in addition to campesterol, β-sitosterol, and the triterpenoid α- and β-amyrin, as well as fatty alc. fraction ranging from C26-C36 and 14 fatty acids in which pentadecanoic acid represent the major constituent (20.39 %). while the isolated flavonoidal compds. isorhamnetin 3-O-rutinoside and chrysoeriol showed marked activity against G -ve bacteria.
