Jacaranda oxyphylla Cham. is popularly known as 'caroba-de-São-Paulo' and it used in traditional medicine for microbial infections. A new phytoquinoid (α/β-glucoside-4-phenylacetate-6-(1-hydroxy-4-oxo-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-acetate) (1) was isolated from J. leaves, together with three compounds: quercetin-3-O-β-d-galactoside (2), verbascoside (3) polystyrene (4). Their chemical structures were elucidated using spectroscopic techniques by comparison the related compounds. In addition, found a...
