Abstract: The phytochemical investigation of the ethanolic extract of the aerial part of Polygonum macrophyllum D. Don afforded a new anthraquinone glucoside 1-hydroxy-8-methoxy-3-methyl-6-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-anthraquinone (1), along with 1, 6-dihydroxy-8-methoxy-3-methyl-anthraquinone (2), quercitrin (3), kaempferol-3-O-α-rhamnoside (4), arborinol (5), β-sitosterol (6) and β-sitosterol-D-glucoside (7). The compounds were characterized by spectroscopic and chemical analysis and are reported for the first time from Polygonum macrophyllum D. Don.

Key words: Polygonum macrophyllum D. Don, anthraquinone glucoside, flavonoids
