Cuscuta chinensis, a parasitic vine, was used in several traditional medicine systems, and it demonstrated a wider range of pharmacological activities in various diseases. The chemical components from C. chinensis consist mainly of flavonoids, steroids, volatile constituents, lignans, alkaloids, and polysaccharides. In view of its wider pharmacological properties, the authors have attempted to re-investigate the whole plant for its phytoconstituents and reported flavones salvigenin, chrisimaritin for the first time apart from the earlier reported quercetin and triterpenoid betulinic acid.
