Marigold is one of the most important commercial flower crops grown all over the world and in India as well; accounting for more than half of Nation"s loose flower production. It is native of central and South America especially Mexico and belongs to the family Asteraceae (Compositae). There are 33 species of genus tagetes in which few are important viz., Tagetes erecta, T. patula ,T. tenuifolia, T. luicida (sweet scented marigold), T. sarmetosa (climbing marigold), T. lacera, T. lemmmoni, T. minuta, T. filifolia (Irish lace). There are two species, which are commercially grown viz. Tagetes erecta L.

A new phenolic glucoside, (rel)-2-(4',6'-dibenzoyl-β-glucopyranosyloxy)-7-(1α-hydroxy-2α-ethoxy-6α-acetyloxy-3oxocyclohex-4-enoyl)-benzyl alcohol (Flacourticin) (1) and the known, 2-(4',6'-dibenzoyl-β-glucopyranosyl)-5-hydroxy benzyl alcohol (4'-benzoylpoliothrysoside) (2) together with the new, (2E)-heptyl-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) acrylate (3), (+)-catechin (4) and sitosterol-β-D-glucoside were isolated from Flacourtia indica. Their structures were assigned on the basis of 1D, 2D-NMR and as well by analysis of the LC-ESIMS data. The isolated compounds (1-4) were evaluated for α,αdiphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, and 3 was found to be twofold less potent, with an IC 50 =12.01 μg/mL, compared to the positive control, Rutin, (IC 50 = 5.83 μg/mL).
