Abstract: Phytochemical evaluation of Chenopodium murale Linn. whole plant,revealed the presence of two flavonoids along with two steroidal glycosides, which were identified as 3,7-Dihydroxy-3`-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbutyl)-5,6,4`-trimethoxyflavone (1), 5,7-Dihydroxy-3`-(2-hydroxy-3-methyl-3-butenyl)-3,6,4`-trimethoxyflavone (2), βSitosterol 3-O-βD-glucoside (3),Stigmasterol 3-O-βD-glucoside (4). Although these were known compounds, but isolated for the first time from this plant specie. The characterization of all these compounds was achieved by various spectroscopic methods and the results were compared with the literature.
