From the aerial parts of Herissantia tiubae (K. Schum.) Brizicky two flavonol glycosides were isolated by means of chromatographic methods, kaempferol 3,7-di-O-<FONT FACE=Symbol>a</font>-L-rhamnopyranoside and kaempferol 3-O-<FONT FACE=Symbol>b</font>-D-(6’’-E-p-coumaroyl) glucoside. Their structural identification was made by IV, ¹H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, including two dimensional techniques, together with comparison with literatura data. Preliminary tests were carried out with kaempferol 3,7-di-O-<FONT FACE=Symbol>a</font>-L-rhamnopyranoside in order to study its possible cardiovascular effect.
