Abstract

The genus of Tanacetum belongs to Compositeae family, distributed in South and Southwestern Europe, Southwestern of Asia and North of Africa. The aerial parts of Tanacetum Canescens (DC.) were collected during the flowering stage from Sanandaj in Kordestan Province. The chloroform extract of T. canescens was investigated and β-stigmasterol and two flavonoids, 5-hydroxy 6,7, 4^'- trimethoxy flavone and 5,3'- dihydroxy 6,7, 4'– trimethoxy flavone were isolated. The structure of these natural products was elucidated by using ¹H and ¹³C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
