Specification
Vitexin (8-β-D-glucopyranosyl-apigenin), isolated from the flowers of Ochrocarpus longifolius L. and Arnebia hispidissima Dc., exhibited potent hypotensive, anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic (nonspecific) properties. Hypotensive effect of Vitexin was attributed to its ganglion-blocking properties and antiinflammatory effects to its anti-histaminic, anti-bradykinin and anti-serotonin properties
