MS were taken at 70 eV on a Finnigan MAT-112 or MAT-312 instrument and
major ions are presented as m/z (%). FAB-MS were measured as a glycerol
matrix on a JEOL HX110 Mass spectrometer. TLC purification was carried
out on pre-coated silica gel cards (E. Merck) and the spots were observed
first under UV (254 nm) and then sprayed with cerium(IV) sulfate reagent
and heated until coloration developed. Recycling preparative HPLC (RPH-
PLC) was used for final purification (JAI LC-908W, Japan Analytical Indus-
try Co., Ltd.) with a column YMC ODS H-80 or L-80 (YMC, Japan).
Plant Material The whole plant of Viscum album L. was collected from
walnut (Juglans regia) trees from Kundershah, Neelum Valley, Azad Kash-
mir, on the 15th of August 2002, and identified by Prof. Shafiq-ur-Rehman.
A voucher specimen (No. Azbuherb 231) was deposited in the Herbarium of
the University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Muzaffarabad.

Extraction and Isolation The methanolic crude extract (45 g) was sus-
pended in dist. H O and partitioned with EtOAc (3 lϫ3) and n-BuOH

(3 lϫ3) successively, yielding EtOAc (1.2 g), and n-BuOH extracts (19.4 g).
The EtOAc extract was subjected to column chromatography over silica gel
