Background: Plant secondary metabolites act as defence molecules to protect plants from biotic and abiotic stresses. In particular, C-glycosylated flavonoids are more stable and reactive than their O-glycosylated counterparts. Therefore, vitexin (apigenin 8-C glucoside) present in Ficus deltoidea is...
