RESUMO

Annona cacans Warming is a native tree of the south and southeast of Brazil. Its fruits are reported to be laxative by the natives. Like other specimens of the Annoma genus, its main coumpounds are benzilisoquinoline alkaloids, as it was reported in a previous paper. The present work presents the isolation and identification of four flavonoids and p-coumaric acid from parts of the plant.
