A new flavonoside, namely cirsimarin B (1), along with two known compounds cirsimarin (2) and acteoside (3), were isolated from the aerial parts of the invasive plant Macfadyena unguis-cati. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses (IR, FT-ICR-MS, 1D and 2D NMR) and by comparison with those reported. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity by the MTT method.
