Abstract Polygonum flaccidum Meissn. is an annual herb, native to Bangladesh, and well known for its analgesic, anti‐inflammatory, diuretic, purgative and insecticidal properties, and also for its use against snake‐bites. The analgesic and the diuretic properties of α‐santalone (1), isolated from the aerial parts of Polygonum flaccidum , were assessed by the acetic‐acid‐induced writhing method and the Lipschitz test, respectively. Complete 1 H and 13 C NMR data of 1 are also presented. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
