Cordia lutea is known for its medicinal value. This paper deals with a phytochemical investigation of this species, from which rutin, quercitin, linolenic acid, hexadecanoic acid and hexadecanoic acid glyceryl ester have been isolated as main the components. Alkaloids were not detected (UPLC-MS), indicating the absence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). The absence of PAs in C. lutea implies no PAs toxicological risk for this plant.
