An oligomer from flaxseed composed of secoisolariciresinoldiglucoside and 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaric acid residues

Phytochemistry. 2001 Oct;58(4):587-90. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(01)00279-5.

Abstract

A straight-chain oligomeric structure composed of five secoisolariciresinoldiglucoside (SDG) residues interconnected by four 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaric acid (HMGA) residues (molecular weight ca. 4000 Da) was assigned to the main lignan of flaxseed on the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR).
