Abstract

One new lignan (7S,8R,7'R,8'R)-7-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-8,8'-dimethyl-8'-hydroxyl-7'-methoxyl-7'-(3',4'-methylenedioxyphenyl)-tetrahydrofuran (1), one new sesquiterpene 2-hydroxy-11,12-dehydrocalamenene (2), one new natural product erythro-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethyl-butane (3), and two known lignans (+)-anwulignan(erythro-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-4-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethyl-butane) (4) and ( - )-zuonin-A (5) were isolated from the stems of Schisandra glaucescens Diels. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The cytotoxicity of compounds 1 and 2 was assayed.
