New neolignans and lignans from Vietnamese medicinal plant Machilus odoratissima NEES

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2006 Mar;54(3):380-3. doi: 10.1248/cpb.54.380.

Abstract

Four new natural neolignans and lignans, which were given the trivial names odoratisols A-D (1-4), together with (-)-licarin A, kachirachirol B, obovatifol, and machilin-I were isolated from the air-dried bark of the Vietnamese medicinal plant Machilius odoratissima NEES (Lauraceae). Their absolute structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analyses including circular dichroism spectra.
