Abstract:
An acetone extract of the fruits of the Taiwanese medicinal plant Schisandra arisanensis has yielded 11 new oxygenated lignans. Four of these, named arisantetralones A-D (1-4), possess the aryltetralone skeleton, while the other seven, named arisanschinins F-L (5-11), are polyoxygenated C(18)-dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans. Structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analyses, especially 2D-NMR techniques. The structure of compound 1 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Immunomodulatory activity of the isolated lignans was tested and evaluated.
