Abstract:
The 70% aqueous acetone extract of the aerial part of Viburnum foetidum var. foedidum afforded four new lignans (1-4) together with six known ones. The structures of the four new compounds were elucidated on the basis of 1D (dimensional), 2D-NMR, and mass spectral analysis. The structure of compound 1, with a novel spirocyclic moiety, was also confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 1-10 were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity. However, none of the compounds showed significant cytotoxic activity.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
