Abstract:
A new diarylheptanoid, epihirsutanonol (1), was isolated from the bark of Alnus japonica, along with two known ones (2 and 3). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic evidence. The new compound 1 showed significant hepatoprotective activity on the basis of t-butylhydroperoxide-induced hepatocyte injury in vitro assay.
