Cytotoxicity assays were performed on selected compounds.

Main Results:

Five compounds were isolated: one new lignan (1), one new sesquiterpene (2), one new natural product (3), and two known lignans ((+)-anwulignan (4) and (-)-zuonin-A (5)).
The structures of all isolated compounds were determined using spectroscopic data.
Compounds 1 and 2 were assayed for cytotoxicity.

Conclusions:

The study successfully identified novel and known compounds from Schisandra glaucescens Diels.
The structural characterization provides a basis for further pharmacological investigations.
Further research is needed to explore the biological activities and potential applications of these compounds.
