... Lignans from Virola sebifera Aubl., Virola sp., and Otoba parvifolia (Mkfg.) A. Gentry (Myristicaceae) inhibited the in vitro growth of the fungus cultivated by leaf-cutting ants of the species Atta sexdens rubropilosa Forel (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). A comparison of activity among the lignans was obtained. ...

Juniperus chinensis; leaves; plant extracts; phytotoxins; lignans; chemical structure; chemical constituents of plants; spectral analysis; nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Abstract:
... Two compounds, yatein and podophyllotoxin, were isolated from the chloroform-soluble fraction in the methanolic extractives of byakushin (Juniperus chinensis L.) leaves for the first time. ...
Tsuga heterophylla; sapwood; light; chemical reactions; lignans; chemical structure; lighting; metabolites; discoloration
Abstract:
... The reaction during the early stage of photodiscoloration of constituents in western hemlock [Tsuga heterophylla (Raf. Sarg., Pinaceae] sapwood was investigated with chemical methods. The main photodiscoloring constituents, hydroxymatairesinol, allohydroxymatairesinol, α-conidendrin, and oxomatairesinol, were used as substrates for light-irradiation experiments in vitro. The structures of photodis ...

Abstract:
... The extractives of shirakamba (Betula platyphylla Sukatchev var.japonica Hara) leaves were investigated. Two lignan glycosides were isolated, and their structures were elucidated to be 1-(4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxyphenyl)-2-[1″-(3-α-L-rhamnopyranosyloxypropyl)-3″-hydroxyphenoxy]-1,3-propanediol (I) and a new 2,3-dihydro-2-arylbenzofuran configuration neolignan,cis-2,3-dihydro-2-(4′-α-L-rhamnopyranosylo ...

Taxus cuspidata; lignans; roots; chemical structure; chemical constituents of plants; nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy; spectral analysis; Japan
Abstract:
... The phenolic constituents of the roots ofTaxus cuspidata (Japanese yew) were investigated. Four lignans, [(+)-taxiresinol (1), (+)-lariciresinol (2), (−)-secoisolariciresinol (3), and (+)-pinoresinol (4)] were isolated and identified. The assignment of proton and carbon atoms for the lignans were finally solved by one- and twodimensional-nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The enantiomeric excess ...
