Kadsutherin D, a new dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan from Kadsura species

Abstract

A new dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan, kadsutherin D (1), together with 12 known lignans, kadsurin (2), heteroclitin C (3), interiotherin C (4), schisanlignone A (5), binankadsurin A (6), angeloyl binankadsurin A (7), gomisin U (8), heteroclitin D (9), interiorin (10), schiarisanrin C (11), heteroclitin G (12) and meso-dihydroguaiaretic acid (13) were isolated from the stems of Kadsura species. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including 2D-NMR techniques.
