olivil and isolariciresinol

To study the chemical constituents in the stem bark of Styrax perkinsiae.. The chemical constituents were separated and purified by chromatographic methods after solvent extraction and identified by spectroscopic analyses.. Ten lignans were isolated from the stem bark of Styrax perkinsiae and identified as following: pinoresinol 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), matairesinoside (2), styraxlignolide B (3), 3- (β-D-glucopyranosyloxymethyl)-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-5-(3-hydroxypropyl )-7-methoxy-(2R , 3S) -dihydrobenzofuran (4), burselignan (5), (+) -neo-olivil (6), threo-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl )-2-[ 4-(3-hydroxypropyl)-2-methoxyphenoxy]-1, 3-propanediol (7), erythro-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl )-2-[ 4-(3-hydroxypropyl )-2-methoxyphenoxy ] -1 ,3-propanediol (8), isolariciresinol(9) and (+) -lariciresinol (10).. Compounds 5 - 10 are isolated from the plants of Styrax genus for the first time.
