A New Lignan from the Leaves of Phyllanthus emblica
摘要
Four lignans (1–4), including a new one, namely (7R,8S)-9-hydroxy-3,4-methylenedioxy-3′,9′-dimethoxy[7-O-4′,8-5′]neolignan (1), were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the dried leaves of Phyllanthus emblica L. Their structures were determined on the basis of extensive MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques, and comparison with literature data. Compounds 1–4 exhibited low sensitivity towards five specific human cancer cell lines and no obvious antioxidant activity.
