Cytotoxic lignans from the stems of Helicteres hirsuta collected in indonesia

Cytotoxicity‐guided fractionation of the stems of Helicteres hirsuta, of Indonesian origin, led to the isolation and identification of six lignans, namely, (±)‐pinoresinol, (±)‐medioresinol, (±)‐syringaresinol, (−)‐boehmenan, (−)‐boehmenan H and (±)‐trans‐dihydrodiconiferyl alcohol. Of these isolate...

Zusammenfassung:Cytotoxicity‐guided fractionation of the stems of Helicteres hirsuta, of Indonesian origin, led to the isolation and identification of six lignans, namely, (±)‐pinoresinol, (±)‐medioresinol, (±)‐syringaresinol, (−)‐boehmenan, (−)‐boehmenan H and (±)‐trans‐dihydrodiconiferyl alcohol. Of these isolates, (±)‐pinoresinol exhibited potent cytotoxic effects when evaluated against a small panel of cancer cell lines. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
