Abstract

One new arylnaphthalene lignan named kadsuralignan H ( 1) and three new dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans, named kadsuralignans I ( 2), J ( 3), and K ( 4), respectively, were isolated from an EtOAc fraction of the 80% acetone extract of Kadsura coccinea. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. Compound 1 is the second arylnaphthalene lignan isolated from the Kadsura genus. Compounds 1 and 3 showed inhibitory activity on nitric oxide (NO) production by the murine macrophage-like cell RAW264.7, which was activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and recombinant mouse interferon-gamma (INF-gamma).
