Diarylbutyrolactone Lignans from Linum corymbulosum in vitro Cultures

Abstract

The arylbutyrolactone lignans (-)-hinokinin, 3,4 : 3′,4′-bis(methylenedioxy)-lign-7(E)-en-9,9′-olide and 3,4 : 3′,4′-bis(methylenedioxy)-lign-7(Z)-en-9,9′-olide, hitherto unknown for the genus Linum, were isolated by HPLC from callus cultures of Linum corymbulosum (Linaceae) and identified by spectroscopic methods.
