Abstract

A new arylnaphthalene lignan, named furfuracin, was isolated from the leaves of Knema furfuracea (Myristicaceae), whereas 7 known compounds including (+)-trans-1,2-dihydrodehydroguaiaretic acid, fragransin A(2), biochanin A, gingkolic acid, anarcardic acid, 2-hydroxy-6-(12-phenyldodecyl)-benzoic acid and 2-hydroxy-6-(12-phenyldodecen-8'Z-yl)-benzoic acid were obtained from its stems. The structure of the new lignan was established by analysis of spectroscopic data (UV, IR, MS and NMR).
