Norlignans with Hyaluronidase Inhibitory Activity from<i>Anemarrhena asphodeloides</i>

Abstract

Assay-guided fractionation of an MeOH extract of ANEMARRHENA ASPHODELOIDES Bunge has furnished two hyaluronidase inhibitory norlignans, CIS-hinokiresinol ( 1) and 1,3-di- P-hydroxyphenyl-4-penten-1-one ( 2), and an inactive norlignan 4'-methyl- CIS-hinokiresinol ( 3). Compound 2 is a new compound.
