A New Lignan from the Roots of Ginkgo biloba

A new lignan, named ginkgool ( 1 ), was isolated from the roots of Ginkgo biloba together with four known lignans, isolariciresinol ( 2 ), cycloolivil ( 3 ), pinoresinol ( 4 ), and sesamin ( 5 ). The new lignan was characterized as 4β-(5-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-2α-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3β-(hy...

Description
Summary:A new lignan, named ginkgool ( 1 ), was isolated from the roots of Ginkgo biloba together with four known lignans, isolariciresinol ( 2 ), cycloolivil ( 3 ), pinoresinol ( 4 ), and sesamin ( 5 ). The new lignan was characterized as 4β-(5-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-2α-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3β-(hydroxymethyl)-tetrahydrofuran-4α-ol ( 1 ). The structures of the five compounds were determined on the basis of physicochemical and spectrometric data.
