A lignan that consists of 7,8-dihydronaphthalen-2-ol substituted by a 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl group at position 8, hydroxymethyl groups at positions 6 and 7 and a methoxy group at position 3 (the 7R,8S stereoisomer). Isolated from Vitex negundo, it exhibits inhibitory activity against lipoxygenase.

Enzyme inhibiting lignans from Vitex negundo.

Author: Azhar-Ul-Haq, Malik A, Anis I, Khan SB, Ahmed E, Ahmed Z, Nawaz SA, Choudhary MI.

Abstract: Two new lignans trivially named negundins A (1) and B (2), were isolated along with (+)-diasyringaresinol (3), (+)-lyoniresinol (4), vitrofolal E (5) and vitrofolal F (6), reported for the first time from this species. The structures of the new compounds were established through spectral studies. Compound 2 showed potent inhibitory activity against lipoxygenase enzyme, while 5 showed moderate activity against butyryl-cholinesterase.
