Phytochemical investigation of the fruit of Schisandra chinensis led to the isolation of a schisanartane nortriterpenoid, schindilactone H (1); an 18-norschiartane bisnortriterpenoid, wuweizidilactone I (2); two tetrahydrofuran-type Lignans, schinlignins A and B (18 and 19); and three dibenzyl butane-type Lignans, schineolignins A-C (20-22), together with 16 known compounds. The structures of these new compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive analysis of spectroscopic data.
