Abstract

Five new dibenzocyclooctadiene Lignans, longipedlignans A-E (1-5), five new tetrahydrobenzocyclooctabenzofuranones (6-10), and 18 known analogues (11-28) were isolated from the roots of Kadsura longipedunculata. Compounds 6-10 are new spirobenzofuranoid-dibenzocyclooctadiene-type Lignans. Their structures and absolute configurations were established using a combination of MS, NMR, and electronic circular dichroism data. Spirobenzofuranoids 6 and 15 showed moderate hepatoprotective activity against N-acetyl- p-aminophenol-induced toxicity in HepG2 cells with cell survival rates at 10 μM of 52.2% and 50.2%, respectively.
