Stilbenoids in Lianas of Gnetum parvifolium.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2001
Five new stilbene dimers were isolated from the lianas of Gnetum parvifolium in addition to known stilbenoids. The structures of the compounds were established on the basis of spectroscopic evidence, including long-range coupling and nuclear Overhauser effect experiments, in NMR spectrum.
