Synthesis and Cytotoxicity of Novel Lignans [PDF]

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 1995
In this study the syntheses of 11 novel lignans are described. Their cytotoxicities are studied in GLC4, a human small cell lung carcinoma cell line, using the microculture tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Ten of these compounds were substituted with a menthyloxy group on the 5-position of the lactone. These compounds can easily be prepared in (novel) 'one-pot'

Lignan from Alnus japonica Inhibits Adipocyte Differentiation via Cell Cycle and FOXO1 Regulation

Molecules, 2020
In the present study, we isolated a lignan ((−)-(2R,3R)-1,4-O-diferuloylsecoisolariciresinol, DFS) from Alnus japonica and evaluated its antiobesity potential in vitro. We also determined its mechanism of action in a mouse pre-adipocyte 3T3-L1 cell line.
