Planta Med. 2000 Jun;66(5):403-7. doi: 10.1055/s-2000-8593.

Abstract

Four new cytotoxic neolignans, machilusol A (1), machilusol C (3), machilusol D (4), machilusol E (5) as well as two new inactive neolignans, machilusol B (2) and machilusol F (6), were isolated from the stem wood of Machilus obovatifolia. All structures were identified by means of spectroscopic analysis.
