Abstract:
A new norlignan, named sauchinolide A(
1 ), together with two known tetrahydrofuran lignans(
2 and
3 ), were isolated from the 95% EtOH extract of the whole plants of
Saururus chinensis. All of them were isolated from the family Saururaceae for the first time. The effect of the obtained compounds on hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R)injury in human endothelial EA. hy926 cells were preliminarily evaluated. The results showed that compound
2 exhibited moderate protective effect against H/R injury in EA. hy926.
