Sixteen dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans, including eight new ones, kadheterins A-H (1-8), and a new natural product, 9-benzoyloxy-gomisin B (9), were isolated from the stems of K. heteroclita. The structures of 1-9 were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods, and their absolute configurations
The C(18) dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans including three novel schizanrin F (1), G (2), H (3), along with the known kadsurarin (4), were isolated from Kadsura matsudai. A new C(19) homolignan named schiarisanrin E (5), together with the known C(18) lignans, gomisin B (6), G (7) and (+)-gomisin K(3)
