title: Phenolic constituents of Phenax angustifolius.
abstract: Fractionation of an ethanolic extract of the leaves of Phenax angustifolius has resulted in the isolation of two new lignans, 2-hydroxy-2-(3',4'-dihydroxyphenyl)methyl-3-(3' ',4' '-dimethoxyphenyl)methyl-gamma-butyrolactone (1) and 2-hydroxy-2-(4'-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-3'-hydroxyphenyl)methyl-3-(3' ',4' '-dimethoxyphenyl)methyl-gamma-butyrolactone (2), and three known compounds, vitexin, isovitexin, and quercetin 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined using spectroscopic methods.
