title: Paeonins A and B, lipoxygenase inhibiting monoterpene galactosides from Paeonia emodi.
abstract: Paeonins A and B, new monoterpene galactosides have been isolated from the chloroform-soluble fraction of the roots of Paeonia emodi and showed potent lipoxygenase inhibitory activity. The structures of 1 and 2 have been assigned on the basis of spectral analysis including one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques.
