[Studies on chemical constituents of Schisandra propinqua (Wall.) Hook. f. et Thoms].
OBJECTIVE
To isolate and characterize compounds from the stems of Schisandra propinqua.


METHODS
Extracting with solvent, isolating by column chromatography and identifying by the spectroscopic methods.


RESULTS
Six dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans were isolated and identified as tigloylgomisin P(1), angeloylgomisin O(2), angeloylisogomisin O(3), kadsulignan L(4), (+/-) 5,8-epoxyl-6, 7-dimethyl-2',3',2",3"-dimethylenedioxy-4', 1"-dimethyl-1,2:3,4-dibenzo-1, 3-cyclooctadiene(5) and wuweizisu C(6).


CONCLUSIONS
Compounds 4 and 5 were the first two dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans with an 6,9-epoxy bridge cycle discovered in the genus Schisandra. The others were originally isolated from S. propinqua.
