title: Furofuran lignans from a callus culture of Cichorium intybus.
abstract: Three new and one known furofuran lignans--syringaresinol derivatives--along with the known phenylpropanoids cichoriin and syringin were isolated from a callus tissue of Cichorium intybus. The compounds were characterised by spectral methods. This is the first report on the presence of furofuran lignans in Cichorium species.
