title: Isolation and characterization of new lignans from the leaves of Cestrum parqui.
abstract: Three new compounds, a sesquilignans, an oxyneolignan and a norlignan, have been isolated from the aqueous fraction of Cestrum parqui. All of the compounds have been identified on the basis of their spectroscopic properties and tested on the species Lactuca sativa and Lycopersicon esculentum to evaluate their phytotoxic activity.
