title: A new amide from the leaves and twigs of Litsea auriculata.
abstract: A new amide, N-trans-sinapoylmethoxytyramine (1), along with three known amides (2-4) and two known flavonol 3-O-rhamnosides (5 and 6), were isolated from the leaves and twigs of Litsea auriculata. The structures of the isolated compounds (1-6) were characterized on the basis of spectroscopic analyses, and their cytotoxic activity against HeLa cells was estimated.
