Abstract
Brine shrimp lethality-directed fractionation of the 95% EtOH extract of ripe berries from Lindera benzoin led to the isolation of three new C21 alkane-alkene gamma-lactones designated isolinderanolide, isolinderenolide, and linderanolide as well as the known series of C17 and C19 obtusilactones (isoobtusilactone A, obtusilactone A, isoobtusilactone, and obtusilactone) previously isolated from Lindera obtusiloba. The novel (6Z,9Z,12Z)-pentadecatrien-2-one, the known (6Z,9Z)-pentadecadien-2-one, and the known (+)-(Z)-nerolidol were also isolated as bioactive compounds. The structural elucidation and biological activities of these compounds are reported.Keywords
