Abstract
Fractionation of the EtOH extract of Justicia procumbens, guided by antiplatelet bioassay, led to the isolation of nine known arylnaphthalide lignans, neojusticin A (1), justicidin B (2), justicidin A (3), taiwanin E methyl ether (4), neojusticin B (5), chinensinaphthol methyl ether (6), taiwanin E (8), chinensinaphthol (9), and diphyllin (10), and a new arylnaphthalide lignan that was characterized by spectral means as 4‘-demethylchinensinaphthol methyl ether (7). Compounds 1, 2, 4, and 8 significantly inhibited platelet aggregation.
