Six lignans, isodaurinol, daurinol, justicidin A, justicidin B, diphyllin, and (−)-matairesinol, four furoquinoline alkaloids, dictamnine, robustine, haplopine, and skimmianine, and two coumarins, scopoletin and seselin have been isolated from Haplophyllum cappadocicum, a plant native to eastern Turkey. Isodaurinol, the novel arylnaphthalene lignan, is a structural isomer of the already known
... [Show full abstract] daurinol. This is also the first report of the isolation of (−)matairesinol from the genus Haplophyllum. The structures of the compounds described were established by spectroscopic analyses.
