Abstract
Absolute configuration of taxiresinol 1, a lignan from the heartwood of Taxus wallichiana has been determined as 8R, 8′R, and 7′R with the help of chemical correlation method and X-ray crystallography. The anticancer activity of taxiresinol 1 and other two lignans 2, 3 were also studied. Taxiresinol 1 showed notable anticancer activity in the in vitro bioassays against colon, liver, ovarian and breast cancer cell lines.
