Abstract

Virola venosa contains 5-deoxyflavones in its flowers, unripe fruits (pericarps) and seedlings (leaves). Upon ripening progressively larger quantities of gradually more strongly reduced lignans, including the novel (-)-dihydro-3′,4′-dimethoxy-3′,4′-demethylenedioxycubebin, appear in all parts of the fruits. Dibenzyllactols, including, (-)-cubebin, and the furofuran, (+)-sesamin, are the major lignans, respectively, of mature seeds and seedlings (roots).
