Abstract
A new furofuranoid lignan glucoside ((+)-epipinoresinol-4?-ß-D-glucoside) and the known lignan glucoside phillyrin ((+)-epipinoresinolmethyl ether-4?-ß-D-glucoside), were isolated from the aerial parts of Anisacanthus virgularis Nees, along with some known steroids, a terpenoid and flavonoids. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis, chemical derivatization and/or direct comparison with authentic samples. Furofuranoid lignans are reported in the family Acanthaceae for the first time. Their potential biological activity and chemotaxonomic value are discussed.
