Abstract
Two new lignan glycosides forsythiayanoside A (1) and forsythiayanoside B (2), one new stereoisomer of lignan glycoside (+)-8-hydroxyepipinoresinol-4-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (3), together with seven known compounds (4–10), were isolated from the fruits of Forsythia suspense (Thunb.) Vahl. Compounds 4 and 10 were isolated from this species for the first time. The structures of 1–3 were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectral analyses, including 1D and 2D NMR data and HR-ESI-MS. The absolute configurations were determined by the circular dichroism method. All isolates were tested for their cytotoxicities against five human cancer cell lines (A549, Colo-205, Hep-3B, HL60, and KB). In particular, compound 3 showed significant cytotoxicity with IC50 values of 9.48, 7.75, 0.59, 4.06, and 38.38 μM, respectively.
