TL;DR: Four lignans were isolated from the flower buds of Magnolia fargesii Cheng, two of which were known lignan, pinoresinol dimethyl ether and liriores inol-B dim methyl ether; the other two were new lignANS, magnolin and fargein.

TL;DR: Phytochemical evidence as well as other data support the suggestion that the progenitor of sesame occurs in India.

TL;DR: The MeOH soluble extract of Brazilian red propolis was found to kill 100% PANC-1 cells preferentially in the nutrient-deprived condition and study on the mode of cell death induced by DMPC indicated that killing process was not accompanied by DNA fragmentation, rather through a nonapoptotic pathway accompanied by necrotic-type morphological changes.

TL;DR: Alcoholic extracts of the heartwood of Liriodendron tulipifera have demonstrated antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Candida albicans, and Aspergillus niger.

TL;DR: In this article, the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of Zanthoxylum acanthapodium were correlated with those of other known lignans and it was shown that 13c NMR shifts can be used to assign unambiguously the nature and configuration of the aryl groups in unsymmetrically substituted 2,6-diaryl-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3] octanes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the isolation of tetrahydrofurofuran lignans from the roots of A. absinthium and six closely related species is reported, all stereoisomers of 1- [(3,4-methylenedioxy-5-methoxy) phenyl]-4-(3, 4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-tetrahydron-1H,3H-furo[3-4-c]furan, was found.
