A new sesamin type furofuran lignan, (-)-sesamin-2,2'-diol (1), along with two known flavonoids (2 and 3) and three phenolic compounds (4-6) were isolated from the aerial parts of Isodon japonicus. The structures of these compounds were determined by analysis of spectroscopic data (1D-, 2D-NMR, HRMS and CD) and by comparison of the data with those of related metabolites.

Although Aristolochia plants remain controversial due to their toxicity, this group of perianth-bearing plants, which includes the medicinal species Aristolochia esperanzae, is among the most relevant from an ethnobotanical perspective. All parts of A. esperanzae are used in popular medicine in the form of infusion for the treatment of rheumatism.

Fargesin is an important bioactive furofuran lignan isolated from different plant species. Despite presenting potent biological activities, its stereochemical characterization has relied mostly on empirical correlations of optical rotation, an approach considered risky that commonly leads to misassignments and error propagation. Additionally, the enantiomeric purity of fargesin isolates used for biological assays has not been previously investigated.

Five new furofuran lignans and their derivatives, (-)-glaberide I 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1a), (+)-glaberide I 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1b), (+)-glaberide I 7'-ethoxy-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2a), (-)-glaberide I 7'-ethoxy-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2b), and (-)-isoeucommin A (3b), along with fifteen known analogs were isolated from the stems of Dendrobium 'Sonia'. These compounds were classified into ten pairs of enantiomers or diastereoisomers via chiral resolution, and their structures were determined based on extensive spectroscopic data. Their absolute configurations were determined by hydrolysis, comparison of experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Furofuran lignans have been identified as the main substances responsible for the biological activities of the plant genus . Here, four new phrymarolin-type leptolignans A-D (-) and eight previously known lignans were isolated from . Of these, nine exhibited significant antifeedant activity against armyworm () through a dual-choice bioassay, with the EC values ranging from 0.
