Three new norlignans, glechomols A-C (1-3, respectively), together with a known compound, 4-ethylcatechol (4), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of Glechoma longituba (NaKai) Kupr. Their structures were elucidated by the detailed analysis of 1D and 2D NMR and HR-MS data. Glechomols A-C were the first norlignans reported from genus Glechoma, and compound 4 was also isolated from genus Glechoma for the first time. Intracellular antioxidant assays showed that compounds 1-4 displayed significant protective effects on H2O2-induced cardiac cell injury.

The dried fruit of Amomum villosum (Amomi Fructus) is an important spices and traditional Chinese medicine. In this study, the EtOH extract of Amomi Fructus was revealed with hypoglycemic effects on db/db mice by increasing plasma insulin levels. After extracted with EtOAc, the EtOAc fraction showed increased activity in stimulating glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion compared with the EtOH extract.

Two new -lignans siamensinols A-B (-) and seven known compounds agatharesinol (), syringaresinol-glucoside (), noreugenin (), 8-methyleugenitol (), melachromone (), uncinoside A () and daucosterol () were isolated from Hieron. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic methods, including 1 D, 2 D-NMR, HR-ESI-MS and CD spectrometry. Compounds showed moderate inhibitory effect on MOLT-3 cells while 8-methyleugenitol () exhibited moderate inhibitory effect on three tumor cells (HepG2, A549 and HuCCA-1).
