Abstract

Bioassay-guided investigation of the aerial parts of Haplophyllum tuberculatum (Forssk) A. Juss grown in Egypt led to the isolation and characterization of two lignans, 1 and 2 [(  )secoisolariciresinol]. The structural mapping of the isolated compounds was established on the basis of intensive 1D and 2D NMR studies. The anticancer activity of the isolated compounds was reported.
