Two lignans, one alkaloid, and flavanone from the twigs of Feroniella lucida

Four new compounds, two lignans; lucidenal and lucidanin (1 and 2), one alkaloid (3), and one flavanone (4) together with 26 known compounds (5-30), were isolated from the twigs of Feroniella lucida. The structures of the new compounds were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analyses. Lucidenal 1 showed cytotoxicity against HuCCA-1, A549, MOLT-3 and HepG2 cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 4.27, 9.59, 2.31, and 6.50 μg/mL, respectively. A plausible biosynthetic pathway of 1 was proposed.
