It has been investigated whether secoisolariciresinol (SECO) and anhydrosecoisolariciresinol (AHS), an acid degradation product of SECO, could be fermented in a similar way, and to a similar extent, by members of the intestinal microbiota. AHS and SECO were demethylated by

The bioactivity of lignans depends on their transformation by gut bacteria. The intestinal bacteria Clostridium saccharogumia, Eggerthella lenta, Blautia producta and Lactonifactor longoviformis convert the plant lignan secoisolariciresinol diglucoside via secoisolariciresinol (SECO) into the bioactive enterolignans enterodiol (ED) and enterolactone

The larvicidal activity against Culex pipiens of all stereoisomers of dihydroguaiaretic acid (DGA) and secoisolariciresinol was measured, and these DGAs were found to be potent. Sixteen (-)-DGA derivatives were then newly synthesized to analyze their structure-activity relationship. Two derivatives monohydroxylated
