Possible antiinflammatory effects of eudesmin were examined by assessing the effects on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha production and lymphocyte proliferation as well as cytotoxicity against murine and human macrophages. The compound significantly inhibited TNF-alpha production by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine macrophage
Eudesmin, fargesin, epimagnolin A, magnolin, and yangambin are tetrahydrofurofuranoid lignans with various pharmacological activities found in Magnoliae Flos. The inhibition potencies of eudesmin, fargesin, epimagnolin A, magnolin, and yangambin on six major human uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) activities in human liver

Intramolecular radical cyclization of suitably substituted epoxy ethers 4a-g using bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(III) chloride as the radical source resulted in trisubstituted tetrahydrofurano lignans and 2,6-diaryl-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane lignans depending on the reaction conditions. The titanium(III) species was prepared in situ from commercially available titanocene
