Lariciresinol(LA) is a dietary phytoestrogen plant lignan. It is one of the main active phytochemicals in many traditional medicinal plants and cereals.
Application
Lariciresinol has been used as a reference standard:
in the purification, identification, and analysis of lignan phytoestrogens and lignan glycosides
for the determination of the enantiomeric composition of lariciresinol from the pinoresinol to lariciresinol reduction reaction using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
forqualitative and quantitative analysis of lignans in seven types of triticalegrain using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lariciresinol is a potent dietary antioxidant and a radical scavenger by potentially chelating catalytic Fe2+ ions. It exerts antimicrobial effects against foodborne pathogens S. aureus and E. coli O157:H7. Lariciresinol is an effective anticancer agent that inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in human HepG2 cells in vitro. It also displays anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects in vitro and in vivo studies respectively.

Lariciresinol is an enterolignan precursor isolated from the herb Sambucus williamsii, a folk medicinal plant used for its therapeutic properties. In this study, the antifungal properties and mode of action of lariciresinol were investigated. Lariciresinol displays potent antifungal properties against

All stereoisomers of lariciresinol were synthesized to examine the effect of stereochemistry on plant growth. Configuration of benzylic 7-positions was constructed through S(N)1 or S(N)2 intramolecular etherification. 8- and 8'-position configurations were established from the starting material except for all

Lariciresinol is a dietary lignan that accounts for a significant portion of the total phytoestrogen intake from Western foods. Recent epidemiological studies suggest that high dietary intake of lignans and lariciresinol is associated with reduced breast cancer risk. However, no
