K. Matsunaga et al., CYLINDOL-A, A NOVEL BIPHENYL ETHER WITH 5-LIPOXYGENASE INHIBITORY ACTIVITY, AND A RELATED COMPOUND FROM IMPERATA-CYLINDRICA, Journal of natural products, 57(9), 1994, pp. 1290-1293
Cylindol A [1] and B [2], two novel substances, have been isolated fro
m Imperata cylindrica, and their structures have been elucidated on th
e basis of their spectral data coupled with chemical evidence and tota
l synthesis. Cylindol A [1] showed 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity.
