Abstract
From the rhizomes of Curculigo pilosa, two benzylbenzoate diglucosides, pil oside A and piloside B, and a glucosyl-fused norlignan, pilosidine, previou sly obtained only as the tetra-O-methyl derivative, were isolated. Pilosidi ne showed facilitating effect on adrenaline evoked contractions in rabbit a orta isolated preparations. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reser ved.
