The complete H-1 and C-13 chemical shift assignments of six derivatives of
resveratrol [(E)-5-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethenyl]-1,3-benzenediol] that posse
ss leukotriene D4 receptor antagonistic activities are described. Two-dimen
sional COSY, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY experiments, along with molecular modelin
g calculations, were employed to distinguish unambiguously between differen
t configurations of the stilbene moiety. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley & So
