Compound 4 was obtained as a white solid, mp
160-161 oC. In the NMR spectrum, the proton
signals of aromatic ring are similar to those of
compound 3 (piperitol) with 6 proton signals in the
aromatic region, a methylene dioxide, a hydroxyl
and a methoxy group at δH 5.94 (2H, s), 5.76 (1H, s)
and 3.91 (3H, s). However, the remaining protons
signals are similar to those of compound 2, epipinoresinol with 8 protons at δH 4.85 (1H, d, J = 4.5
Hz), 4.43 (1H, d, J = 7.0 Hz), 4.11 (1H, d, J = 9.5
Hz), 3.86-3.84 (2H, m), 3.31-3.30 (2H, m), 2.88
(1H, m). Therefore, compound 4 was identified as
pluviatilol, an isomer of piperitol. The 1H-NMR data
are in good agreement with the reported literature
[9].

Abstract
Knema is a genus of tropical evergreen trees of the family Myristicaceae found in South East Asian countries such
as Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia. In this paper, four lignans, (+)-pinoresinol (1),(+) epi-pinoresinol (2), piperitol (3),
and pluviatilol (4), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the fruit of Knema pachycarpa, an indigenus tree in
Vietnam. The chemical structures were determined by spectroscopic data and comparison with the reported literature.
These compounds were isolated from Knema genus for the first time.
Keywords. Knema pachycarpa de Wilde, (+)-Pinoresinol, (+)-Epi-pinoresinol, Piperitol, Pluviatilol.
1. INTRODUCTION
Knema is a genus of tropical evergreen trees of the
family Myristicaceae found in South East Asian
countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia.
At least 13 species are found in Vietnam, where they
are commonly known as “mau cho” referring to the
red resin secreted in the bark [1]. Traditionally,
Knema species have been used to treat sore, pimples,
cancers and skin diseases. The genus Knema
contains variety of natural compounds including
cardanols, flavonoids, acetophenones, lignans,
acylphloroglucinols, acylresorcinols, and anacardic
acids [2-4].
Knema pachycarpa de Wilde “Mau cho trai day”
is an indigenus tree in Vietnam and the chemical
study of this Knema species has not been reported.
In this paper, we report the isolation of 4 lignan
compounds from the ethyl acetate extract of K.
pachycarpa fruit including (+)-pinoresinol (1), epi-
pinoresinol (2), piperitol (3), and pluviatilol (4).
Their chemical structures were determined by
spectroscopic data and comparison with the reported
literature.
2. EXPERIMENTAL
2.1. General Experimental Procedures
The
1
H-NMR (500 MHz) and
13
C-NMR (125 MHz)
spectra were recorded by a Bruker AM500 FT-NMR
spectrometer using TMS as an internal standard. The
electrospray ionization mass spectra (ESI-MS) were
obtained on an Agilent 1260 series single
quadrupole LC/MS system. Column
chromatography (CC) was performed on silica gel
(Merck, 230-400 mesh) or Sephadex LH-20. Thin
layer chromatography used precoated silica gel
plates (Merck 60 F254). Compounds were visualized
by spraying with Ce-Mo stain.
2.2. Plant material
The fruit of Knema pachycarpa de Wilde was
collected at A-Luoi, Hue city, Viet Nam, in 2015
and identified by Dr. Nguyen The Cuong, Institute
of Ecology and Biological Resources, VAST. A
voucher specimen (VN-1527) was deposited at the
Institute of Marine Biochemistry, VAST.
2.3. Extraction and Isolation
The fruits of K. pachycarpa were sliced into small
pieces and dried. The material (380 g) was extracted
with MeOH at room temperature (3 times, 1
day/time). The extracts were combined and
evaporated in vacuo and the residue was suspended
in H2O. The suspension was successively partitioned
with n-hexane and ethyl acetate to give n-hexane
VJC, 55(4), 2017 To Hai Tung et al.
407
residue (105 g) and ethyl acetate residue (2.3 g).
The ethyl acetate residue (2.28 g) was subjected
to column chromatography on silica gel, eluted
using gradient solvents with n-hexane-ethyl acetate
(50:1 to 0:1, v/v) to afford 5 fractions (E1-E5).
The E2 fraction (702 mg) was separated into 3
sub-fractions (E2.1-E2.3) using CC on Sephadex
eluted with MeOH. The E2.2 sub-fraction (618 mg)
was chromatographed on silica gel column eluted
with CH2Cl2/MeOH 98/2 (v/v) to give 3 sub-
fractions E2.2.1-E2.2.3. Purification of fraction
E2.2.1 (230 mg) with silica gel CC eluted with n-
hexane-ethyl acetate 85:15 (v/v) furnished
compound 1 (24 mg) and compound 2 (11 mg). The
E1 fraction (400 mg) was also fractionated by
column chromatography on Sephadex eluted with
MeOH to give 3 sub-fractions (E1.1-E1.3). The E1.2
sub-fraction (68.5 mg) was purified on silica gel
column using n-hexane-ethyl acetate 85:15 (v/v) to
yield compound 3 (16.4 mg) and compound 4 (2.6
mg).

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Compound 1 was obtained as a white solid. The
ESI-MS showed a molecular ion peak m/z 359
[M+H]
+
, indicating that a molecular formula of 1 is
C20H22O6. In the
13
C-NMR spectra, there were 10
carbon signals suggesting that structure of 1 is
symmetric. The
1
H NMR spectrum revealed the
signals ABX spin systems in the phenyl ring [δH:
6.90 (1H, d, J = 2.5 Hz), 6.87 (1H, d, J = 8.5 Hz),
6.81 (1H, dd, J = 2.0 Hz, J = 8.0 Hz)] with a
methoxy and hydroxyl group signals at δH 3.89 (s,
3H) and 5.68 (br s, 1H), respectively. In addition,
the signals of bis-lignan furan ring were found at δH
4.73 (1H, d, 4.5 Hz), 4.26 (1H, dd, J = 9 Hz; J = 7
Hz), 3.86 (1H, dd, J = 9 Hz; J = 3.5 Hz) and 3.09
(1H, m). The
13
C-NMR showed the signals of
aromatic carbons at δC 146.7 (C-4’), 145.2 (C-3’),
132.9 (C-1’), 118.9 (C-6’), 114.2 (C-5’), 108.6
(C-2’); a methoxy group at δC 55.96 and bis-lignan
furan ring at δC 85.8 (C-7,7’), 54.1 (C-8,8’) and
71.6 (C-9,9’). Analytical NMR, MS and optical data
indicated that the structure of compound 1 is (+)-
pinoresinol. The NMR data is in good agreement
with those in the reported literature [5].

Compound 2 was isolated as a white powder, mp
133-135
o
C. The ESI-MS (molecular ion peak m/z
359) and NMR (20 carbon signals, 22 protons) data
indicated that a molecular formula of 2 is C20H22O6,
the same as compound 1, pinoresinol. The
1
H NMR
spectrum showed typical signals of two ABX
systems [δH 6.95 (d, 1H, J = 1.0 Hz), 6.91 (d, 1H, J
= 1.5 Hz), 6.88 (d, 1H, J = 8.0 Hz), 6.90 (d, 1H, J =
8.5 Hz), 6.83 (dd, 1H, J = 8.5 Hz, 2.0 Hz), 6.77 (dd,
1H, J = 8.0 Hz, 1.0 Hz)] with two methoxy groups at
3.91 (s, 3H), 3.90 (s, 3H). The remaining protons
signals [δH 4.86 (d, 1H, J = 5.5 Hz), 4.43 (d, 1H, J =
7.0 Hz), 4.12 (d, 1H, J = 9.5 Hz), 3.86-3.83 (m, 2H),
3.35-3.30 (m, 2H), 2.92-2.88 (m, 1H)] were
VJC, 55(4), 2017 Lignans isolated from the ethyl acetate
408
analysed and assigned as epi-furofuran ring using
COSY spectrum. The
13
C-NMR and DEPT spectra
of 2 showed the signals of 20 carbons including a
12 aromatic carbon signals [δC 146.7, 146.4, 145.3,
144.4, 133.0, 130.3, 119.1, 118.4, 114.2, 114.2,
108.5, and 108.4], 2 methoxy group signals [δC
56.01 and 55.96] and six carbon signals of epi-
furofuran ring at δC 87.75, 82.13, 71.01, 69.69, 56.0,
55.9, 54.4 and 50.1. Therefore, compound 2 was
identified as (+) epi-pinoresinol, an isomer of
pinoresinol. The NMR data are nearly identical to
those of reported (+) epi-pinoresinol [6].

Compound 3 was isolated as an oil. The NMR
features indicate that the structure of 3 is also a
lignan. The
1
H NMR spectrum showed 6 signals of
two ABX spin systems in the aromatic region [δH:
6.87-6.89 (2H, m), 6.85 (1H, d, J = 1.5 Hz), 6.79-

showed 20 carbon including 12 signals of aromatic
carbons, methylene dioxide group at δC 101.07, a

at δC 85.87, 85.83, 71.72, 71.68, 54.33 and 54.18.

C. In the NMR spectrum, the proton
signals of aromatic ring are similar to those of
compound 3 (piperitol) with 6 proton signals in the
aromatic region, a methylene dioxide, a hydroxyl
and a methoxy group at δH 5.94 (2H, s), 5.76 (1H, s)
and 3.91 (3H, s). However, the remaining protons
signals are similar to those of compound 2, epi-
pinoresinol with 8 protons at δH 4.85 (1H, d, J = 4.5

4. CONCLUSION
A phytochemical investigation of the ethyl acetate
extract of the fruit of K. pachycarpa led to the
VJC, 55(4), 2017 Lignans isolated from the ethyl acetate
410
isolation of four lignans including (+)-pinoresinol
(1), (+) epi-pinoresinol (2), piperitol (3), and
pluviatilol (4). Their chemical structures were
elucidated by spectroscopic NMR and MS data.
These lignans were isolated from Knema genus for
the first time.
