Three kinds of lignans, including a new lignan, named hernolactone, were isolated from the seeds of Hernandia ovigera L. besides six previously reported lignans, desoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT), desoxypicropodophyllin, bursehernin, podorhizol, hernandin and dehydro-DPT. The structure of hernolactone was determined as (2R, 3R) -3- (4′-hydroxy-3′, 5′-dimethoxybenzyl) -2- (3″, 4″, 5″-trimethoxybenzyl) -γ-butyrolactone (IV) and the other two lignans were identified as (-) -yatein ((-) -deoxypodorhizon) (V) and dehydropodophyllotoxin (IX).

Various podophyllotoxin derivatives from desoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT) were synthesized to examine the structural relationships between the biological significance (cytotoxic effect, effects on DNA topoisomerase II and tubulin polymerization) in vitro and antitumor activity in vivo (L 1210).An intact 6, 7-methylenedioxy group of DPT is necessary to inhibit tubulin polymerization and topoisomerase II. 4'-Phenolic hydroxyl group of DPT is essential to inhibit DNA topoisomerase II and the inhibitory effect on DNA topoisomerase II contributes to a high cytotoxicity.The introduction of an aminoalkoxy group at 1-position of DPT enhances the inhibitory activity against DNA topoisomerase II and cytotoxic effect, causing the inhibitory activity against tubulin polymerization to disappear. The results of antitumor test in mice bearing L 1210 on podophyllotoxin derivatives suggest the following : 1) the strong cytotoxic effect itself is not a good indication of antitumor activity in vivo as long as it is associated with inhibition of tubulin polymerization. DNA topoisomerase II inhibitory effect contributes to an antitumor activity in vivo; 2) detailed measurements of cytotoxicity and inhibition on DNA topoisomerase II and tubulin polymerization in vitro are necessary to evaluate podophyllotoxin derivatives.
