Two kinds of lignans were isolated from the seeds of Hernandia ovigera L. (Hernandiaceae) besides the previously reported desoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT), desoxypicropodophyllin, bursehernin and podorhizol, and the structures of the lignans were clarified. One, C23H24O8, named hernandin, was identified as 5-methoxy-desoxypodophyllotoxin (I) by both chemical and X-ray crystallographic methods. The other, C22H18O7, was obtained by purification of a previously isolated impure substance, mp 270-275°C. This compound was identified as 1, 2, 3, 4-dehydrodesoxypodophyllotoxin (II). This is the first report of the natural occurrence of II in plants.
