Two new schisdilactone-type compounds from Schisandra chinensis.

Two new schisdilactone-type compounds, respectively, named schisdilactone H (1) and schisdilactone I (2), were isolated from the stems of Schisandra chinensis. The structures and absolute configurations of these new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis as well as time-dependent density functional theory electronic circular dichroism calculations.
