Honokiol dimers and magnolol derivatives with new carbon skeletons from the roots of Magnolia officinalis and their inhibitory effects on superoxide anion generation and elastase release.

Two honokiol dimers, houpulins A and B (1 and 2), and two magnolol derivatives, houpulins C and D (3 and 4), were isolated and characterized from an ethanol extract obtained from the roots of Magnolia officinalis. The chemical structures were determined based on spectroscopic and physicochemical ana...
