Flavonolignan
Flavonolignans are natural phenols composed of a part flavonoid and a part lignan.Examples
Flavonolignans identified in Silybum marianum silymarin complex include silibinin, silychristin, silydianin, dehydrosilybin, deoxysilycistin, deoxysilydianin, silandrin, silybinome, silyhermin and neosilyhermin and can be produced in vitro. Silibinin is found in the roots of S. marianum while silyamandin can be found in the fruit.
Hydnocarpin can be found naturally in Onopordon corymbosum and can be synthetised.
Scutellaprostin A, B, C, D, E and F can be isolated from Scutellaria prostrata and can also be synthesized.
Hydnowightin can be isolated from Hydnocarpus wightiana seeds.
Three flavonolignans derived from the flavone tricin have been isolated from the herb Avena sativa.
Palstatin has been isolated from the Amazon tree Hymeneae palustris.
Salcolin A and salcolin B can be found in Salsola collina.
Rhodiolin, the product of the oxidative coupling of coniferyl alcohol with the 7,8-dihydroxy grouping of the flavonol herbacetin, can be found in the rhizome of Rhodiola rosea.Glycosides
The flavonolignans tricin 4'-O- ether and tricin 4'-O- ether can be isolated together with their 7-O-glucosides in the leaves of ''Hyparrhenia hirta.
