Chemical compound
Pinoresinol is a tetrahydrofuran lignan[1] found in Styrax sp.,[2]Forsythia suspensa, and in Forsythia koreana.[3][4] It is also found in the caterpillar of the cabbage butterfly, Pieris rapae where it serves as a defence against ants.[5]
In food, it is found in sesame seed, in Brassica vegetables[6] and in olive oil.[7] Pinoresinol has also been found to be toxic to larvae of the milkweed bug Oncopeltus fasciatus and of the haematophagous insect Rhodnius prolixus, which is a vector of chagas disease.[8]
Currently, pinoresinol is isolated from plants with low efficiency and low yield.[9]
