New lignans from the heartwood of Cunninghamia lanceolata. (1/9)
Two new lignans, including the aryltetralin-type lignan, lanceoline (1), and the diaryl butyrolactone-type lignan, 5-methoxytrachelogenin (2), together with 5-methoxywikstromol (3), were isolated from the low-polar layer of a heartwood extract of Cunninghamia lanceolata as their acetylated derivatives 1a, 2a and 3a, respectively, and were identified by spectroscopic analyses. The (13)C-NMR data for 3a are reported for the first time in this paper. (+info)Proteome profiling of early seed development in Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook. (2/9)

(+info)"Cunninghamia" is a genus of evergreen trees that belong to the family Taxodiaceae. The term refers specifically to two species, Cunninghamia lanceolata (also known as Chinese fir or China-fir) and Cunninghamia konishii (also known as Konishi's fir). These trees are native to eastern and southeastern Asia, particularly in regions of China, Vietnam, and Laos.
Cunninghamia trees are characterized by their tall, straight trunks, with a height that can reach up to 50 meters or more, and their narrow, lanceolate-shaped leaves. They have a conical crown and produce small, round cones containing seeds. The wood of Cunninghamia trees is highly valued for its durability, strength, and resistance to decay, making it a popular choice for construction, furniture-making, and other woodworking applications.
It's worth noting that "Cunninghamia" is a taxonomic term used in the field of botany, specifically for this genus of trees. It does not have a direct medical definition or application, although like many plants, various parts of Cunninghamia trees have been used in traditional medicine in some cultures. However, it's important to note that the efficacy and safety of such remedies are not supported by modern scientific research and should be approached with caution.
Cupressaceae is a family of coniferous plants, also known as the cypress family. It includes a variety of genera such as *Cupressus* (cypress), *Juniperus* (juniper), *Thuja* (arborvitae or cedar), and *Chamaecyparis* (false cypress or Port Orford cedar). These plants are characterized by their small, scale-like leaves, and many produce cones that contain seeds. Some species in this family have economic importance as timber, ornamental plants, or for their essential oils.
