Popis: Seven new α,β-diphenyl-γ-butyrolactones (1-7), three new lignans (8-10), five new neolignans (11-15), two new 1,3-biphenylpropanoids (16 and 17), and a new flavonol galactoside-lignan ester (18), together with 43 known compounds (19-61), were isolated from the twigs of Cinnamomum cassia. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis as well as chemical methods. The α,β-diphenyl-γ-butyrolactones are a class of unique natural compounds that have only been isolated from C. cassia. Compounds 11 and 12 are rare examples of neolignans possessing a 1,2-dioxetane moiety. Compound 13 is a new oxyneolignan possessing a unique C-9-O-C-9' linkage between the benzopyran and cinnamyl alcohol moieties. Compound 15 is the first example of a natural neolignan possessing a 2-styryl-3-phenyltetrahydrofuran skeleton. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their neuroprotective activities against tunicamycin-induced cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells. Compounds 3, 5, 10, 11, 12, 20, 36, and 56 showed statistically significant neuroprotective activity with EC
