Abstract
Three new bibenzyl compounds, 1-3, were isolated along with the previously known bibenzyls 4-6, one diarylpropanoid 7, and three diarylheptanoids 8-10 from the twigs of Smilax longifolia. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by analyzing their spectroscopic data and comparing them with those of known compounds. Diarylheptanoid 9 exhibited potent lethality in the brine shrimp lethality test (BST).
