A new cinnamyl acid derivative, willughbein A (1) along with pinoresinol (2), alyterinate A (3), and scopoletin (4), were isolated from the roots of Willughbeia coriacea Wall. The structure of 1 has been determined based on HRESIMS, 1D, and 2D NMR spectral data. All of the isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against three human cancer cells (HeLa, T47D, MCF-7, and P-388). Compound 3 showed moderate activity against P-388 cells with an IC₅₀ value of 3.04 ㎍/mL.
