Phytochemical investigation of the 80% MeOH extract from the leaves of Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum resulted in the isolation of seventeen compounds; two terpenes, three norsesquiterpenes, one furofuran lignan, and eleven phenolic derivatives. Their chemical structures were characterized by spectroscopic methods to be trans-phytol (1), phytene-1,2-diol (2), icariside B2 (3), (6S,9S)-roseoside (4), sedumoside G (5), pinoresinol-4-O-glucoside (6), 2-methoxy-2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol (7), 2-hydroxy-2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol (8), Benzyl ${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (9), methyl ferulate (10), trans-ferulic acid (11), methyl-p-hydroxycinnamate (12), glucosyl methyl ferulate (13), linocaffein (14), siringin (15), 2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-ethyl-O-${\beta}$-Dglucopyranoside (16), and pseudolaroside C (17). All compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant.

A new 2,7'-cyclolignan named lonicerinol (1) along with eight known lignans, (-)-epipinoresinol (2), (-)-pinoresinol (3), $9{\alpha}$-hydroxypinoresinol (4), 7R,8S-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (5), ($\pm$)-neo-olivil (6), (+)-isolariciresinol (7), 3-methoxy-8,4'-oxyneoligna-3',4,7,9,9'-pentol (8), and (-)-pinoresinol 4-O-glucoside (9), were isolated from the caulis of Lonicera japonica THUNB. (Caprifoliaceae). All of these constituents except for (-)-pinoresinol (3) and $9{\alpha}$-hydroxypinoresinol (4) are reported for the first time from the genus Lonicera. The structures and absolute configurations of these compounds were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, including CD and 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques and chemical methods.
