Activity-guided fractionation of twigs of Pistacia chinensis resulted in the isolation and characterization of two novel ingredients as potent estrogen agonists. On the basis of spectral analysis and comparison with a related compound their structures were elucidated as 3,3-double-prime-dimers of 4-aryldihydrocoumarins (3,4-dihydro-4-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-7-hydroxycoumarin) differing only in the stereochemical disposition of the linkage between the two 4-arylcoumarin moieties. These compounds are the first examples of bis-flavonoids which have been proven to possess estrogen-like activity.
