The Forsythia koreana plant produces such lignans as ( − )-secoisolariciresinol, and ( + )-pinoresinol. Cell-free extracts from the plant catalyzed the enantioselective formation of ( − )-[2H10]secoisolariciresinol from [9, 9-2H2, OC2H3]coniferyl alcohol in the presence of NADPH and H2 O2. On the other hand, [2H10]lariciresinosl isolated from the enzymatic reaction products was found to be predominantly composed of the unnatural ( − )-enantiomer [88% enantiomer excess (e.e.)]. The stereoselectivity for the formation of these lignans can be explained, at least in part, by the finding that the enzyme system also catalyzed the stereoselective reduction of ( + )-lariciresinol, but not its ( − )-enantiomer, to ( − )-secoisolariciresinol.
