Biochem Physiol Actions: Pinoresinol is present in a number of plants including medical plants like Sambucus williamsii, Eucommia ulmoides (duzhong), Styrax sp, Forsythia suspensa, and in extra virgin olive oil. The genus Sambucus is widely distributed in Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and has been used in traditional medicine as an analgesic, antivirus, antiinflammatory, homoeostatic, and diuretic drugs which act on bruises, fractures, and edema. Pinoresinol displays potent antifungal properties by causing damage to the fungal plasma membrane. It exerts anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities by inhibition of TNF- alpha production (presumably through inhibition of NF- kappaB and AP-1).
