Leoligin is a constituent of Edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum Cass.) roots. The popular alpine plant Edelweiss is used in folk medicine for the treatment of indigestion, fever, and ‘abdominal aches’. Leoligin (IUPAC name: [(2S,3R,4R)-4-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl]methyl (2Z)-2-methylbut-2-enoat) is a lignan, which we isolated from the roots of Edelweiss.
