TORRES, RENÉ et al. ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES OF LIGNANS AND FERULIC ACID FROM THE RESINOUS EXUDATE OF LARREA NITIDA. J. Chil. Chem. Soc. [online]. 2003, vol.48, n.3, pp.61-63. ISSN 0717-9707.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-97072003000300012.

From the resinous exudate of twigs end leaves of Larrea nitida, two lignans nor isoguaiacine 1 and meso-nor-dihydroguaiaretic acid 2 and ferulic acid 3 were isolated. The antioxidant activities of resin and pure compounds were assesed by bleaching of the ABTS derived radical-cation
