From seeds of Arctium lappa L. (Asteraceae) we obtained arctigenin (1), arctiin (2), chlorogenic acid (3), 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (4), 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (5), 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid (6), matairesinol (11), isolappaol A (12), lappaol F (14), and lappaol B (15), together with 1:1 mixtures of isolappaol C (7) and lappaol C (8), arctignan E (9) and arctignan D (10), and 12 and lappaol A (13), while 3,3′,4′-tri- O-demethylarctigenin (16), 3,3′-di- O-demethyl-4′-dehydroxyarctigenin (17), and 3- O-demethylarctigenin (18) were obtained by anaerobic microbiological metabolism of 1. Then, we evaluated the in vitro preferential cytotoxic activity of these pure compounds and 1:1 mixtures, together with enterodiol (19) and enterolactone (20), against human pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells in nutrient-deprived medium (NDM). Among them, 1 and 18 showed potent activity, with PC 50  values of 1.75 and 4.38 μ M, respectively, while 11, 15, and 17 showed mild activity with PC 50  values of 31.1, 30.9, and 38.7 μ/M, respectively. By comparing their structures and PC 50  values, the following structural moieties could be concluded to be important for the preferential cytotoxicity of 1: 1) the 3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl group at the 2-position on the γ-butyrolactone ring, 2) the less polar substituent at the 3-position on the γ-butyrolactone ring, and 3) the γ-butyrolactone ring.
