The antioxidant activity of butane-type lignans was evaluated. Secoisolariciresinol (SECO) and dihydroguaiaretic acid (DGA) showed higher radical scavenging activity than that of 7,7′-dioxodihydroguaiaretic acid (ODGA). SECO and DGA inhibited the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acid. Both enantiomers of DGA were also lipoxygenase inhibitors, but neither enantiomer of SECO inhibited the lipoxygenase activity.
