Lignanamides are a class of hybrid natural products combining a lignan-type skeleton with amide groups, found in plants such as hemp seed.
Where Does It Come From?
Lignanamide is a naturally occurring lignanamide (phenolic amide).
Research & Evidence
“Lignanamide” refers not to a single compound but to a class of phenolic natural products that combine a lignan-type carbon skeleton with one or more amide (often phenylethylamide) groups. Lignanamides have been described from a number of plants, including hemp seed (Cannabis sativa), and have attracted laboratory interest for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. As a group label rather than a defined molecule, little can be said about a specific “lignanamide” without identifying the individual compound.
