<abstract language="eng">The present communication reports the isolation and identification of three lignans from metanolic root extracts of Strychnos guianensis (Aublet) Mart.: olivil (1), cycloolivil (2) and the unknown derivative cycloolivil carbonate (3). From hexane extracts was identified a long chain fatty acid mixture and the triterpene lupeol. The analyses were based on chromatographic and spectroscopy techniques (IR, MS, GC/MS, ¹H-NMR and 13C-NMR, 1D (BB, DEPT 135) and 2D (¹H, ¹ H-COSY, ¹H, 13C-COSY, ¹H, 13C-COSY-LR, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY) and comparison with literature data
