چکیده
Chemical investigation of the roots of Cratoxylum formosum has resulted in the isolation and characterization of xanthones: three new, named formoxanthone A-C and three known together with three known anthraquinones. Their structures were established on the basis of analysis of spectroscopic evidence. In addition, antibacterial and cytotoxic activities of the isolates were also evaluated.

Xanthone derivatives from Cratoxylum cochinchinense roots.
Two xanthones and two caged-prenylated xanthones, named cochinchinones A-D, respectively, and a synthetically known caged-prenylated xanthone, together with seven known compounds were isolated from the roots of Cratoxylum cochinchinense (Lour.) Blume. Their structures were assigned on the basis of analyses of spectroscopic data. Some of the compounds exhibited effective antioxidative properties.

متن کاملPrenylated caged xanthones: chemistry and biology.
CONTEXT Prenylated caged xanthones are "privileged structure" characterized by the presence of the unusual 4-oxo-tricyclo[4.3.1.0(3,7)]dec-8-en-2-one scaffold. The natural sources of these compounds confines mainly in the Garcinia genus in the family of Guttiferae. Gambogic acid is the most abundant substance and most of the studies have been done on this compound, particularly as a new potenti...
متن کاملCYTOTOXIC AND ANTIMICROBIAL XANTHONES FROM Cratoxylum arborescens (Guttiferae)
Phytochemical and biological studies were carried out the stem bark of Cratoxylum arborescens collected from Sarawak, Malaysia. Chromatographic separation of the plant extracts led to the isolation of three xanthones, -mangostin (1), -mangostin (2) and fuscaxanthone C (3) together with the commom stigmasterol. The structural elucidation of the compound was determined by detail spectroscopic a...
