Antiplasmodial and other constituents from four Indonesian Garcinia spp.

Phytochemical investigations of four Garcinia spp. from Indonesia, i.e. Garcinia griffithii T. Anderson, Garcinia celebica L., Garcinia cornea L. and Garcinia cymosa K. Schum (Clusiaceae), have resulted in the isolation of a xanthone, 1,5-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethoxy-2,7-diprenylxanthone, 1,7-dihydroxyxanthone, isoxanthochymol, beta-sitosterol-3-O-beta-D-glucoside and stigmasterol-3-O-beta-D-glucoside from the stem bark of G. griffithii; friedelin and 3beta-hydroxy-23-oxo-9,16-lanostadien-26-oic acid or garcihombronane D from leaves of G. celebica; 23-hydroxy-3-oxo-cycloart-24-en-26-oic acid and epicatechin from stem bark of G. cornea; (+/-)-morelloflavone, morelloflavone-7-O-beta-D-glucoside or fukugiside, the triterpene 3beta-hydroxy-5-glutinen-28-oic acid and canophyllol from stem bark of G. cymosa. The xanthone and garcihombronane D displayed a selective activity against Plasmodium falciparum; isoxanthochymol and the triterpene beta-hydroxy-5-glutinen-28-oic acid a broad but non-selective antiprotozoal activity.

Tetraoksigenasi Santon dari Kulit Batang Garcinia nigrolineata Tetraoxygenated Xanthone from The Stem Bark of Garcinia nigrolineata

A tetraoxygenated xanthone, 1,7-dihidroxy-3-methoxy-4-(3methylbut-2-enyl),6’,6’ –dimethylpyrano (2’ , 3’ : 5, 6) xanthone had been isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the stem bark of Garcinia nigrolineata Planch Ex T. Anders. The structure of these compounds were determined on the basis of spectroscopic NMR 1D and 2D.
