Natural Product Communications, 2007

Two new xanthones, 7-hydroxydesoxymorellin (1) and isocaledonixanthone D (2), and four known ones, gaudichaudione H, 1,7-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-2-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)xanthone, 1,5-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-2-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)xanthone, and 1,3,7-trihydroxy-2-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)xanthone, as well as lupeol were isolated from the leaves of Garcinia urophylla (Guttiferae). Their structures were determined using a combination of 1D (1H NMR, 13C NMR, DEPT) and 2D (COSY, gHSQC, gHMBC) NMR spectroscopic techniques. Among the isolates, 7-hydroxydesoxymorellin (1), gaudichaudione H, 1,5-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-2-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)xanthone, and 1,3,7-trihydroxy-2-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)xanthone demonstrated cytotoxic activities against breast (MCF-7), prostate (DU-145), and lung (NCI-H460) human cancer cell lines.

Cytotoxic xanthones from the stem bark of Garcinia cowa Roxb

The aims of this study was to isolate compounds from the methanol extract of stem bark of Garcinia cowa and to evaluated their cytotoxic activity against breast (MCF-7) and lung (H-460) cancer cell lines. The ethyl acetate fraction was separated by successive silica gel column chromatography to give three compounds. Based on spectroscopic comparison with those of the literature, these compounds were elucidated as 6-hydroxy- calabaxanthone (2), 2-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-1,5,6-trihydroxy-3-methoxy-4-(1,1-dimethyl-2-propenyl)-9H-xanthen-9- one(3), rubraxanthone (4), α-mangostin (5), a new compound 1,3,6-trihydoxy-7-methoxy-4-(4-acetoxy-3-methyl-2- butenyl)-8-(3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl)xanthone (6) and cowanin (7). Complete NMR assignment of 6-hydroxy- calabaxanthone (2) and cowanin (7) were published for the first time. All isolated compounds were subjected to MTT assay against MCF-7, H-460 and DU-145 cancer cell lines. α-mangostin (5) and cowanin (7) were found to be potent against MCF-7 while 6-hydroxy-calabaxanthone (2) potent against DU-145 cell lines. Conclusion: The results indicate that G. cowa stem bark could be one of important sources of natural cytotoxic compounds.

Antiproliferative activity of a new xanthone derivative from leaves of Garcinia nobilis Engl

Natural Product Research, 2020

A new xanthone, mboudiexanthone (1), together with five known compounds, euxanthone (2), isogarcinol (3), garcinol (4), betulinic acid (5) and zeorin (6) were isolated from the leaves of Garcinia nobilis Engl. The structures were determined by 1D and 2D NMR techniques and X-ray diffraction for 6. The in vitro antiproliferative properties of isolated compounds were evaluated against the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. All compounds showed an antiproliferative activity with an IC 50 value down to $11 mM for isogarcinol.

Garcixanthone A, a new cytotoxic xanthone from the pericarps of Garcinia mangostana

Journal of Asian natural products research, 2018

A new prenylated xanthone, garcixanthone A (5), together with eight known compounds, mangostanaxanthones I (1) and II (2), garcinone E (3), β-mangostin (4), 8-hydroxycudraxanthone G (6), garcinone C (7), cudraxanthone G (8), and (-)-epicatechin (9) were isolated from the EtOAc-soluble fraction of the air-dried pericarps of Garcinia mangostana (family Clusiaceae). Their structures were verified on the basis of spectroscopic data interpretation as well as comparison with the literature. The cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities of the new compound were assessed using sulforhodamine B (SRB) and agar disk diffusion assays, respectively. Compound 5 showed significant cytotoxic potential against epithelial lung carcinoma (A549) and breast carcinoma (MCF7) cell lines with IC50s 3.0 and 4.2 μM, respectively, compared to doxorubicin (0.74 and 0.41 μM, respectively).

Garcixanthones B and C, new xanthones from the pericarps of Garcinia mangostana and their cytotoxic activity

Phytochemistry Letters, 2018

Two new prenylated xanthones, garcixanthones B (1) and C (2) and six known metabolites: gartanin (3), 1,3,8trihydroxy-2-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-4-(3-hydroxy-3-methylbutanoyl)-xanthone (4), rubraxanthone (5), 1,3,6,7tetrahydroxy-8-prenylxanthone (6), garcinone C (7), and xanthone I (9-hydroxycalabaxanthone) (8) were separated from the EtOAc-soluble fraction of the air-dried pericarps of Garcinia mangostana (Clusiaceae). Their structures were verified on the basis of spectroscopic data analysis as well as by comparison with the literature. The cytotoxic activity of the new compounds was assessed against MCF7, A549, and HCT116 cell lines using sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. Compounds 1 and 2 showed significant cytotoxic potential against MCF7 (human breast adenocarcinoma) and A549 (lung carcinoma) cell lines with IC 50 s 4.27 and 2.65 and 3.08 and 3.91 μM, respectively compared to doxorubicin (0.06 and 0.44 μM, respectively). However, they exhibited moderate activity towards HCT116 (colon carcinoma) cell line.

Biphenyl and xanthone derivatives from the twigs of a Garcinia sp. (Clusiaceae)

Phytochemistry Letters, 2014

The genus Garcinia is a well known rich source of bioactive xanthones and benzophenones. Some species of this genus also produce flavonoids and biphenyls as minor constituents. In this study, two new biphenyls, doitungbiphenyls A (1) and B (2), along with two biphenyls, schomburgbiphenyl (3) and nigrolineabiphenyl B (4); and four xanthones, 1,3,6-trihydroxy-8-isoprenyl-7-methoxyxanthone (5), morusignin K (6), 1,5-dihydroxyxanthone (7), and 1,7-dihydroxyxanthone (8), were isolated from the acetone extract of the twigs of a Garcinia sp. Their structures were characterized extensively by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and HR-EI-MS. The cytotoxicity of the two new biphenyls against the oral cavity cancer (KB) and the breast cancer (MCF7) cell lines was also evaluated.
