The <em>Garcinia</em> genus is a well known tropical plant in the Indo-Malesiana region and mainly distributed in tropical countries including Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. Previous phytochemical studies on <em>Garcinia </em>species have led to the identification and isolation of mainly prenylated xanthones. This research describes the isolation and structure elucidation of isolated triterpenoids compounds from the bark of <em>Garcinia porecta</em>. Dried powder bark of <em>G. porecta </em>was extracted with methanol and then partitioned with <em>n</em>-hexane, ethyl acetate, and <em>n</em>-butanol. The <em>n</em>-hexane extract then was separated and purified with chromatography techniques to obtain isolated compounds <strong>1</strong><strong> </strong>and<strong> 2</strong>. The chemical structure of isolated compounds was elucidated by spectroscopic methods including one and two-dimensional NMR as well as high-resolution mass spectrometric analysis and identified as lanosterol (<strong>1</strong>) dan arabidiol (<strong>2</strong>), respectively. These triterpenoids were isolated from this plant for the first time. Compound <strong>1</strong> and <strong>2</strong> showed weak cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells with IC<sub>50</sub> values of 60.09 dan 46.17 µM, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
