Two new xanthone derivatives, named schomburgones A (1) and B (2), along with eight known compounds, including xanthones (3-8) and anthraquinones (9-10) were isolated from the bark of Garcinia schomburgkiana. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis especially 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopies. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against five cancer cell lines (KB, HeLa S-3, HT-29, MCF-7 and HepG-2). Compounds 3-6 and 8 showed good cytotoxicity against all the five cancer cell lines with IC values in the range of 1.45-9.46 µM.
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.
