The first study of chemical constituents of the stem bark of Calophyllum brasilienses collected in Brazil has led to the isolation and identification of seven new xanthones named brasixanthones A (1), B (4), C (5), D (6), E (2), F (3), and G (10), together with 10 known xanthones. Among the xanthones isolated in this study, 4, 5, 6, and 11 were found to exhibit significant inhibitory activity against 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate induced Epstein-Barr virus early antigen activation in Raji cells.
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.
