Phenolic compounds from the fruit of Garcinia dulcis

Non-toxic melanin production inhibitors from Garcinia livingstonei (Clusiaceae)

“…The activity of morelloflavone (1) as an antiinflammatory (Gil et al, 1997;Castardo et al, 2008) and antioxidant (Sanz et al, 1994;Deachathai et al, 2005;Hutadilok-Towatana et al, 2007) are well-documented; it has also been found to be a potent tyrosinase inhibitor (Masuda et al, 2005), anti-HIV-1 (Lin et al, 1997), and anti-bacterial (Verdi et al, 2004) agent, and to have antimalarial (Ngouamegne et al, 2008) and analgesic (Luzzi et al, 1997) properties. Isojacareubin (5) is known for its activity as an anticoagulant (Wu et al, 1998), and 6-deoxyisojacareubin (6) for its antifungal (Morel et al, 2002) and antibacterial (Kuete et al, 2007) properties, while sargaol (4) shows marked activity as an antioxidant (Nahas et al, 2007).…”

Diuretic and Hypotensive Effect of Morelloflavone from Garcinia dulcis in Two-Kidneys-One-Clip (2K1C) Hypertensive Rat

“…It has been reported that G. dulcis contained at least four groups of chemical compounds including flavoniods (epicatechin, dulcisflavone, morelloflavone), benzophenone (garcinol and camboginol), xanthones (dulcisxanthone and garciniaxanthone) (Deachathai et al 2008(Deachathai et al , 2006(Deachathai et al , 2005Mahabusarakam et al 2016) and benzophenone-xanthone dimer (garciduols A-C) (Iinuma et al 1996). The amount of chemical constituents extracted from G. dulcis depended on the part of the plant specimens and the purified procedure.…”

Chromene and Prenylated Xanthones from the Roots of Cratoxylum formosum ssp. pruniflorum

“…pruniflorum was subjected to chemical investigation leading to the isolation of two new xanthones, pruniflorone K (1) and L (2), together with thirteen known xanthones identified as cochinchinone A (3), 11) formoxanthone B (4), 8) 1,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxyxanthone (5), 12) cochinchinone I (6), 10) 1,3,7-trihydroxy-2,4-diisoprenylxanthone (7), 13) celebixanthone methyl ether (8), 14) vieillardiixanthone B (9), 15) macluraxanthone (10), 16) dulcisxanthone B (11), 17) norcowanin (12), 18) 5,9-dihydroxy-8-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-7-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-2H,6H-pyrano [3,2b]xanthone (13), 19) Garcinone B (14), 20) and brasilixanthone (15). 21) Their structures were elucidated by NMR analysis and comparison of their spectroscopic data with those reported in the literatures.…”
