Phenolic constituents from the tree barks of garcinia cf cymosa and their antioxidant and antibacterial activities

Abstract: Two isoprenylated xanthones, α-mangostin (1) and β-mangostin (2) were isolated from the tree barks of Garcinia cf cymosa, along with the flavanol epicatechin (3). Their structures were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic data. Compounds 1-3 exhibited moderate in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus sp, while in the 1,2-diphenyl-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) antioxidant assay system only compound 3 showed moderate free radical scavenging activity, with IC50 value of 41.8 ppm.

“…Isoflavonoids have a very restricted distribution in the plant kingdom and occur almost exclusively in the Leguminosae family (Silva et al , ), along with isoflavans such as liquiritegenin ( 2 ) and medicarpin ( 5 ) which have been previously isolated from Cuban and northern Brazilian red propolis, which originates largely from Dalbergia ecastophyllum resin (Piccinelli et al , ). The Nigerian red propolis, according to LC‐MS profiling, also contains polyprenylated benzophenones ( unknowns 14–16 ) that are typically found in Brazilian and Cuban propolis and originate from Clusiaceae species (Yang et al , ; Yuliar et al , ). However, in Nigeria a likely source would be the African mangosteen ( Garcinia livingstonei ) (Yang et al , ).…”

“…The 1 H NMR spectra of compounds (1) and (2) showed an anomeric proton signal at δ 4.62 (d, 2H), confirming the presence of a sugar residue ( table 1 ). The position for the attachment of sugar residue of both compounds was C-6 since the proton signals at position C-5 ( δ 7.15 and 7.18 ppm for compounds (1) and (2), respectively) were shifted to those reported in the literature for β-mangostin [ 19 ]. The sugar moiety of compound (1) was 2-deoxyglucose as the signals of protons of C-2′ appeared at δ 2.27 and 1.35 ppm ( table 1 ) [ 20 ].…”
