Three new xanthones from the stems of Garcinia oligantha and their anti-TMV activity

Abstract

For more bioactive compounds, phytochemical investigations of the acetone extract of the stems of Garcinia oligantha resulted in the isolation of three new xanthones (1–3) and five known analogues (4–8). Structural elucidations of 1–3 were performed by spectral methods such as 1D and 2D (HMQC, HMBC, and ROESY) NMR spectroscopy, in addition to high resolution mass spectrometry. Compounds 1, 2, 6, 7, and 8 showed anti-tobacco mosaic virus (anti-TMV) activities with inhibition rates above 10%.
