Abstract
Two new geranylated xanthones, 6-O-methylcowanin (4) and oliverixanthone (5), along with five known
compounds, cowanin, rubraxanthone, cowaxanthone, cowanol, and β-mangostin, have been isolated from the
bark of Garcinia oliveri. For comparison of their biological activities, one mono- and seven di-O-alkylated
α-mangostin derivatives were synthesized from α-mangostin. The structures of all compounds were assigned by
spectroscopic methods (1D and 2D NMR and MS). Cytotoxicity of selected xanthones against MCF-7 and DLD-1
cell lines was examined. Evaluation of the structure–activity relationship showed that α-mangostin had the
strongest activity, and all the O-alkylated α-mangostin derivatives showed reduced activity compared to the naturally
occurring α-mangostin.
