Activity-guided fractionation of the bark of Nephelium maingayi, collected in Indonesia, led to the isolation of six new saponins (1-6). The aglycon of 4 was determined to be a new compound, 7alpha-methoxyerythrodiol, and those of 1-3 and of 5 and 6 were identified as erythrodiol and maniladiol (16beta-hydroxyamyrin), respectively. The structures of 1-6 were determined on the basis of spectral data interpretation, and the absolute configurations of their component monosaccharides were determined as their thiazolidine derivatives after acid hydrolysis. Of the isolates, only compounds 1 and 5 showed very weak cytotoxic activity against a panel of human tumor cell lines.

In January 2011, branch samples were collected from langsat (Lansium domesticum Corr.), a fruit from Southeast Asia with an expanding niche market in Hawaii, exhibiting corky bark symptoms similar to that found on rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) and litchi (Litchi chinensis) (3). The orchard, located along the Hamakua Coast of Hawaii Island, had 5- to 10-year-old trees, all with corky bark symptoms.
