A xanthone derivative, 3,6,7-trihydroxy-1-methoxyxanthone has been isolated from the stem bark of Allanblackia monticola together with other known compounds, 2,6-dihydroxy-1-methoxyxanthone, allanxanthone A, epicathechin and oleanolic acid acetate. The structure of the new compound was elucidated by spectroscopic methods.

Lupeol, a naturally occurring lupane-type pentacyclic triterpenoid, is widely distributed in various edible vegetables, fruits, and medicinal plants. Notably, it is found in high concentrations in plants like , , and , among others. Quantitative studies have highlighted its presence in Elm bark, Olive fruit, Aloe leaf, Ginseng oil, Mango pulp, and Japanese Pear bark.

Background: Plasmodium falciparum, one of the causative agents of malaria, has high adaptability through mutation and is resistant to many types of anti-malarial drugs. This study presents an in vitro assessment of the antiplasmodial activity of some phenolic compounds isolated from plants of the genus Allanblackia.
Methods: Tests were performed on well plates filled with a fixed parasitized erythrocytes volume.

Stem bark of Allanblackia monticola has been used in association with others plant in the Cameroonian folk medicine for the treatment of various diseases such amoebic dysentery, diarrhoea, lung infections, and skin diseases. The methylene chloride fraction, its isolated compounds like alpha-mangostin, lupeol and acid betulinic were screened for antioxidant activity using free radical scavenging method. These isolated compounds were further tested for anti-inflammatory properties using carrageenan-induced model.

Phytochemical investigations of the seeds of ALLANBLACKIA MONTICOLA have led to the isolation and characterization of one new xanthone derivative, named allanxanthone E ( 1), together with seven known compounds, including five xanthones, 1,7-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-2-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)xanthone ( 2), alpha-mangostin ( 3) , garciniafuran ( 4) , allanxanthone C ( 5), and 1,6-dihydroxy-2,4-diprenylxanthone ( 6), and two pentacyclic triterpenes, friedelin and lupeol. The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of one- and two-dimensional NMR homo- and heteronuclear correlation evidence. Some of these compounds were evaluated for their apoptotic and antiproliferative activities against human leukemic B lymphocytes, such as the hairy cell leukemia-derived ESKOL cell line and cells from B-CLL (B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia) patients.

In a preliminary antiprotozoal screening of several Clusiaceae species, the methanolic extracts of Allanblackia monticola and Symphonia globulifera showed high in vitro leishmanicidal activity. Further bioguided phytochemical investigation led to the isolation of four benzophenones: guttiferone A (1), garcinol (2), cambogin (3) and guttiferone F (4), along with three xanthones: allanxanthone A (5), xanthone V1 (6) and globulixanthone C (7) as active constituents. Compounds 1 and 6 were isolated from S.
