Three xanthones, polyanxanthone A (1), B (2) and C (3) have been isolated from the methanol extract of the wood trunk of Garcinia polyantha, along with five known xanthones: 1,3,5-trihydroxyxanthone (4); 1,5-dihydroxyxanthone (5); 1,3,6,7-tetrahydroxyxanthone (6); 1,6-dihydroxy-5-methoxyxanthone (7) and 1,3,5,6-tetrahydroxyxanthone (8). Their structures were determined by means of 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques. Some of the above compounds were screened for their anticholinesterase activity on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes.

One undescribed xanthone, hypersine H (1), together with three known analogs, 3,7-dihydroxy-1-methoxyxanthone (2), 1,7-dihydroxy-5,6-dimethoxyxanthone (3), and 1,5-dihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxyxanthone (4), were isolated from the whole plant of Hypericum elodeoides Choisy. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were unambiguously elucidated by HR-ESI-MS, extensive NMR spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculation of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) method. Moreover, the anti-neuroinflammation activities of isolated compounds were evaluated.

Introduction: The knowledge of the mode of action of an antimicrobial is essential for drug development and helps to fight against bacterial resistance. Thus, it is crucial to use analytical techniques to study the mechanism of action of substances that have potential to act as antibacterial agents OBJECTIVE: To use NMR-based metabolomics combined with chemometrics and molecular docking to identify the metabolic responses of Staphylococcus aureus following exposure to commercial antibiotics and some synthesized ω-aminoalkoxylxanthones.
Methods: Intracellular metabolites of S.

It is known that 1,7-dihydroxy-3,4-dimethoxyxanthone (XAN), derived from Securidaca inappendiculata Hassk., exhibits anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities and inhibits M1 polarization of macrophages. However, its ability to alleviate inflammation induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines in THP-1 cells and its anti-inflammatory mechanisms remain unclear.

Myocarditis is a major cause of heart failure and death, particularly in young individuals. Current treatments are mainly symptomatic, but emerging therapies focus on targeting inflammation and fibrosis pathways. Natural bioactive compounds like flavonoids and phenolic acids show promising anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
