Eight compounds were isolated from the roots of Garcinia polyantha, and identified. Two of them, the xanthone garciniaxanthone I (1), and the triterpene, named garcinane (2), are reported as new natural products. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic studies. The structure of compound 1 was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Among the remaining six known compounds, three were known xanthones [smeathxanthone A (3), smeathxanthone B (4), and chefouxanthone (5)], one benzophenone [isoxanthochymol (6)], one triterpene [magnificol], and one sterol [beta-sitosterol]. The in vitro antimalarial activity of isoxanthochymol (6) against Plasmodium falciparum shows strong chemosuppression of parasitic growth.

One new depsidone, polyanthadepsidone A (1), together with four known compounds were isolated from the dichloromethane extract of the leaves of Garcinia polyantha. The structures of all compounds were determined by comprehensive analyses of their 1D and 2D NMR and EI mass spectral data. All the isolates exhibited suppressive effect on phagocytosis response upon activation with serum opsonised zymosan in the IC range of 4.

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.

Two xanthones, bangangxanthone A (1) [1,5,8-trihydroxy-6'-methyl-6'-(4-methylpent-3-enyl)- pyrano[2',3':3,4]xanthone] and B (2) [1,4,8-trihydroxy-2-prenylxanthone], along with two known xanthones, 1,5-dihydroxyxanthone, 2-hydroxy-1,7-dimethoxyxanthone and the pentacyclic triterpenoids, friedelin, oleanolic acid and lupeol were isolated from the chloroform extract of the stem bark of Garcinia polyantha. The structures of these compounds were assigned by spectroscopic analysis. Compounds 1-4 showed antioxidant DPPH radical scavenging activities.
