Two new xanthones, angustins A and B (1 and 2), were isolated from the aerial parts of Swertia angustifolia together with six known compounds (3-8). The structures of these two xanthones were elucidated by extensive analysis of the spectroscopic data. In addition, compounds 3 and 6-8 were isolated from this plant for the first time.

Background: Millions of people are killed by viral hepatitis every year in the world, whereas many relevant medicines are too expensive to purchase. , a medicinal plant for hepatitis in the system of traditional Chinese medicine, has been vanishing gradually because of overexploitation.
Objective: To find substitutes of and reduce the cost of purchasing drugs for hepatitis patients, the similarity of phytochemical constituents between and other three species was compared.

Background: The genus Swertia is reported to contain potent bitter compounds like iridoids, xanthones and c-glucoflavones that are known to heal many human disorders. In contrast to high ethnomedicinally valued Swertia chirayita, its other species have not been studied extensively, in spite of their common use in traditional medicinal system in Nepalese communities. So, the present study attempts to investigate the content of total polyphenols, flavonoids, antioxidant activity and estimate the rough content of amarogentin, swertiamarin and mangiferin from different species of Swertia from Nepalese Himalayas.
