Five new prenylated benzoylphloroglucinol derivatives, garciesculentones A-E (1-5), a new xanthone, garciesculenxanthone A (6), and 15 known compounds were isolated from the petroleum ether extract and the EtOAc-soluble fraction of a 80% (v/v) EtOH extract of Garcinia esculenta. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopic analysis and mass spectrometry. Experimental and calculated ECD and a convenient modified Mosher's method were used to determine the absolute configurations. The cytotoxicity of these compounds were evaluated by MTT assay against three human cancer cell lines (HepG2, MCF-7, and MDA-MB-231) and against normal hepatic cells (HL-7702). In addition, these isolates were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on interferon-γ plus lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in RAW264.7 cells.

Article Synopsis
- Mitophagy is a specific process of autophagy that removes damaged mitochondria and is significant for conditions like cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disorders.
- This study identified garciesculenxanthone B (GeB), a new compound, that promotes mitophagy by stabilizing PINK1 and facilitating Parkin's movement to damaged mitochondria, leading to the degradation of certain mitochondrial proteins.
- In mouse experiments, GeB showed potential in reducing brain injury caused by ischemia-reperfusion, indicating its role in enhancing the PINK1-Parkin-mediated mitophagy pathway for neuroprotection.

One new xanthone, (±) garciesculenxanthone C (), two new biphenyls, garciesculenbiphenyls A () and B (), together with two known compounds, doitungbiphenyl B () and morusignin D (), were isolated from . The structures of new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, and the absolute configuration of (±) garciesculenxanthone C () was assigned by a modified Mosher's method. All isolates were evaluated for their antistaphylococcal activities against Newman, USA300 LAC, USA400 MW2, and Mu50 strains.

Metastasis causes a large number of deaths among esophageal cancer patients. The activation of RAF family proteins elevates tumor metastasis and proliferation. In screen targeting the RAF protein, we identified that Griffipavixanthone (GPX), a dimeric xanthone isolated from Garcinia esculenta, is a B-RAF and C-RAF inhibitor against esophageal cancer cells.
