Chemical investigation of the fruits of Garcinia schomburgkiana collected in Vietnam led to the isolation of eight new schomburgkianones, A-H (1-8), four known (9-12) polyprenylated benzoylphloroglucinols, and four known biflavonoids. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical means. The absolute configuration at C-40 of 1 and 2 was determined by (1)H NMR analyses of their MPA esters. The configuration of the bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane core of the polyprenylated benzoylphloroglucinols was assigned by comparison of their experimental ECD spectra with those of related compounds. The polyprenylated benzoylphloroglucinols exhibited inhibitory activities against mammalian DNA polymerases α and λ, with IC50 values ranging from 5.0 to 8.8 μM. Compounds 1, 2, 4, 5, and 9-11 showed cytotoxic effects against HeLa human cervical cancer cells with median lethal dose values lower than 10 μM.

Polyprenylated benzoylphloroglucinols (PPBPs) make up a group of complex natural products with anticancer potentials that are mainly distributed in plants. As part of our intensive exploration on new bioactive substances from this genus, we report two undescribed PPBPs, picrorhizones I () and J (), along with four known analogues (-) from the stem bark of and . The new structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, particularly 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS, whereas the absolute configurations were determined by a combination of ECD and NMR calculations coupled with a DP4+ probability analysis.

Ten undescribed polyprenylated benzoylphloroglucinol derivatives named garcowacinols A‒J (1-10) and four known analogues (11-14) were isolated from the twigs of Garcinia cowa. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic data analysis (1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS), and their absolute configurations were established based on NOESY and ECD data. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against five types of human cancer cells (KB, HeLa S3, MCF-7, Hep G2, and HT-29) as well as Vero cells by MTT colorimetric assay.

α-Glucosidase plays a role in hydrolyzing complex carbohydrates into glucose, which is easily absorbed, causing postprandial hyperglycemia. Inhibition of α-glucosidase is therefore an ideal approach to preventing this condition. A novel polyprenylated benzoylphloroglucinol, which we named schomburgkianone I (), was isolated from the fruit of , along with an already-reported compound, guttiferone K ().

Eight new polyprenylated benzoylphloroglucinol derivatives (-) and four known analogues (-) were isolated from the stem bark of . Their structures were determined by spectroscopic data analysis (1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS), and the absolute configurations were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction combined with experimental and calculated ECD data. The new metabolites represent rare examples of benzoylphloroglucinols bearing a cyclobutyl-containing side chain.
