Five new prenylated acetophenones, melicoptelins A-E (1-5), along with one known congener (6) were isolated from the roots of Melicope ptelefolia. Among them, compounds 2a/2b, 3a/3b, and 4a/4b were obtained as inseparable interconverting mixtures of keto and enol tautomers. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic methods, including 1D, 2D NMR and HRESIMS. Compouds 2a/2b, 4a/4b and 5 exhibit protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activity with IC values of 34.4, 55.2 and 66.6 μM, respectively.
