Bioactivity-guided separation of the methanol extract of Calophyllum scriblitifolium bark led to the isolation of five new pyranocoumarins, caloforines A-E (1-5) and two new coumarins, caloforines F and G (6 and 7). Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, and their absolute configurations were investigated by a combination of CD spectroscopy and DFT calculation. Caloforines A-F (1-6) showed moderate antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain.

Previously, we isolated 2,3,15-calofolic acids (CAs) from bark, which showed vasorelaxant activity on phenylephrine (PE)-precontracted rat aortic rings. Although the effect was suggested to be induced via an extracellular Ca-independent manner and mainly acts on vascular smooth muscle, the exact mechanism of action of CAs remained unclear. Thus, this study investigated the detailed mechanism of calofolic acid-A (CA-A) induced vasorelaxation in an aortic ring specimen using rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

Vasorelaxation activity guided separation of the methanol extract of Calophyllum scriblitifolium bark led to the isolation of 6 chromanones (calofolic acids A-F, 1-6). Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, and their absolute configurations were investigated by a combination of CD spectroscopy and DFT calculation. All isolated chromanones showed dose-dependent vasorelaxation activity on isolated rat aorta.
