Two new xanthones, namely caledonixanthones E (1) and F (2), were isolated from the stem bark of Calophyllum caledonicum (Guttiferae). The structural elucidation of these compounds was mainly established on the basis of 1D, 2D NMR and HRMS spectroscopic analysis. Among the isolated compounds, eight
Two new xanthones, caledonixanthone M 1 and caloxanthone L 2, and one new acid, caledonic acid 6 were isolated from the hexane-soluble extract of the stem bark of Calophyllum caledonicum. In the course of this phytochemical study, seven other known compounds - calothwaitesixanthone,
BACKGROUND
Calophyllum inophyllum L. (Calophyllaceae) is an evergreen tree ethno-medically used along the seashores and islands of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, especially in Polynesia. Oil extracted from the seeds is traditionally used topically to treat a wide range of skin injuries from burn,
Two new 2-hydroxy-3-methylbut-3-enyl substituted xanthones, (+/-)-caledol 1 and (+/-)-dicaledol 2 were isolated from a dichloromethane extract of the leaves of Calophyllum caledonicum (Clusiaceae). Compounds 1 and 2 are the first 2-hydroxy-3-methylbut-3-enyl substituted xanthones isolated from
Among the different xanthones previously isolated from the stem bark of Calophyllum caledonicum, caledonixanthone E presented the strongest activity (MIC (80) = 8 microg/mL) in acidic conditions (pH 3) against the human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. Phase-contrast microscopy studies
Extracts from three Calophyllum species endemic to Sri Lanka were tested for antifungal and antioxidant activities. Of them, only the root methanol extract of Calophyllum thwaitesii showed activity, and the active extract on activity guided fractionation yielded four antifungal active and three
During our search for cancer chemopreventing compounds derived from plant sources, we discovered that the natural product GUT-70, isolated from the stem bark of Calophyllum Brasiliense collected in Brazil, significantly inhibited the growth of leukemic cells via the induction of caspase-mediated and
BACKGROUND
Vaginitis is one of the most common problems in clinical medicine and is cited most often during visits to obstetricians and gynecologists. Most of the inflammation cases are caused by candidiasis trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis. Therefore, treatment of vaginal infections must use
The current drugs for Chagas Disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi have limited therapeutic potential and are associated with serious side effects. Natural products can aid to develop new chemotherapeutic agents. Several natural coumarins, especially Mammea A/BA, have shown Calophyllum brasiliense (Calophyllaceae) is a tropical rain forest tree distributed in Central and South America. It is an important source of tetracyclic dipyrano coumarins (Soulatrolide) and Mammea type coumarins. Soulatrolide is a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and displays
Among the eight Calophyllum species found on the American continent, Calophyllum brasiliense is the most widely distributed. Chemical analysis of this species has shown the presence of xanthones with cancer chemopreventive properties and antifungal activity. Recently, three new coumarins with
Recently there was huge increase in using of 'herbal products'. These can be defined as plants, parts of plants or extracts from plants that are used for curing disease. However, Calophyllum species is a tropical plant and it has been used in traditional medicine, the limitation in safety and
The antimalarial activity of 22 xanthones against chloroquino-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum was evaluated. Natural caloxanthone C (1), demethylcalabaxanthone (2), calothwaitesixanthone (3), calozeyloxanthone (4), dombakinaxanthone (5), macluraxanthone (6), and 6-deoxy-gamma-mangostin
Due to the high-cost and limitations of current wound healing treatments, the search for alternative approaches or drugs, particularly from medicinal plants, is of key importance. In this study, we report anti-inflammatory and wound healing activities of the major calophyllolide (CP) compound
Membrane fusion between host cells and HIV-1 is the initial step in HIV-1 infection, and plasma membrane fluidity strongly influences infectivity. In the present study, we demonstrated that GUT-70, a natural product derived from Calophyllum brasiliense, stabilized plasma membrane fluidity, inhibited
