Abstract
From the timber extractives of Mesua ferrea L. (form M. salicina Pl. and Tr.) nine known xanthones (2-hydroxy-, 2-methoxy-, 4-hydroxy-, 1,5-dihydroxy-, 1,7-dihydroxy-, 1-hydroxy-5-methoxy-, 1-hydroxy-7-methoxy, 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-, and 1,5,6-trihydroxy-) and two new xanthones (1,3,6-trihydroxy-7,8-dimethoxy- and 3,6-dihydroxy-1,7,8-trimethoxy-) have been isolated and characterised. Taxonomic and biogenetic correlations are discussed.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
