Preventative medicine: The natural products guttiferone G and hyperforin (1) as well the synthetic aristoforin (2) are inhibitors of human SIRT1 SIRT2. Guttiferone 2 less toxic but stronger cell proliferation than 1. These compounds may be valuable tools for epigenetics elucidation biological role sirtuins in processes such cancer, ageing, neurodegenerative diseases, adipositas, diabetes.

A new nemoralisin-type diterpenoid, nemoralisin O (1), along with ten previously identified compounds, was obtained from Aglaia lawii bark. Structural characterisation performed using various spectroscopic techniques, a focus on 1D and 2D NMR, HR-ESI-MS analysis. The absolute stereochemistry of compound 1 established by comparing its experimental ECD spectrum theoretical spectra all eight possible stereoisomers TD-DFT calculations, evaluating compatibility calculated 1H chemical shifts...
A new geranylated coumarin, (E)-4-(1-hydroxypropyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-6-(3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl)-8-(3-methyl-1-oxobutyl)coumarin (named surangin D), was isolated from the bark of Mammea siamensis collected in Vietnam, along with four known coumarins, surangins B and C, theraphins seven xanthones, 1,7-dihydroxyxanthone, 7-hydroxy-1-methoxyxanthone, 1,7-dimethoxyxanthone, 1,7-dimethoxy-6-hydroxyxanthone, 1,6,7-trihydroxyxanthone, 1,3,7-trihydroxyxanthone, 1,7-dihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthone....
Two new geranylated xanthones, 6-O-methylcowanin (4) and oliverixanthone (5), along with five known compounds, cowanin, rubraxanthone, cowaxanthone, cowanol, beta-mangostin, have been isolated from the bark of Garcinia oliveri. For comparison their biological activities, one mono- seven di-O-alkylated alpha-mangostin derivatives were synthesized alpha-mangostin. The structures all compounds assigned by spectroscopic methods (1D 2D NMR MS). Cytotoxicity selected xanthones against MCF-7 DLD-1...
Two new compounds, fuscaxanthones J (1) and K (2), together with eight known xanthones (3 - 10) were isolated from an ethyl acetate extract of the roots Garcinia fusca. Their structures determined using spectroscopic methods, mainly 1D- 2D-NMR. α-Glucosidase inhibitory activity compounds was evaluated fuscaxanthone showed most significant effect IC50 value 8.3 ± 1.8 μm (compared acarbose, = 214.5 2.3 μm).
Four new mexicanolide-type limonoids, swietemicrolides A–D (1–4), together with three known compounds (5–7) were isolated from an ethyl acetate extract of the bark Swietenia microphylla .
Die Naturstoffe Guttiferon G und Hyperforin (1) sowie das synthetische Aristoforin (2) sind Inhibitoren der menschlichen Sirtuine SIRT1 SIRT2. Zudem 2 weniger toxisch stärkere Zellproliferation als 1. Diese Verbindungen können wertvoll für die Epigenetik zur Aufklärung Rolle von Sirtuinen bei Krebs, Alterungsprozessen, neurodegenerativen Erkrankungen, Adipositas oder Diabetes sein.

A new xanthone, calothorexanthone, together with five known compounds, garbogiol, 1,4,8-trihydroxyxanthone, δ-tocotrienol, 1,7-dihydroxyxanthone and globuxanthone, was isolated from a petroleum ether extract of the bark Calophyllum thorelii. Their structures were established on basis spectroscopic methods, mainly one- two-dimensional NMR. Antioxidant activity compounds tested using DPPH free radical scavenging assay some exhibited remarkable effects IC₅₀ 13.63-17.46 µg mL(-1).
