| Summary: | Extensive studies on the plants, Calophyllum inophyllum and Cratoxylum glaucum have
resulted in the isolation of ten compounds. All these compounds were isolated by means
of chromatographic methods and their structures derived on the basis of spectroscopic
evidence, mainly 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Chemical investigations on the root bark extracts of Calophyllum inophyllum has yielded
two new xanthones, inophyllin A and inophyllin B, three known xanthones,
brasilixanthone B, tovopyrifolin C, caloxanthone B, one triterpene, friedelin and one
triterpenoid, -sitosterol. Cratoxylum glaucum afforded two triterpenes, friedelin and
stigmasterol, two known anthraquinones, 1,8-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-6-methylanthraquinone
and vismiaquinone and a known xanthone, dimethylmangostin.
Cytotoxic assay was performed using CEM-SS Cell Line. All the crude extracts of
Calophyllum inophyllum and Cratoxylum glaucum showed no activity.
Antimicrobial assay was carried out towards four pathogenic bacteria, Methicillin
Resistant Staphylococcus aures, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus typhimurium
and Bacillus subtilis. Most of the crude extracts tested against these microbes gave no
activity.
Larvicidal test was carried out towards the larvae of Aedes aegypti. The larvae were not
susceptible to all of the crude extracts and pure compounds of Calophyllum inophyllum
and Cratoxylum glaucum
