Chromones and biflavonoids from Garcinia pedunculata and Garcinia nujiangensis and their anti-inflammatory activity.

Plants of the Garcinia genus were rich in structurally diverse and naturally bioactive components, while limited studies have been reported for Garcinia pedunculata Roxb. and G. nujiangensis C. Y. Wu & Y. H. Li. Four previously undescribed compounds including three chromones, garpedunchromones A-C (1-3), and one biflavonoid, nujiangbiflavone A (14), along with fifteen known analogs (4-13, 15-19) were isolated from G. pedunculata and G. nujiangensis. The structures of the isolated compounds were determined based on their HRESIMS data, extensive NMR spectroscopic analyses, and ECD calculations. The chromone derivatives were isolated from Garcinia for the first time. Compound 14 was a rare biflavonoid with C-3─C-6" linkage. The biological evaluation of these isolates against NO production was conducted in the LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells, resulting in the identification of a series of potent NO inhibitors, of which garpedunchromone B (2) was the most active with an IC
