Xanthone from Garcinia eugenifolia (Clusiaceae) [PDF]

2010 International Conference on Science and Social Research (CSSR 2010), 2010
Studies on the twigs of Garcinia eugenifolia have led to the isolation of one xanthone 5,9-dihydroxy-8-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-7-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)pyrano[3,2-b]xanthen-6(2H)-one (1) and one triterpenoid, sitosterol (2). Meanwhile, studies on the leaves of Garcinia eugenifolia provided another triterpenoid, friedelin (3).

Phylogenetics of Clusia sect. Criuva (Clusiaceae) unveils a new species, reinstates an old name and clarifies sectional circumscription

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Clusia sect. Criuva has long been a taxonomic catch‐all, particularly in the final decades of the 20th century, when misapplications conflated eastern Brazilian taxa with species from the Guiana Shield. We combine herbarium‐based genome skimming, targeted fieldwork, and critical examination of historical literature and types to reassess ...

Enrichment Probe Sets Combining Universal and Lineage‐Specific Targets Help Resolve Recalcitrant Lineages

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The combination of target capture sequencing (TCS) with low‐coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS), an approach known as Hyb‐Seq, has allowed the integration of natural history collections into the genomics revolution, transforming biodiversity research. To implement Hyb‐Seq, a collection of genomic targets is needed to design probes.

Is There Life After Death? The Role of Standing Dead Phorophytes in Supporting Tropical Epiphyte Diversity

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Global increases in tree mortality from climate change and land‐use are altering forest structures, impacting canopy‐dwelling plants like vascular epiphytes, which depend on host trees (phorophytes). When a phorophyte dies standing, it becomes a snag, the local substrate conditions change and microclimatic exposure may increase, particularly ...

Evaluation of in vitro toxicity of common phytochemicals included in weight loss supplements using 1H NMR spectroscopy

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 906-920, May 2026.
We investigated the toxicity of 12 active compounds commonly found in herbal weight loss supplements (WLS) using human liver and colon cell models. Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate was the only compound showing significant toxicity. Metabolic profiling revealed protein degradation, disrupted energy and lipid metabolism suggesting that the inclusion of EGCG ...
