Abstract

From an EtOAc-soluble fraction of the stem barks of Swintonia floribunda (Anacardiaceae), decumbic anhydride (1) and four known compounds 25 were isolated. Their chemical structures were elucidated based on the spectroscopic data interpretation. The GIAO-DFT calculation of 13C NMR chemical shifts was carried out to clarify the structure of 1. The absolute configuration of 1 was assigned based on the Cotton effects in its ECD spectrum. Compound 1 showed potent tyrosinase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 52.2 μM.
