Prenylated xanthones, isolated from the fruit hulls and the edible arils and seeds of Garcinia mangostana, were tested for their antituberculosis potential. alpha- and beta-Mangostins and garcinone B exhibited strong inhibitory effect against Mycobacterium tuberculosis with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 6.25 mug/ml. Tri- and tetra-oxygenated xanthones with di-C-5 units or with a C-5 and a modified C-5 groups are essential for high activities. Substitution in the A and C rings has been shown to modify the bioactivity of the compounds.
