Abstract

Reinvestigation of the plant, Swertia decussata resulted in the isolation of four antioxidant xanthones, which were characterized as 1-hydroxy-3,7,8-trimethoxy, 1,8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy, 1,7-dihydroxy-3,8-dimethoxy and 1,7,8-trihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthones. The structural ambiguity of the first compound was settled by ASIS-NMR and 2D NOESY spectroscopy.
