Twelve new xanthones (1−12), a pair of new natural products (13 and 14), and 18 known related compounds were isolated from the resin of Garcinia hanburyi. The structures of 1−14 were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analyses. A cytotoxic assay of the isolated compounds revealed that, with the exception of 2, these compounds were active against the HeLa tumor cell line.
