were isolated from the roots of Garcinia atroviridis. Their structures were determined on the basis of the
analysis of spectroscopic data. While compound 2 showed some cytotoxicity against HeLa cells, both
compounds 1 and 2 were only mildly inhibitory toward Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus.
