Six new phloroglucinol derivatives, xanchryones I-N (1-6), were isolated from the leaves of Xanthostemon chrysanthus. Compounds 1-6 are unusual phloroglucinol-amino acid hybrids constructed through C2 -N and O-C1 ' bonds forming a peculiar oxazole ring. The structures and absolute configurations of compounds 1-6 were determined by MS, NMR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Moreover, the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities of these compounds were evaluated.
Keywords: Xanthostemon chrysanthus; phloroglucinol derivatives; phloroglucinol-amino acid hybrids.
