Further prenylated anthranoids from Harungana madagascariensis.

Abstract Ten undescribed anthranoids, including three anthraquinone acetals as racemic mixtures, (±)-kenganthranol G-I, and seven prenylated anthranols, (±)-kenganthranol J-M and harunganol G-I, together with thirteen known compounds, were isolated from the stem bark of Harungana madagascariensis. The structures of (±)-kenganthranol G and (±)-kenganthranol J were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. (±)-Kenganthranol G was separated into (+)-kenganthranol G and (−)-kenganthranol G by chiral HPLC and their absolute configurations were established by electronic circular dichroism. (±)-Kenganthranol L displayed α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 4.4 μM.
