Abstract

Extracts from species of the tropical plant genera Symphonia, Garcinia and Clusia (Guttiferae) have yielded a series of new polyisoprenylated benzophenone derivatives named guttiferones A–E (1–5). Structural assignments were based on detailed spectral analysis. These compounds inhibit the cytophatic effects of in vitro HIV infection.
