“…Xanthones in HR cultures could be distinguished in five groups: (i) compounds whose quantity increased (xanthones X6, X7, X10, X12, X13, X14, X15, X17, X19, X24, X28), (ii) compounds whose quantity decreased (xanthone X11), (iii) compounds whose quantity was not significantly modified (xanthones X1, X9, X18, X22), (iv) , thus proving that this compound loses the characteristics of C-hexosyl compounds [26]. Compounds X4, X6, and X11 showed UV spectral characteristics of the 1,3,5,6 oxygenated xanthones, with band IV reduced to shoulder while most of the other identified xanthones had UV spectra similar to mangiferin typical of the 1,3,6,7 oxygenation pattern with a very well-defined band IV [30]. Compounds X6 and X7 were identified as 1,3,5,6-tetrahydroxyxanthone and 1,3,6,7-tetrahydroxyxanthone aglycones, respectively (single intense molecular ion [M-H] -at m/z 259).…”
