| Summary: | Mangosteen fruit was widely used as medical purpose such as medicine to treat
abdominal pain, diarrhea and infected wound. This was due to the presences of active
compounds such as xanthones. Hence, root barks of Garcinia mangostana was
chosen for further analysis. Detailed study on the cold extraction of ethyl acetate
extract from root barks of Garcinia mangostana have resulted on the isolation of two
phenolic compound, p-mangostin (15) and tovopyrifolin C (46). The structure of
these compounds were identified and elucidated by using spectroscopy methods such
as 1H NMR, 13CNMR, infrared (IR), ElMS, COSY, HMQC and HMBC
