Abstract
Two new yellow pigments, mesuaxanthone A and mesuaxanthone B, and the known euxanthone have been isolated from the heartwood extracts of Mesua ferrea L. Evidence is presented to show that mesuaxanthone A is 1,5-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-xanthone and mesuaxanthone B is 1,5,6-trihydroxyxanthone. Mesuaxanthone A has been synthesized.
