Abstract

Two new chromanols, named garcinoic acid and garcinal, were isolated together with a known chromanol, δ-tocotrienol and three known biflavonoids, garcinianin, GB-1 and GB-2, from the seeds of Garcinia kola Heckel (Guttiferae) collected in Nigeria and their structures were characterized on the basis of the spectroscopic and chemical evidence. Garcinoic acid, garcinal and δ-tocotrienol showed about 1.5 times stronger antioxidation activity than that of dl-α-tocopherol.
