Two new polyprenylated xanthone epimers were isolated from gamboges of Garcinia hanburyi , and identified by detailed spectroscopic analysis as 30‐hydroxygambogic acid ( 2a ) and its (2 S )‐epimer 30‐hydroxyepigambogic acid ( 2b ). Both compounds exhibited significant cytotoxicities against the human leukemia K562/S and the corresponding doxorubicin‐resistant K562/R cell lines ( Table 2 ).
