Phytochemical investigation of the CHCl 3 fraction of Swertia corymbosa resulted in the isolation of a new 3‐allyl‐2,8‐dihydroxy‐1,6‐dimethoxy‐9 H ‐xanthen‐9‐one ( 1 ), along with four known xanthones, gentiacaulein ( 3 ), norswertianin ( 4 ), 1,3,6,8‐tetrahydroxyxanthone ( 5 ), and 1,3‐dihydroxyxanthone ( 6 ). Structure of compound 1 was elucidated with the aid of IR, UV, NMR, and MS data, and chemical transformation via new allyloxy xanthone derivative ( 2 ). Compounds 1 – 6 exhibited various levels of antioxidant and anti‐ α ‐glucosidase activities. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies on 1 – 6 indicated that these compounds could interact with calf thymus DNA (CT‐DNA) through intercalation and with bovine serum albumin (BSA) in a static quenching process. Compound 1 was found to be significantly cytotoxic against human cancer cell lines HeLa, HCT116, and AGS, and weakly active against normal NIH 3T3 cell line.
