Description: 1,3,5,8-Tetrahydroxyxanthone (Desmethylbellidifolin) is a natural xanthone extracted from Gentianella acuta. 1,3,5,8-Tetrahydroxyxanthone has antispasmodic effect and anti-inflammatory activity. Dimethylbellidifolin shows mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA98, TA97, and TA2637 by the preincubation method; it also exhibits at the dose of 200 ug/disk a significant inhibition of the growth of Staphylococcus aureus.
