Macluraxanthone is a naturally occurring organic compound with the formula C23H22O6.[1] Belonging to the xanthone family,[2] it is a trihydroxylated xanthone characterized by the presence of a pyran ring and a prenyl chain.[3]

Its structure features a catechol moiety,[2] a xanthene core, and a chromene ring.[4] Acetylation of macluraxanthone yields a triacetate derivative with the formula C29H28O9. X-ray crystallography of a synthesized derivative (Di-p-bromobenzenesulfonyl-macluraxanthone) reveals a planar xanthene ring system and a screw boat conformation in the chromene ring.[4] Macluraxanthone has demonstrated antimalarial and larvicidal activity,[2] including effects against Plasmodium falciparum and vector mosquito larvae.[5] Additional studies have reported antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis.[4]
