Abstract:
Garcioblons A-F (1-6), six unprecedented polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) formed via intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reactions from monocyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (MPAPs), were isolated from Garcinia oblongifolia. Their structures were elucidated through spectroscopic analysis and quantum calculations. Structurally, compound 1 is the first PPAP characterized by an unprecedented 6/6/5/7/6/5/6/5 octacyclic ring system with a 11-oxatetracyclo[8.5.1.01,12.05,10]hexadecane motif, while 2-4 are its biogenetically related analogues. Compound 5 possesses a caged 6-oxatetracyclo[7.3.1.12,10.02,7]tetradecane new carbon skeleton, while compound 6 features a 4-oxatricyclo[7.4.0.01,5]tridecane structure. Additionally, compound 1 demonstrated notable antitumor activities by inhibiting autophagic flux and stimulating oxidative stress, which collectively resulted in reduced cell proliferation and induced apoptosis.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
