Morellic acid(CAT: I017072) is a naturally occurring tetraoxygenated anthraquinone derivative isolated from plants of the Garcinia genus, traditionally known for their medicinal and nutritional value. As a bioactive anthraquinone, it exhibits notable antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic properties, making it a valuable compound for pharmacological research. Its unique structural framework contributes to the study of polyketide biosynthesis, structure–activity relationships, and therapeutic potential of anthraquinones. Morellic acid serves as an important natural product standard in natural products chemistry, pharmacognosy, and drug discovery, with particular relevance to exploring anticancer and antimicrobial applications of Garcinia-derived phytochemicals.
