The wide range of the more active (+)-inophyllums B and P
(0–39.9mgkg−1 for B, 0–21.8mgkg−1 for P) show the chemodiversity
of C. inophyllum in French Polynesia. These chemotypes
are not closely correlated to islands, although Tuamotu and
Austral archipelagos contained trees with high amount of
the interesting HIV-1 active compounds. Since (+)-inophyllum
B, in the inophyllum series, is the most promising candidates
for anti-HIV-1 drug among Calophyllum coumarins
[1], it should be necessary to focus investigations on these
Tuamotu and Austral archipelago trees
