Description

General description

α-Mangostin (α-MG) is the most abundant phytochemical derived from the pericarp of Garcinia mangostana L..[1] It is a tetraoxygenated diprenylated xanthone.[2] The chemical structure of α-MG molecule is 1,3,6-trihydroxy-7-methoxy-2,8-bis(3-methyl-2-butenyl)- 9H-xanthen-9-one.[2]

Application

α-Mangostin has been used:

• to study its protective effect against oxidative stress mediated-retinal cell death[3]
• to study its role as an antigenotoxic agent in DNA protection against oxidative damage
• to understand its anti-bacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis RP62A[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

α-Mangostin displays various pharmacological properties both in in vitro and in vivo studies. These include antimicrobial, anticarcinogenic, antidiabetic, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective[1] and anti-inflammatory properties.[5]

Xanthone derivative isolated from mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana). Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
