isomangostin/neoplasms

We found that the ethanol extract of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) fruit rind had a strong inhibitory effect on mammalian DNA polymerase (pol) activity and isolated α-mangostin as a potent pol inhibitor from the extract. In this study, the inhibitory activities against mammalian pols by

MutT homologue 1 (MTH1) protects the nucleotide pool from oxidative stress by hydrolyzing oxidized nucleoside triphosphates and prevents their incorporation into DNA. Cancer cells are dependent on the MTH1 activity for survival due to the high-level of reactive oxygen species in cancer cells;

A new prenylxanthone, garcimangostanol (1), was isolated from the EtOAc-soluble partition of the ethanol extract of the pericarp of Garcinia mangostana L., along with three known compounds, namely 8-deoxygartanin (2), 1-isomangostin (3), and garcinone C (4). The structure of compound 1 was

Uncontrolled regulation of cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) has negative implications in many cancers and malignancies and has recently led to the approval of select CDK inhibitors. Herein we present data reporting that xanthones, a class of compounds isolated from the purple mangosteen (Garcinia
