Crude extract from the pericarp of the mangosteen (mangosteen extract [ME]) has exhibited several medicinal properties in both animal models and human cell lines. Interestingly, the cytotoxic activities were always observed in nonpolar fraction of the extract whereas the potent antioxidant was often found in polar fraction. Although it has been demonstrated that the polar fraction of ME exhibit...

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana Linn.) is an ultra-tropical tree characterized by its unique dark purple fruits with white flesh. The xanthone-rich purple pericarp tissue contains valuable compounds with medicinal properties. Following previously reported genome sequencing of a common variety of mangosteen [1], we performed another whole genome sequencing of a commercially popular variety of th...

The present study was performed to observe histopathological changes in tissues of Bithynia siamensis goniomphalos (Gastropoda, Bithyniidae) incubated in crude extract solutions of camellia (Camellia oleifera) seed and mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) pericarp, and furthermore to estimate the molluscicidal effects of 2 plant substances. Substantial numbers of bithyniid snails were incubated in ...

In light of the eco-friendliness and antimicrobial property mangosteen pericarp (MP), this research investigates antibacterial activity biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) nonwoven fabric coated with MP extract. experiment, extract concentrations were varied between 0 (uncoated), 0.3, 0.5, 1, 3, 5 wt%, experimental bacteria strains Escherichia coli Staphylococcu...

The aim of this research is to study the synergistic effect on nitric oxide scavenging activity mangosteen pericarp and stingless bee (Tetragonula laviceps) propolis extracts their phytochemical constituents. were extracted by reflux method with ethanol. TPC TFC extract 123.73±2.80 mg GAE/g 70.65±11.21 QE/g extract, respectively, was 387.93±15.10 87.00±5.06 respectively. ESI-LC-MS data displaye...

The commercially available herbal products as the form of extract were usually mixtures containing various compounds. In spite of the purported efficacy in each active constituent, the coexisting constituents in the herbal extract might interfere with the efficacy and safety and affect the pharmacokinetic properties of active constituents. To compare for the pharmacokinetic properties of α-mang...
