Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The α-mangostin in mangosteen pericarp extract can inhibit M. tuberculosis growth. This study examined the potency of α-mangostin in mangosteen pericarp extract to inhibit 38-kDa and Ag85 protein secretion from M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The samples used in this study were divided into three independent variable groups...

The objective of this study is to determine the tyrosinase inhibition and antibacterial activities against the pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity of the mangosteen pericarp extract. The results showed that the mangosteen pericarp extract inhibited the tyrosinase enzyme at IC50 = 67 ng/ml. Furthermore, the mangosteen pericarp extract also exhibited the antibacterial activities against the pa...

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress in atherosclerosis produces H2O2 and triggers the activation of nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB) and increase of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The formation of vasa vasorum occurs in atherosclerosis. Vasa vasorum angiogenesis is mediated by VEGFR-1 and upregulated by hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). The newly formed vasa vasorum are fragile and immatu...

BACKGROUND New approaches for chemomechanical caries removal require effective materials with antibacterial properties for removal of infected dentin. Apacaries gel is a newly developed material comprised polyphenol from mangosteen extracts and papain mixed in gel preparation. AIM This study evaluated the antibacterial effects of Apacaries gel on Streptococcus mutans in vitro. MATERIALS AND...

Abstract Mangosteen (Garcia mangostana ) consist of 40% flesh and 60% pericarp. pericarp has unpleasant taste bitterness usually disposed as waste. However, mangosteen contains xanthones which are polyphenolic compound that proven high antioxidant activity were found abundantly in This study aims to investigate water extraction optimum operating conditions be applied industry by using RAM (resp...

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) pericarp waste extract was used to synthesize gold and silver nanoparticles by a green strategy. The extract was both a reducing and stabilizing agent during synthesis. Phytochemical screening of the extract was conducted to obtain information regarding the presence/absence of primary and secondary metabolites in the extract. The in vitro antioxidant activity re...

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia that produces a fruit whose pericarp contains a family of tricyclic isoprenylated polyphenols referred to as xanthones. Numerous in vitro studies have shown that these xanthones possess anti-oxidant, anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic activities. Aggressive marketing of such h...

The "Queen of Fruits" mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) produces commercially important fruits with desirable taste of flesh and pericarp rich in xanthones with medicinal properties. To date, only limited knowledge is available on the cytogenetics and genome sequences of a common variety of mangosteen (Abu Bakar et al., 2016 [1]). Here, we report the first single-molecule real-time (SMRT) seq...
