Antimycobacterial activity of prenylated xanthones from the fruits of Garcinia mangostana.

چکیده
Prenylated xanthones, isolated from the fruit hulls and the edible arils and seeds of Garcinia mangostana, were tested for their antituberculosis potential. Alpha- and beta-mangostins and garcinone B exhibited strong inhibitory effect against Mycobacterium tuberculosis with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 6.25 microg/ml. Tri- and tetra-oxygenated xanthones with di-C5 units or with a C5 and a modified C5 groups are essential for high activities. Substitution in the A and C rings has been shown to modify the bioactivity of the compounds.

Xanthones from the Pericarp of Garcinia mangostana.
Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) is one of the most popular tropical fruits (called the "Queen of Fruits"), and is a rich source of oxygenated and prenylated xanthone derivatives. In the present work, phytochemical investigation has resulted in one new prenylated xanthone and 13 known xanthones isolated from the pericarp of G. mangostana. Their structures were established by spectroscopic da...

The escalation of infections caused by M. tuberculosis, particularly those caused by MDR-TB strains is of considerable global concern. Since no new antituberculosis drugs have become available during the last forty years, there is obvious need for new and effective anti-tubercular drugs. There are reports of phytochemical analysis of essential oils, glycolipids, sesquiterpenoids, triterpenoids ...
متن کاملSMRT sequencing data for Garcinia mangostana L. variety Mesta
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...
متن کاملChemistry of α-mangostin. Studies on the semisynthesis of minor xanthones from Garcinia mangostana.
α-Mangostin is the major prenylated xanthone from Garcinia mangostana and it has been used also in recent times as starting material for the semisynthetic preparation of various biologically active derivatives. Its structure is characterised by the presence of few functional groups amenable to chemical manipulations, but present in the molecule in multiple instances (three phenolic hydroxyl gro...
