Mangostin is a natural xanthonoid, a type of organic compound isolated from various parts of the mangosteen tree (Garcinia mangostana). It is a yellow crystalline solid with a xanthone core structure.

Source

The rind of partially ripe mangosteen fruit yields mangostin and also the related compound β-mangostin. Researchers conducted the optimization steps in order to increase the yield of α-mangostin extraction from the pericarp of the mangosteen and was able to achieve 9.2 g/kg DW.^[1] The rind of fully ripe fruits also contains the xanthonoids gartanin, 8-disoxygartanin, and normangostin.^{[citation needed]}

Research

Mangostin and a variety of other xanthonoids from mangosteen have been investigated for biological properties including antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities.^[2]

In animal studies, mangostin has been found to be a central nervous system depressant which causes sedation, decreased motor activity, and ptosis.^[3]^{[better source needed]}

Related compounds

A derivative of mangostin, mangostin-3,6-di-O-glucoside, is a central nervous system depressant and causes a rise in blood pressure.^{[citation needed]}
