Function
-
Antioxidant: Mangostin is the inhibitor of oxidation of LDL, which have
major role in cardio-vascular and related chronic diseases.
-
Anti-allergies and inflammations:
γ- mangostin was identified to inhibit COX, as their inhibition
acutely reduces inflammations, pains and fevers.
-
Antivirus and anti-bacteria: the polysaccharides in the extract form can
stimulate phagocytic cells to kill intracellular bacteria.
Anticancer: Mangostin has been revealed to inhibit topoisomerase, which is
essential for cell division in cancer cells, also could selectively induce
cell apoptosis and inhibit cell division
