Abstract:
Mangiferin also called Chinonin or mango, is mainly extracted from the Anacardiaceae and Gentianaceae plants. As polyphenol compounds, Mangiferin shows a strong antioxidant activity and a variety of pharmacological effects. In recent years, laboratory study has identified a variety of pharmacological effects associated with Mangiferin including preventing diabetes and its complications, regulating lipid metabolism abnormalities, antitumor, cardiovascular protection,anti hyperuricemia, neuro-protection, anti oxidation, anti-inflammation, antipyresis and analgesia, anti-bacteria and antivirus, antiradiation, liver pro-tection, promoting skeletal growth, anti allergy and immune reg-ulation,etc. In this paper, the research progress of pharmacolog-ical effects of Mangiferin is reviewed, analyzed and summarized in order to provide reference for further research and develop-ment.
