Abstract:
Garcinia mangostana L. is a common tropical plant,which is also called mangosteen. Its exocarp is used as a tradi?tional medicine in India,Thailand,Myammar and other Southeast Asian countries. In recent years,systematic studies on the chemi?cal constituents of the plant have shown that G. mangostana contains various xanthone compounds in a large amount. Many studies have shown that these compounds display many pharmacological activities,such as antioxidant,antiproliferative,pro-apoptosis,anti-inflammation and antibacterial activities,which has attracted great attention in the medical community. This paper reviews the main chemical constituents of G. mangostana and their pharmacological effects.
