mangiferin

Mangiferin (Hedysarid) is used for antidiabetes. Extracted from Mangifera indica L.

Neomangiferin (Mangiferin 7-glucoside) has beneficial effects on high fat diet-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in rats. Neomangiferin and mangiferin inhibit tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, a biochemical marker of osteoclast function and bone resorption.

Isomangiferin has an antiviral effect, may due to their capability of inhibiting virus replication within cells. It also has antioxidant and radical-scavenging activities.

Homomangiferin has important medicinal properties and is widely used to relieve many symptoms, for example coughing and asthma.Homomangiferin shows antitumoural effects against MDA-MB-231 cells.

7-O-MethylMangiferin is an xanthone isolated from the rhizomes of Iris nigricans.

1. Swertianolin (Bellidifolin-8-O-Glucoside), mangiferin, rhodenthoside A-C, isoorientin, isovitexin, and amarogentin would serve as potential chemotaxonomic markers to differentiate Gentianaceae species. 2. Swertianolin and swertiamarin show significant hepatoprotective effect in the liver damage model induced by alpha-naphthylisot hiocyanate. 3. Swertianolin shows anti-acetylcholinesterase activity effects. 4. Swertianolin shows that it can scavenge superoxide and hydroxyl radicals with the studying method of the autoxidation of Pyrogallol and afenton.

Gentisein (NSC-329491), a primary metabolite of Mangiferin, exhibits significant inhibition of serotonin uptake, demonstrating potency with an IC50 value of 4.7 µM[1][2].
