    Product Description

    Mangiferin is a xanthone glucoside that has been found in M. indica with diverse biological activities.1 It increases survival of HIV-1-infected MT-2 human leukemia cells (EC50 = 3.59 μg/ml).2 In an ascitic fibrosarcoma (AFS) mouse xenograft model, mangiferin (10 μg/g) inhibits tumor growth by 47% at 15 days post inoculation and increases lifespan by 38% relative to control. Mangiferin (50 mg/kg, p.o.) reduces the production of hydrogen peroxide induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA; Item No. 10008014) in mouse peritoneal macrophages by 40% ex vivo.3 It also decreases TPA-induced DNA fragmentation in mouse liver and brain by 35 and 22%, respectively. Mangiferin (0.25-2 mg/kg, i.p.) dose-dependently increases survival of γ-irradiated mice.4 Mangiferin (10 mg/kg, i.p.) reduces fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in a rat model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (Item No. 13104) by 50, 57, 38.5, and 70%, respectively.1
