Description

β-Mangostin is a significant prenylated xanthone derivative, a key bioactive compound found in the mangosteen fruit (*Garcinia mangostana* L.). This compound matters for its potent and well-documented biological activities, making it a valuable reference standard and research chemical. Industries and researchers involved in pharmaceutical development, nutraceutical formulation, and advanced biochemical research require high-purity β-Mangostin for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for quality control and assay development in drug manufacturing and herbal medicine.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Research: Serves as a key marker compound for standardizing mangosteen-based extracts and studying bioavailability.
• Academic & Biomedical Research: Employed in in vitro and in vivo studies to investigate mechanisms of action related to inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell proliferation.
• Cosmeceutical Development: Incorporated into research for advanced skincare formulations targeting anti-aging and anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Analytical Chemistry: Essential for method development and validation in HPLC, LC-MS, and other analytical techniques for xanthone quantification.
