PubMed Results For Xanthones As They Relate To Breast Cancer

Thanks to Karen Veverka for forwarding the following information:

Hi Team,
Below is the latest post (June 18, 2008)from PubMed regarding the xanthones found in the PERICARP of the Mangosteen fruit (which is the MAIN INGREDIENT in our juice) as it relates to breast cancer.
Remember, others may use the "juice" of the "fruit" and list it as a last ingredient but WE USE THE WHOLE FRUIT PUREE (which means the PERICARP) as our FIRST ingredient.
VERY PROMISING!
Share it!

Xanthones from the Botanical Dietary Supplement Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) with Aromatase Inhibitory Activity.

kinghorn.4@osu.edu.

Twelve xanthone constituents of the botanical dietary supplement mangosteen (the pericarp of Garcinia mangostana) were screened using a noncellular, enzyme-based microsomal aromatase inhibition assay. Of these compounds, garcinone D ( 3), garcinone E ( 5), alpha-mangostin ( 8), and gamma-mangostin ( 9) exhibited dose-dependent inhibitory activity. In a follow-up cell-based assay using SK-BR-3 breast cancer cells that express high levels of aromatase, the most potent of these four xanthones was gamma-mangostin ( 9). Because xanthones may be consumed in substantial amounts from commercially available mangosteen products, the consequences of frequent intake of mangosteen botanical dietary supplements require further investigation to determine their possible role in breast cancer chemoprevention.
