Eight new isoprenylated xanthones, cudratricusxanthones A-H (1-8), were isolated from the roots of Cudrania tricuspidata, together with ten known compounds, cudraxanthones H (9) and M (10), xanthone V(1a) (11), toxyloxanthone C (12), macluraxanthone B (13), 1-hydroxy-3, 6, 7-trimethoxyxanthone (14), cycloartocarpesin (15), artocarpesin (16), cudraflavone B (17), and kaempferol (18). Their structures were characterized by spectroscopic methods. Xanthones 5, 7, 10, and 12 showed inhibitory effects on four kinds of human digestive apparatus tumor cell lines (HCT-116, SMMC-7721, SGC-7901, and BGC-823) with IC(50) values of 1.6-11.8 microg/mL. Xanthones 2, 4, and 11 displayed significant cytotoxicity against HCT-116, SMMC-7721, and SGC-7901 (IC(50)=1.3-9.8 microg/mL). Flavonoids 15-17 were almost inactive.

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is well-known for its nutritional value and health benefits. Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among females worldwide. Here we show that the prenylated xanthones, α-mangostin, γ-mangostin, 9-hydroxycalabaxanthone (9-HCX), and garcinone E from the mangosteen pericarp exhibit cytotoxicity against a panel of human cancer cell lines including lung adenocarcinoma (A549), cervical carcinoma (HeLa), prostatic carcinoma (DU 145), pancreatic carcinoma (MIA PaCa-2), hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep G2), bladder urothelial cancer (5637), as well as the triple-negative breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231.

is one of the most important genera of the Clusiaceae family, comprising up to 400 species. This review describes the identification of twenty-two flavonoids from species, which includes five flavonols ( and ), six flavones (), one catechin (), one flavanone (), and nine biflavonoids (). O- and C-glycosylation are frequently observed amongst these flavonoids.

A major limitation of current prostate cancer pharmacotherapy approaches is the inability of these compounds to target androgen receptor variants or mutants that develop during prostate cancer progression. The demand for novel therapeutics to prevent, slow, and treat prostate cancer is significant because FDA approved anti-androgens are associated with adverse events and can eventually drive drug-resistant prostate cancer. This study evaluated α-mangostin for its novel ability to degrade the androgen receptor and androgen receptor variants.
