Twelve new xanthones (1-12), a pair of new natural products (13 and 14), and 18 known related compounds were isolated from the resin of Garcinia hanburyi. The structures of 1-14 were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analyses. A cytotoxic assay of the isolated compounds revealed that, with the exception of 2, these compounds were active against the HeLa tumor cell line.

This study investigated the efficacy and safety of a propolis-mangosteen extract complex (PMEC) on gingival health in patients with gingivitis and incipient periodontitis. A multicentered, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 104 subjects receiving either PMEC or placebo for eight weeks was conducted. The primary focus was on the changes in inflammatory biomarkers from gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), with clinical parameters as secondary outcomes.
