In the presence of K2CO3/Cs2CO3 (molar ratio 10:1), garcinol was subjected to methylation by reaction with iodomethane at room temperature to afford 13,14-dimethoxy garcinol. The methylated garcinol derivative was screened against oral cancer cell line SCC15 for cell proliferation and apoptosis. 13,14-Dimethoxy garcinol showed weaker inhibitory activity on SCC15 cell growth than garcinol, and had little effect on cell cycle and apoptosis of SCC15, whereas garcinol effectively induced cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, the ELISA data showed that the inhibitory effect of garcinol on 5-Lox pathway was more potent than 13,14-dimethoxy garcinol (P<0.05). All these results have confirmed the important role of 13,14-dihydroxy groups for anti-cancer effects of garcinol.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a fast-emerging global burden, is an umbrella term for several liver manifestations that result in excessive accumulation of fat in the liver. NAFLD leads to gut microbiome dysbiosis, loss in gut epithelia, increased gut permeability, etc. The limited availability of registered drugs for NAFLD highlights the urgent need to focus on understanding its pathogenesis and discovering new treatments, including the potential exploration of herbal therapies for managing the condition.

The present study describes the isolation and separation of isogarcinol and garcinol from kokum fruit by flash chromatography using water (containing 0.1 % formic acid) and methanol mixed with acetonitrile (1:1) with UV detection at 254 nm and was characterised by HR-MS and NMR studies. These were further subjected to antimicrobial studies on Staphylococcus aureus FR1722 and Listeria monocytogenes Scott A by agar diffusion assay and broth microdilution method wherein the MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) of garcinol and isogarcinol were, 20 μg/mL and 50 μg/mL for S.

The challenges of multi-pathway immune resistance and systemic toxicity caused by the direct injection of immune checkpoint inhibitors are critical factors that compromise the effectiveness of clinical immune checkpoint blockade therapy. In this context, natural polyphenols have been employed as the primary component to construct a targeted and acid-responsive PD-L1 antibody (αPD-L1) delivery nanoplatform. This platform incorporates garcinol, an inhibitor of the Nuclear Factor Kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway, to regulate pro-tumor immune escape cytokines and regulatory T cells.
