Abstract

The Garcinia mangostana Linn, a medicinal plant commonly used in Southeast Asia. The crude extract and isolated metabolites were used to evaluate its potential anti-cancer activity which was compared to methotrexate (MTX) in cervical cancer cell line. The present study involved in using crude mangosteen (CM), γ-mangostin (γ-M), isopropyl mangostin (IPM) and Di-O-methyl mangostin (DMM) against the standard anti-neoplastic drug MTX. Cell viability and cytotoxicity by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were assessed. Analysis of DNA fragmentation and clonogenic assay further supports the anti-cancer activity of the drugs in HeLa cells. The IC50 value for CM, γ-M, DMM, IPM and MTX were 13.4µg, 34.84µM, 15.57µM 5.3µM and 16.05µM respectively observed in the present study. This study suggests that the G. mangostana and its derivatives have potential anti-cancer activity an in vitro study in cervical cancer.
