Pharmacology )
Mango is an important source of many pharmacologically and medicinally important chemicals
such as mangiferin, mangiferonic acid, hydroxymangiferin, polyphenols and carotenes.It has many different pharmacological activities. Antioxidant, radioprotective, immunomodulatory, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antidiabetic, lipolytic, antibone resorption, monoamine oxidase-inhibiting, antimicrobial and antiparasitic, have been reported for mangiferin. Studies indicate that a wide part of activities, acknowledged to preparation based on Mango bark could be attributed to this C-glucosyl-xanthone (mangiferin). Based on the knowledge of the many properties of mangiferin, phyto-medicines should be adequately standardized regarding this active compound. Mango has been used successfully in Asia for centuries but more clinical trials should be conducted to support its therapeutic use. Mangiferin is a polyphenolic antioxidant with strong antioxidant, anti lipid peroxidation, immunomodulation, cardiotonic, hypotensive, wound healing, antidegenerative and antidiabetic activities. Anti-tumor The significant cytotoxic activities has been demonstrated by the stem bark extract of mango against the breast cancer cell lines MCF 7, MDA-MB-435 and MDA-N, as well as against a colon cancer cell line (SW-620) and a renal cancer cell line (786-0). In vitro, mangiferin dose- and time-dependently inhibited the proliferation of K562 leukemia cells and induced apoptosis in K563 cells line, probably through down-regulation of bcr/abl gene expression. These results suggest that mangiferin has a potential as a naturally-occurring chemo-preventive agent (inhibit, delay, or reverse cancer from developing). Applications Mangifera indica is used to treat ailments such as asthma, cough, diarrhea, dysentery, leucorrhoea, jaundice, pains, malaria, diabetes, infertility, lupus, prostatic hyperplasia, gastric disorders, mouth sores.
