Structural and mechanistic analysis of semisynthetic α-mangostin derivatives with anticancer activity via topoisomerase II inhibition.
Eleven novel alkyl/arylalkyl substituted α-mangostin derivatives (M2-M12) were synthesized from isolated α-mangostin (M1) from the pericarp of Garcinia mangostana L. extract. Among all the compounds, M10 exhibited the most potent antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 cells, with an IC₅₀ of 8.39 ± 0.07 μM, comparable...
