%X The mangosteen fruit is a popular Southeast Asian fruit consumed for centuries. There have been a variety of xanthones isolated from the fruit, bark, roots and leaves with each having unique chemical and physical properties. Previously, the most abundant xanthone ¦Á-mangostin has been shown to inhibit CDK4. Herein we describe the role of selected xanthones from the mangosteen inhibiting CDK4. The evidence we provide here is that key functional groups are required to inhibit the CDK4 protein to prevent the phosphorylation of downstream targets critical to inhibiting uncontrolled cell cycle progression. To define the properties of xanthones for inhibiting CDK4 we utilized a cell free biochemical assay to identify inhibitors of CDK4. The following xanthones were used for the analysis: ¦Á-mangostin, ¦Â-mangostin, ¦Ã-mangostin, gartanin, 8-desoxygartanin, garcinone C and garcinone D, 9-hydroxycalabaxanthone, and 3-isomangostin These results further substantiate the unique pharmacological properties of individual xanthones and how a mixture of xanthones may be responsible for a multi-targeted effect in cell based pharmacology systems.

All parts of the tree are used medicinally, as the roots, tree bark, and fruit are all consumed and can be commonly prepared as powders, ointments, and teas for treatment of dysentery, eczema, psoriasis, diarrhea, urinary disorders, and for healing wounds and ulcers 1,2. A class of biologically active compounds called xanthones can be found in all different parts of G. mangostana, including the outer pericarp rind, whole fruit, trunk, branches, and leaves 1. Xanthones contain a C6-C1-C6 ring structure, with various isoprene and hydroxyl units branching off the foundational tricyclic structure. These units are thought to be important contributors to xanthones¡¯ biological activities 3. There have been more than 70 different xanthones isolated from G. mangostana3,4,5, with ¦Á-mangostin being the most abundant xanthone found and ¦Á-mangostin, ¦Â-mangostin, ¦Ã-mangostin, gartanin, and 8-desoxygartanin being the most studied xanthones1. These xanthones have been shown to have cytotoxic, anti-tumor and anti-cancer activities and here we will present data showing that xanthones inhibit cyclin dependent kinases (CDK¡¯s)4,5,6,7. Given the potential that xanthones have shown as promising new anti-cancer agents, we have further evaluated
