Pharmaceutical, cosmetic, nutraceutical and dietary compositions derived from
Garcinia mangostana
are rich in γ-mangostin and other demethylated xanthones. These compositions exhibit potent antioxidative activity and reduce inflammation. These compositions may be used in a method of treating TNF-α, and aP2 mediated disorders. The compositions are prepared by subjecting a hydroalcoholic extract of fruit pericarp (fruit hull) of
Garcinia mangostana
, wherein said hydroalcoholic extract comprises predominantly α-mangostin, to demethylation in the presence of a Lewis acid, an organic base and a catalyst.
Activation of phenolic oxygen atom using polyphosphoric acid: Synthesis of carbonyl-containing dihydrobenzofurans/dihydrobenzopyrans
Abstract Carbonyl-containing dihydrobenzofurans/dihydrobenzopyrans were prepared from carbonyl-containing ortho-allyl/prenylphenols by activation of phenolic oxygen atom usingpolyphosphoricacid (PPA). Various substrates were investigated, and the corresponding dihydrobenzofurans/dihydrobenzopyrans were obtained in good to excellent yields.
