We investigated the antiproliferative effects of four structurally similar prenylated xanthones, alpha-mangostin, beta-mangostin, gamma-mangostin, and methoxy-p-mangostin, in human colon cancer DLD-1 cells. These xanthones differ in the number of hydroxyl and methoxy groups. Except for methoxy-beta-mangostin, the other three xanthones strongly inhibited cell growth at 20 mu M and their antitumor efficacy was correlated with the number of hydroxyl groups. Hoechst 33342 nuclear staining and nucleosomal DNA-gel electrophoresis revealed that the antiproliferative effects of alpha- and gamma-mangostin, but not that of beta-mangostin, were associated with apoptosis. It was also shown that their antiproliferative effects were associated with cell-cycle arrest by affecting the expression of cyclins, cdc2, and p27; G1 arrest was by alpha-mangostin and beta-mangostin, and S arrest by gamma-mangostin. These findings provide a relevant basis for the development of xanthones as an agent for cancer prevention and combination therapy with anti-cancer drugs. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
