Randomized trial evaluates antioxidant and antibacterial effects of Garcinia mangostana extracts, indicating potential as natural health alternatives.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of Garcinia mangostana pericarp extracts.
Preparation of hydroethanolic and aqueous extracts from Garcinia mangostana pericarp.
Conducted phytochemical screening through colorimetric tests and spectrometric assays.
Assessed antioxidant activity using FRAP and DPPH methods; antibacterial activity using Broth Microdilution technique on four bacterial strains.
Hydroethanolic extraction yielded 2.76%, while aqueous extraction yielded 1%.
Hydroethanol extract had the lowest DPPH IC50 of 15.71 µg/mL, showing strong antioxidant activity.
Hydroethanol extract inhibited Enterobacter cloacae at 0.16µg/mL, with effective inhibition against S. aureus and E. coli.
