Latest Patents

Yuan’s patent, “Mangosteen Pericarp Extract and Process for Its Preparation Thereof,” describes an extract containing α-mangostin and γ-mangostin, prepared from mangosteen rind. The process includes fragmenting the rind, soaking it in an organic solvent and then an aqueous or acidic solution, concentrating the resulting material, spray-drying it, and grinding it.

The invention emphasizes a straightforward preparation process that avoids reflux heating during extraction and uses solvents described as more compatible with human health and the environment. The patent also reports that the extract, identified as α-Xones Prime, reduced insulin resistance and body-weight gain in rats fed a high-fat diet. It further describes reduced fat accumulation in adipose and muscle tissue in the animal study. The patent proposes potential use as a nutraceutical ingredient for weight management and as a candidate for further development related to metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
