Abstract

Mangifera Indica was used in traditional medicine due to its various medicinal effects. Many nutraceutical agents could be derived from Mangifera Indica. Mangiferin, one of the researched extracts, has shown promising therapeutic potential in different diseases. Mangiferin is also used in the treatment of several cancers, including breast, cervical, colon, gastric, pancreatic, and nasopharyngeal cancers. In this mini-review, we focused on recent in-vitro and in-vivo studies discussing the anti-cancer effect of Mangiferin, while highlighting its effect and mechanism of action. We hope that this mini-review can help to update our knowledge about the effects and mechanisms of extracts from this promising herb Mangifera Indica for ongoing studies and speed up its clinical application in the future.
