Key Findings
- The study by SAVA Healthcare Limited examined the stability of alpha-mangostin (AM) under various environmental conditions
- Only exposure to acidic conditions significantly degraded AM, forming degraded alpha-mangostin (DAM)
- The degradation affected the prenyl groups at C2 and C8, which are crucial for AM's antibacterial activity
