Product Description
Isogarcinol (Cambogin) is a potent AChE and BChE inhibitor (antagonist) with IC50s of 1.13 and 8.30 μM, respectively. Isogarcinol also has leishmanicidal activity with IC50 of 0.33 μM against L. donovani.
Isogarcinol (Cambogin) is a polyisoprenylated benzophenone naturally found in various Garcinia species, including Garcinia cambogia and Garcinia indica. It is structurally related to garcinol and has been identified as a bioactive compound with diverse pharmacological properties. In vitro studies have demonstrated its leishmanicidal activity against Leishmania donovani amastigotes, with an IC₅₀ of 0.33 μM, and its anticholinesterase activity against acetylcholinesterase (IC₅₀ = 1.13 μM) and butyrylcholinesterase (IC₅₀ = 8.30 μM). Additionally, isogarcinol has shown cytotoxicity against rat skeletal myoblast L6 cells (IC₅₀ = 2.7 μM). As a natural histone acetyltransferase (HAT) inhibitor, it also exhibits anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties, making it a promising lead compound for further pharmacological development.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Isogarcinol (cambogin) was evaluated for leishmanicidal activity against Leishmania donovani axenic amastigotes and for anticholinesterase activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). [1]
AChE (IC50 = 1.13 ± 0.0 μM); BChE (IC50 = 8.30 ± 0.0 μM); Leishmania (IC50 = 0.33 μM)
ln Vitro
Isogarcinol (cambogin, compound 3) was tested for in vitro leishmanicidal activity against Leishmania donovani axenic amastigotes. At a screening concentration of 0.8 μg/mL, it showed parasite growth inhibition of 13.3%; at 4.8 μg/mL, it showed 57.4% inhibition. [1]
Cambogin was subsequently assayed for IC₅₀ determination against L. donovani, showing an IC₅₀ of 0.33 μM. Its cytotoxicity against rat skeletal myoblast L6 cells was 2.7 μM, giving a selectivity index of 6.1. [1]
For anticholinesterase activity, cambogin showed an IC₅₀ of 1.13 μM against AChE and 8.30 μM against BChE. [1]
Enzyme Assay
Leishmanicidal Activity Assay: Leishmania donovani axenic amastigotes (strain MHOM/ET/67/L82) were cultured in a 1:1 mixture of SM and SDM-79 medium (pH 5.4) with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum. Compounds were serially diluted (30 to 0.041 μg/mL) in 96-well plates. Then 10⁵ amastigotes in 50 μL medium were added per well and incubated at 37°C under 5% CO₂ for 72 hours. Resazurin solution (12.5 mg in 100 mL distilled water, 10 μL) was added and incubated for 2-4 hours. Fluorescence was measured at 536 nm excitation and 588 nm emission. Miltefosine was used as a positive control. IC₅₀ values were calculated from sigmoidal inhibition curves. [1]
Cytotoxicity Assay (L6 cells): Rat skeletal muscle myoblasts (L6 cells) were seeded in 96-well plates at 2 × 10³ cells/100 μL in MEM with 10% heat-inactivated FBS. Three-fold serial dilutions of compounds (90 to 0.13 μg/mL) were added. Plates were incubated at 37°C with 5% CO₂ for 72 hours. Resazurin was added as a viability indicator, and fluorescence was measured at 536 nm excitation and 588 nm emission. Podophyllotoxin was used as a positive control. IC₅₀ values were calculated using Softmax Pro software. [1]
Cholinesterase Inhibition Assay: A slightly modified spectrophotometric method was used. Acetylthiocholine iodide and butyrylthiocholine chloride were used as substrates for AChE and BChE, respectively. DTNB was used to measure cholinesterase activity. A 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 8.0, 140 μL), DTNB (10 μL), test compound solution (20 μL), and enzyme solution (20 μL) were mixed and incubated for 15 minutes at 25°C. The reaction was initiated by adding 10 μL of substrate. Hydrolysis was monitored by formation of the yellow 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoate anion at 412 nm for 15 minutes. All reactions were performed in triplicate in 96-well plates. IC₅₀ values were calculated using EZ-Fit Enzyme Kinetics software. [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Isogarcinol (cambogin) showed cytotoxicity against rat skeletal myoblast L6 cells with an IC₅₀ of 2.7 μM. The selectivity index (cytotoxicity/leishmanicidal activity) was 6.1. [1]

Additional Infomation
Isogarcinol (cambogin) is a polyisoprenylated benzophenone isolated from the fruits of Allanblackia monticola (Clusiaceae family). It was obtained as a yellow powder (110 mg) from the methanolic extract of A. monticola fruits after flash chromatography and repeated column chromatography on silica gel eluted with n-hexane-EtOAc mixtures. [1]
In this study, cambogin showed moderate leishmanicidal activity (IC₅₀ = 0.33 μM) compared to guttiferone A (0.16 μM) and guttiferone F (0.20 μM). Its anticholinesterase activity against AChE (IC₅₀ = 1.13 μM) was less potent than garcinol (0.66 μM) and guttiferone A (0.88 μM). [1]
Isogarcinol has been reported in gamboge, garcinia cochinchinensis, and other organisms with available data.
