Role of Mangiferin in Management of Cancers through Modulation of Signal Transduction Pathways
Open accessAbstract
Cancer is a major public health concern worldwide in terms of mortality. The exact reason behind the development of cancer is not understood clearly, but it is evidenced that alcohol consumption, radiation, and exposure to chemicals are main players in this pathogenesis. The current mode of treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are effective, but, still, cancer is a major problem leading to death and other side effects. However, safer and effective treatment modules are needed to overcome the adverse effects of current treatment modules. In this regard, natural compounds have been recognized to ameliorate diseases by exerting anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-tumor potential through several mechanisms. Mangiferin, a xanthone C-glucoside, is found in several plant species including Mangifera indica (mango), and its role in disease prevention has been confirmed through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Furthermore, its anti-cancer-potential mechanism has been designated through modulation of cell signaling pathways such as inflammation, angiogenesis, PI3K/AKT, apoptosis, and cell cycle. This article extensively reviews the anticancer potential of mangiferin in different cancers through the modulation of cell signaling pathways. Moreover, the synergistic effects of this compound with some commonly used anti-cancer drugs against different cancer cells are discussed. More clinical trials should be performed to reconnoiter the anti-cancer potential of this compound in human cancer treatment. Further, understanding of mechanisms of action and the safety level of this compound can help to manage diseases, including cancer.

According to previous cancer-related experiments, MGF most consistently modulates four signaling axes: NF-κB, Nrf2, MAPK and PI3K/Akt.
“According to previous cancer-related experiments, MGF most consistently modulates four signaling axes that share common upstream triggers and downstream responses (38,39).”
From Mangiferin in human disease: Multifaceted mechanisms and applications (Review) (2026) · cites this paper as [39]
Section 3.1 reports NF-κB inhibition, section 3.8 reports increased Nrf2 in HL-60 cells, and section 3.6 reports reduced PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 phosphorylation after mangiferin treatment. These passages support modulation of the named signaling axes in cancer-related experiments, but the review does not establish that these four are the most consistently modulated or that they share common upstream triggers and downstream responses. Section 4.15 also reports no change in JNK1/2 or ERK1/2 phosphorylation in multiple myeloma cells. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
