Osteogenic, antiresorptive, and toxicological evaluation of alpha-mangostin in MC3T3-E1 cells and medaka fish

values (concentrations causing 50% of developmental abnormalities) of 103.66 and 3.3 μM, respectively, leading to tail deformities, hemorrhage, and reduced hatching and heart rates. At sub-toxic concentrations (0.25-1 μM), aMG significantly attenuated Rankl-induced bone loss in the neural arches of osteoporotic medaka larvae. Collectively, this study provides the first evidence of the dual osteogenic and antiresorptive actions of aMG, along with its toxicity profile, highlighting its potential as a plant-derived anti-osteoporosis agent.
