The invention belongs to the fields of innovative medicines and
cosmetics and particularly relates to a preparing method and uses of
mangostin shown as a formula (I) and
mangostin analogues shown as a formula (II). Alpha-
mangostin, beta-mangostin, gamma-mangostin and analogues thereof are respectively prepared through olefination and through controlling conditions for deprotection. According to the method, products are high in purity, operation is simple and convenient, yields are high, costs are low and the method is suitable for large-scale production. On one hand, the beta-mangostin, the gamma-mangostin, beta-methoxy-mangostin, and analogues thereof have
ultraviolet absorption ability and
ultraviolet light
radiation preventing functions so that the beta-mangostin, the gamma-mangostin, the beta-methoxy-mangostin, and the analogues thereof can be adopted as a sun-screening agent separately or compounded with other sun-screening agents and applied into
cosmetics; and on the other hand, the beta-mangostin, the gamma-mangostin, the beta-methoxy-mangostin, and the analogues thereof have activity of inhibiting
acid sphingomyelinase so that the beta-mangostin, the gamma-mangostin, the beta-methoxy-mangostin, and the analogues thereof can be adopted as
acid sphingomyelinase inhibitors and applied for preparation of medicines for preventing and treating
acid sphingomyelinase related diseases mainly including cardio cerebrovascular diseases, neurological diseases, liver diseases,
lung diseases, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases and the like.
