The invention discloses a mangosteen total
xanthone extract and a preparation method thereof and well as application in the preparation of a TR3
receptor inducer, belonging to the field of pharmaceuticals and foods. The mangosteen total
xanthone extract is applied to preparing foods or medicines for preventing or treating cancers,
hepatitis or atherosclerosis as the TR3
receptor inducer. The TR3
receptor inducer and pharmaceutically-acceptable vectors are mixed to prepare powders, tablets, capsules, pills, suppositories, dropping pills, enteric-coated agents, injections, syrups, emulsions, suspensions, tinctures, ointments or sprays. Based on a mechanism that TR3 is possible to be an ideal molecular target for screening anti-tumor and cardiovascular medicines, the invention discovers and develops compounds for selectively controlling the TR3 expression approach or
medicine compositions with the advanced treating characteristic and has practical meaning.
