Mangifera caesia
Mangifera caesia
Mangifera caesia, also known as the Malabar mango, is a plant native to India and Sri Lanka. While traditional uses for this species are not well-documented, studies have shown that its leaf extracts exhibit varying degrees of larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and can inhibit egg hatching. Additionally, fruit extracts from Mangifera caesia display potent radical scavenging activities, with 70% ethanol extracts showing higher antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory properties compared to other fruits in the study. Chitosan nanoparticles prepared via ultrasound have also been found to effectively inhibit Colletotrichum gloeosporioides growth by 97% at a concentration of 0.5%. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for Mangifera caesia, but further research is needed to fully understand its potential applications and effects.
