The identification of metabolites from spontaneous fermentation of mangosteen pericarp / Mohd Hazrin Sulaiman

In this study, the compounds inside mangosteen pericarp that has been spontaneously fermented for 90 days were being identified by using Chromatographic method, UHPLC and online database “MetFrag”. The results from the identification process were compared with findings from various researches. (S)-Cheilanthifoline, Sulfolene, Primaquine (anti-malarial), (+)-Cassythicine, 2-Heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide, 2-Heptyl-3-hydroxy-quinolone, Lycoricidine, Netilmicin (anti-bacterial), Sulbenicillin, Pyrithiamine, Progeldanamycin, 10-Deoxymethymycin (antibiotics), Tubulosine (anti-tumor) and Curacin A (anti-inflammatory), mostly alkaloids, were examples of compounds that have been discovered from this research. These compounds could be a possibility that the compounds are derived from the major xanthones, possibly evolved due to spontaneous fermentation process. Further investigation are needed to gather more evidence as to support research.
