Mango Compound Mangiferin Active Against Toxoplasma parasite
Original: Mango Compound Mangiferin Shows Multi-Stage Activity Against Toxoplasma gondii
Researchers report that mangiferin, a compound found in mangoes, shows activity against multiple life stages of Toxoplasma gondii, the parasite that infects a large share of the global population. The multi-stage effect is notable because most existing drugs target only the active tachyzoite form and are ineffective against dormant tissue cysts. Findings are still at the research stage.
Why now: New research linking a common fruit compound to a parasite affecting billions is drawing attention
