Myocardial remodeling is one of the important pathological basis when myocardial infarction or pressure overload occurs, whereas mangiferin which is a naturally occurring xanthone has a broad range of therapeutic effect on postinfarction myocardial remodeling. Mangiferin attenuates myocardial infarction by preventing the accumulation of myocardial collagen and the development of intercellular fibrosis. Mangiferin's inhibition to p38 mitogen activated protein kinases plays an important role in the cardioprotective effect. Inhibition of p38 mitogen activated protein kinases significantly decreases TNF-α and then brings the cardioprotective effect. Similarly, p38 mitogen activated protein kinases in pressure overload disease also play a very important role. Understanding of these has direct implications for clinical therapy.
