Material and methods: Healthy male and female ICR mice (8 weeks) were fed orally with 250 and 500mg/kg of &amp;beta;-mangostin. Body weight of each animal was measured and any gross behavioral change was observed daily. Hematological and clinical biochemical parameters as well as histopathological analysis were carried out on 15th day. The level of oxidative stress was analyzed using MDA and GSH measurement.&lt;strong&gt;Discussion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results showed that oral administration of the &amp;beta;-mangostin had no adverse effect on the growth rate, hematological and clinical biochemical parameters. Histological studies showed that the treatments did not induce any pathological changes in the liver and kidney. The compound at both the doses did not alter the oxidative stress biomarkers. The &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; cytotoxicity of &amp;beta; Mangostin was investigated in HepG2, A549, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and PC3 cells. There was significant cytotoxicity in both type of breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). In conclusion, our results show that there was no treatment-related acute toxicity in mice following 14-days oral administration of 250 and 500mg/kg of &amp;beta;-mangostin. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results showed that the compound can be selected for detailed &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;in vivo&lt;/em&gt; breast cancer research.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cratoxylum arborescens&lt;/em&gt;, β-mangostin, acute toxicity, anti-cancer.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suvitha Syam&lt;sup&gt;*,1&lt;/sup&gt;, Ahmad Bustamam&lt;sup&gt;1,*&lt;/sup&gt;, Rasedee Abdullah&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Mohamed Aspollah Sukari&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Najihah Mohd Hashim&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;, Maizatulakmal Yahayu&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;, Pouya Hassandarvish&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;, Syam Mohan&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; and Siddig Ibrahim Abdelwahab&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;UPM-MAKNA Cancer Research Laboratory, Institute of Bioscience, University Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;Department of Veterinary Pathology and Microbiology, Faculty of Veterinary, University Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt;Medical Research Centre, Jazan University, P.O.
