Abstract
This paper aims to sketch an up-to-date phyto-pharmacological reports on Alpinia conchigera Griff. For this, published scientific reports found in the databases: PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar were considered. The findings suggest that A. conchigera contains various important secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, saponins, triterpenes, and phenols. Rhizomes contain essential oils. A. conchigera possesses various important biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and membrane stabilizing, anti-microbial, anthelmintic, larvicidal, anti-diarrheal and anti-motility, anti-cancer, anti-nociceptive, sedative, pesticidal, melanin synthesis inhibitory, anti-pyretic, and anti-atherothrombosis effects. The anti-cancer effects of A. conchigera and its derivatives have been found by causing cytotoxicity, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, autophagy and anti-proliferative effects in the test systems. Of note, A. conchigera may be one of the best sources of phytotherapeutic lead compounds.
