Curcuma phaeocaulis, a perennial herb of the ginger family, has been used to treat many diseases in traditional medicine systems. This study aimed to extract, isolate, and purify a homogeneous polysaccharide from C. phaeocaulis, conduct preliminary structural characterization, and evaluate its antioxidant activity at the cellular level. The structure of the purified polysaccharide (CPAP-1) was characterized using size exclusion chromatography (SEC), chemical derivatization analysis (CDA), GC-MS, FT-IR, and NMR. The results showed that CPAP-1 has an apparent molecular weight of 118.122 kDa and is hypothesized to be an arabinogalactan with a backbone composed of →3,6)-β-d-Galp-(1→ and →3)-β-d-Galp-(1→ residues, a structure that is relatively novel in Curcuma longa. In vitro antioxidant assays demonstrated that CPAP-1 possesses potent antioxidative stress activity, effectively scavenging both DPPH and hydroxyl radicals. Furthermore, cellular experiments revealed that at concentrations of 500 and 750 mg/L, CPAP-1 significantly protected human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) against H2O2-induced oxidative damage. In conclusion, these findings suggest that CPAP-1 could be developed as a natural antioxidant, functional food, or therapeutic agent for preventing and mitigating oxidative stress-related vascular injury, providing a theoretical basis for further development and application.

Turmeric is a common spice obtained from the rhizomes of the Curcuma longa plant. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae (ginger family). The rhizome is a horizontally growing stem that sends roots and shoots from below ground. Turmeric has many uses, including spice, food preservation, flavor enhancement, and coloring. Also, it is used in conventional medicine as a home treatment for many diseases. Turmeric obtains its yellow color from curcuminoids, polyphenolic pigments that dissolve in fat. The primary curcuminoid form in turmeric is curcumin or diferuloylmethane (1,7-bis (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione). It is the most active element and is responsible for its biological characteristics. Curcumin exhibits significant benefits in many human disease treatments. Generally, curcumin is beneficial to human health due to its therapeutic characteristics. These involve antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiangiogenic, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, antidiabetic, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, wound healing, and cardiovascular diseases. Although comprehensive studies have been conducted on curcumin's ability to treat many human diseases, major challenges remain, especially regarding its therapeutic efficacy and bioavailability. This review presents an overview of curcumin's therapeutic applications, its benefits for human health, and the challenges to its broad use. It also highlighted existing solutions and approaches to enhance curcumin's therapeutic potential.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease in which blood sugar levels are uncontrolled. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is uncontrolled blood sugar levels that occur due to insulin resistance or reduced body sensitivity to insulin. Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, pharmacologically, uses oral antihyperglycemic drugs and injectable antihyperglycemic drugs. Although effective, antidiabetic drugs often cause adverse side effects. Indonesian people are concerned about synthetic drugs because of the potential side effects caused so that people are encouraged to look for more natural or herbal alternative treatments that are believed to have antidiabetic activity, one of which is ginger. Bangle (Zingiber purpureum Roxb.) is one of the plants that belongs to the zingiberaceae or ginger family. Bangle rhizome has a major compound of curcumin of 2,633% w/w and phenylbutanoid which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) agonist activity. With this activity, the antidiabetic potential of bangle rhizome was tested in vivo using alloxan-induced hyperglycemic mice, observed in 14 days with bangle rhizome extract doses of 100mg/kgBW, 200mg/kgBW, 400mg/kgBW, and in silico to determine compounds that have antidiabetic activity. The results obtained from the in vivo test for reducing blood sugar on days 7 and 14 had a significance value of 0.383 (p>0.05) and 0.253 (p>0.05) which means that the administration of bangle rhizome extract did not have a significant effect on reducing blood sugar in hyperglycemic male mice. The in silico test conducted was in line with the in vivo results where bangle rhizome extract had greater potential for anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and fat metabolism activities. The PASS Online results did not show any activity related to insulin sensitivity or alpha glucosidase inhibitor activity.

Ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke and poses a major global health challenge due to its high mortality and lasting disability impact. The onset and progression of ischemic stroke are largely linked to oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Alpinetin, a natural flavonoid found in the ginger family, exhibits various pharmacological properties, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, the neuroprotective potential of alpinetin in attenuating oxidative stress and inflammation against cerebral ischemic stroke was evaluated. Ninety male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to the sham operation group, the Rt.MCAO group, the Rt.MCAO+piracetam group, and the Rt.MCAO+alpinetin groups (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg BW). Cerebral infarction size, neuronal density, and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities were measured. Three days of treatment with alpinetin markedly reduced the infarct volume by 30% compared to the Rt.MCAO+vehicle-treated group. Additionally, rats treated with alpinetin exhibited a significant increase in neuronal density in the cortex, as well as in the CA1 and CA3 regions of the hippocampus. Furthermore, treatment with alpinetin ameliorated both the Rt.MCAO-induced increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) activity and the Rt.MCAO-induced decrease in catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in the cortex and hippocampus. Moreover, COX-2 and IL-6 protein levels were assessed using western blotting. The results showed that treatment with alpinetin (100 mg/kg BW) significantly reduced the expression levels of COX-2 and IL-6 in both the cortex and hippocampus. Our findings suggest that alpinetin significantly mitigates the effects of cerebral ischemia-induced brain damage through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and could potentially be developed as a therapeutic agent for stroke treatment.

Bangle, a perennial herb belonging to the ginger family with antiinflammatory properties, has been under-researched in ulcerative colitis. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Bangle extract (BaE) on inflammation and autophagy in the colons of mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. Male C57BL/6J mice were assigned to four groups: control, DSS+0% BaE, DSS+1% BaE, and DSS+3% BaE. The BaE groups were fed BaE diets for 3 weeks, followed by an additional week of BaE diets and 3% DSS in the water. The control group received a standard chow diet and water for 4 weeks. Plasma leucine-rich α2-glycoprotein (LRG) levels, macrophage count, and the levels of nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) p65, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), and autophagy markers were analyzed. In the DSS+0% BaE group, LRG levels, macrophage count, NFκB p65 protein, and TNF-α mRNA levels were significantly higher compared to the control group. However, in the DSS+3% BaE group, these levels were significantly reduced. Additionally, PGC-1α and phosphorylated AMPK levels were increased, while phosphorylated mTOR levels decreased, and autophagy marker microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B)-II levels were increased in the DSS+3% BaE group. BaE may ameliorate colonic inflammation and upregulate autophagy via the modulation of the AMPK/mTOR/NFκB pathway in DSS-induced colitis.

Composition and antioxidant activity of flavonoids from two different species of Amomi Fructus extracted using natural deep eutectic solvents.

Amomum villosum L. is a perennial herbaceous belonging to the ginger family. Due to its unique aroma, it is widely used in alcoholic beverages and food processing. Unfortunately, issues with bitterness and sourness occur, which affect the taste and quality of processed products. In this study, the non-volatile sour and bitter substances in Amomum villosum L. were systematically isolated, purified, and characterized through a combination of chromatographic separation techniques and ultra-performance liquid chromatography–quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF-MS). The results indicate that three sour compounds (DL-malic acid, protocatechuic acid, and p-hydroxybenzoic acid) and one bitter compound (catechin) were identified for the first time in Amomum villosum L. The in vitro anti-tumor activity was screened and determined using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays, a 5-Ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining experiment, and scratch assays. The results reveal that the bitter substance of catechin (25–100 μg/mL) exhibited significant inhibitory effects, which inhibited the proliferation and migration of human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells through dose-dependent mechanisms. This investigation also reveals the influence of different traditional extraction solvents on the degree of bitterness and sourness in Amomum villosum extracts, providing a theoretical basis for improving the quality and pharmacological utilization of Amomum villosum extracts.

Curcuma wenyujin, a perennial herb of the ginger family, is renowned for its significant medicinal properties. Phosphorus (P), a vital nutrient for plant growth and development, has seen its levels, particularly organic P, increase in the soils of agricultural regions in southern China, presenting new challenges for nutrient management. This study aimed to uncover the molecular responses of C. wenyujin seedlings to both normal and high phosphorus (HP) conditions, shedding light on their adaptation strategies to P stress. Through transcriptome and metabolome analyses of the seedlings under normal and HP conditions, we identified 1,793 metabolites, with 195 showing differential expression. Notably, KEGG enrichment analysis highlighted 35 significantly differential accumulation metabolites (DAMs). Comparing the control group (CK) and HP treated groups (T) revealed 840 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), pinpointing the molecular divergences in response to varying P levels. Importantly, we found a potential gene, purple acid phosphatase 17 (pap17) that may cofer HP stress conditions in C. wenyujin. That elucidated the response variations of C. wenyujin seedlings to diverse P concentrations. The research suggested that C. wenyujin may adjust to varying P levels by modulating metabolites and genes linked to amino acid and phenylpropane metabolism. It highlighted the sophisticated mechanisms plants utilize to manage P stress, offering insights into their survival tactics in settings where P availability changes.

Background and aims:Aframomum melegueta (A. melegueta) from the ginger family is appreciated for its pungent seeds widely used in African ethno-medicine. Among the several biological activities associated with the seed's preparations, some preclinical studies suggest a set of neuroactive properties that have not been tested in humans to date. We performed a clinical trial to investigate the effects of A. melegueta seed extracts on anxiety, stress, mood, and sleep in healthy subjects with moderate anxiety levels. In vitro pharmacological assays targeting the endocannabinoid, serotoninergic, and GABAergic systems were conducted to elucidate the underlying mechanism of action. Methods:A. melegueta standardized to 10% total vanilloids (primarily 6-gingerol, 6-shogaol, and 6-paradol) was obtained after hydroalcoholic extraction and the spray-drying microencapsulation process. Subjects consumed 50, 100, or 150 mg of the extract daily for two days. A set of validated psychometric test questionnaires was collected before and 48 h after the first intake. A. melegueta extract interaction with canonical endocannabinoid receptors (hCB1R and hCB2R), the serotonin receptor (5HT1AR) and gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAA1R) was evaluated by the radioligand binding assay. Additionally, receptor functional assays and enzyme inhibition assays were conducted to test the extract's functional activity on the non-canonical endocannabinoid receptor (TRPV1) and the cannabinoid fatty-acid amide hydrolase enzyme (FAAH), respectively. Results: In vitro pharmacological tests showed that the A. melegueta extract activated TRPV1, modulated both hCB2R and 5HT1AR and inhibited FAAH, which is the enzyme primarily responsible for hydrolyzing endogenous anandamide. After a 48 h intake period, the extract significantly reduced anxiety and tension related to stress, improved overall mood, and enhanced sleep quality in the participants at doses ranging from 50 to 150 mg, with no reported side effects. Conclusions: This study supports the potential of the A. melegueta extract for anxiety reduction, mood improvement, stress mitigation, and sleep enhancement. The in vitro tests suggest that the extract's primary mechanism of action may involve the inhibition of FAAH, which is a key target in anxiety management.

Abstract Hornstedtia scyphifera (J.Koenig) Steud. represents a lesser-known member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) that is used in Malaysia as spice and traditional medicine. The phytochemical investigation of leaves from this species utilizing diverse analytical methods has provided comprehensive insights into its chemical profile for the first time. Headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GCMS) and GCMS analyses of essential oil and nonpolar extracts verified α-pinene, camphene, p-cymene, and camphor as main volatile compounds. Metabolite profiling of the crude extract by ultra-high-performance-liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) unveiled terpenoids, flavonoids and other phenolics as major compound classes. Isolation and follow-up structure elucidation, involving 1D and 2D NMR, HRMS, UV and CD analysis, yielded two new sesquiterpenoids, (1R,5S,6S,7R,10R)-mustak-14-oic acid (1) and (1R,6S,7S,10R)-6-hydroxy-anhuienosol (2), along with 24 known compounds (seven terpenoids, seven flavonoids, ten phenolics), 21 of these never reported for H. scyphifera. Additionally, the crude extract and fractions from the purification process were screened for antibacterial and antifungal activity. This is supplemented by an extensive literature research for described bioactivities of all isolated compounds. Our results support and explain previously detected antimicrobial, antifungal and neuroprotective effects of H. scyphifera extracts and provide evidence for its potential pharmacological importance.

Objective/Background: Alpinia gagnepainii K.Schum, a member of the ginger family, is predominantly found in northern Vietnam. Methods: Essential oils (EOs) of A. gagnepainii leaves and rhizomes were extracted through hydrodistillation and their chemical composition was analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The antioxidant activity of the EOs was assessed via DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays, and their in vitro inhibitory effects on α-amylase and tyrosinase were also evaluated. Results: The leaf EO comprised 46 compounds (95.83% of the total composition), while the rhizome EO contained 49 compounds (98.37%). β-Pinene was identified as the most abundant component, accounting for 27.09% in the leaf EO and 20.45% in the rhizome EO. The former demonstrated a stronger DPPH radical scavenging ability (IC 50 = 1070.35 ± 9.17 μg/mL), whereas the latter was more effective against ABTS radicals (IC 50 = 1519.18 ± 112.58 μg/mL). No significant difference in antityrosinase activity was observed between the two EOs; however, the rhizome EO (IC 50 = 195.14 ± 6.49 μg/mL) exhibited a more potent anti-α-amylase activity than the leaf EO. Conclusion: This study reported the chemical composition, antioxidant, anti-α-amylase, and antityrosinase activities of A. gagnepainii EOs for the first time. The bioactivities of the plant indicate their potential applications in the nutraceutical and cosmeceutical industries.
