Abstract

This analytical research presents current, evidence-based data on the chemical composition of Alpinia officinarum Hance roots. It is elicited that the root is rich with polyphenol complex with anti-cancer properties, specifically, flavonoids including galangin and diarylheptanoids. The data analysis of the root for terpenoids and other evaporated compounds as well as phenylpropanoids and phitosterins result in detection of the differences in chemical composition in different types of Alpinia officinarum Hance root.
The diversity in biological activity and pharmacological implementation can be due to a wide range of polyphenols extracted from the root of Alpinia officinarum Hance. This work suggests that it is a course of scientific research worth pursuing to identify the correlation between the chemical composition and biological activity of specific polyphenols as well as its mechanisms of action.
