Alpinia officinarum
Espèce de galangal plus petite utilisée en médecine traditionnelle chinoise (MTC) et en médecine européenne médiévale ; produit commercial de l'échange des épices.
Alpinia officinarum, commonly known as lesser galangal, is a rhizomatous herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and medieval European spice trade. Modern evidence (Level C) supports its use as an anti-nausea, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory agent, while traditional applications include digestive stimulation and relief from cold, flu, and stomach pain. Key active compounds include galangin, alpinetin, kaempferide, acetoxychavicol acetate, cineole, and methyl cinnamate.
Galangin and 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects. These compounds also suppress NF-κB activation, further attenuating pro-inflammatory cytokine production. The antiemetic action is attributed to antagonism of 5-HT3 receptors and modulation of gastrointestinal motility via cholinergic pathways. Antimicrobial activity involves disruption of bacterial cell membranes and inhibition of biofilm formation, particularly against Helicobacter pylori and Candida species.
