Alpinia galanga
Already entered as galangal-root — distinct entry for emphasis on its anticancer and digestive properties researched in modern medicine.
Greater Galangal (Alpinia galanga) is a rhizomatous herb traditionally used in Southeast Asian medicine for digestive and respiratory ailments, with modern research highlighting its anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Key active compounds include galangin, 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA), kaempferide, and beta-sitosterol, which contribute to its therapeutic effects.
Galangin inhibits NF-κB and COX-2 pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines; ACA induces apoptosis in cancer cells via caspase-3 activation and mitochondrial membrane depolarization. Kaempferide modulates estrogen receptor activity, while beta-sitosterol competes with cholesterol absorption and exhibits anti-angiogenic effects. Antimicrobial action involves disruption of bacterial cell membranes and inhibition of biofilm formation.
