Phytochemistry And Pharmacology Of Plants From The Ginger Family, Zingiberaceae, Hans Wohlmuth Jul 2013

Phytochemistry And Pharmacology Of Plants From The Ginger Family, Zingiberaceae, Hans Wohlmuth

Dr Hans Wohlmuth

This thesis reports on a series of investigations into the phytochemistry and pharmacology of plants belonging to the ginger family, Zingiberaceae (incl. Costaceae). The work falls into two main parts. The first part examines the pungent compounds and essential oil in 17 clones of ginger (Zingiber officinale) with a view to identify one or more with unique chemistry and consequent particular therapeutic (or flavouring) prospects. The second part comprises the screening of 41 taxa for inhibition of PGE2 and other biological activities, with the primary aim of identifying species with potential anti-inflammatory activity. This part tested the hypothesis that the …
