Isolation of shogaol from Organic and Processed Ginger for Cancer Related Drug Discovery Research

Isolation of shogaol from Organic and Processed Ginger for Cancer Related Drug 
 Discovery Research Hunter Bouldin Young B. Kim, Ph. D. Department Applied Sciences & Math, School STEM, Bluefield State College, Bluefield, WV Natural products define as a chemical compound or substance plants, fungi, animals, microorganisms. Within drug discovery research, more than 60% drugs in industrialized nations are derived natural products. Among many, capsaicin is one product interest ours. Many literatures suggested it with anticancer effects this study limited by hydrolysis reaction which makes inactive molecule. However, structurally similar known lacks that amide bond limits its reactivity toward reaction. Knowing that, we will demonstrate analysis between organic processed ginger meeting also explore various solvents to illustrate optimal condition isolation bio-active product. In poster, show our research hypothesis, outline, data. We hypothesizing have greater amount due environmental factors general outline project highlights below: 1) drying your samples, 2) extraction, 3) TLC analysis, 4) silica gel-column purification, 5) experimental analysis. both current stage future direction achieve meaningful result accept/not accept hypothesis. Additionally, isolated be used cancer related BSC Lab.
