چکیده
Ginger rhizome powder is widely used as a food spice and an herbal medicine around the world. A sensitive and accurate High Performance thin layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method has been developed to determine the quantity of 10-gingerol in Zingiber officinale extract and ginger-containing dietary supplements, teas and commercial creams on aluminum-backed silica gel 60 F254 plates with n-hexane:ethyl acetate 50:50 (v/v) as mobile phase. The retention factor (Rf) of 10-gingerol was found to be 0.42 ± 0.02. The calibration curve shows good linear relationship with correlation coefficient of 0.9985 in the concentration range of 200–1200 ng/spot. The proposed HPTLC method was found simple, cost effective, selective, precise and accurate, and can be used for quality control as well as routine qualitative and quantitative analysis of ginger extracts as well as ginger containing herbal formulations.

متن کاملGingerols of Zingiber officinale enhance glucose uptake by increasing cell surface GLUT4 in cultured L6 myotubes.
In this study we investigate the active constituents of the rhizome of Zingiber officinale, Roscoe (ginger) and determine their activity on glucose uptake in cultured L6 myotubes and the molecular mechanism underlying this action. Freeze-dried ginger powder was extracted with ethyl acetate (1 kg/3 L) to give the total ginger extract, which was then separated into seven fractions, consisting of ...

Nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) is the blend of solid lipid, liquid lipid and suitable surfactant for the purpose of encapsulated poorly water soluble drugs. [6]-gingerol is the main bioactive compound in Zingiber officinale, widely known as ginger in Malaysia. Zingiber officinale extract has been discovered to have anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial effects to human body. T...
متن کاملBioassay-guided isolation and identification of antifungal compounds from ginger.
A bioassay-guided isolation of antifungal compounds from an African land race of ginger, Zingiber officinale Roscoe, led to the identification of [6], [8] and [10]-gingerols and [6]-gingerdiol as the main antifungal principles. The compounds were active against 13 human pathogens at concentrations of <1 mg/mL. The gingerol content of the African land race was at least 3 x higher than that of ty...
