چکیده
Curcuma Kwangsiensis S. G. Lee et C. F. Liang originates from the rhizome of the Curcuma Genus which is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. Pharmacological studies showed that curzerenone [1], curcumol, curdione, β-elemene, germacrone were the active ingredients of volatile oil from rhizoma curcuma. In addition, they had the effect of anti-inflammation, antibiosis [2], antivirus [3], immunoenhancement, anticancer [4,5], anti-pathogen, anti-early pregnancy, and declining enzyme. Particularly, its anticancer effect has attracted much attention and it has been widely used in clinic.

The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from Alpinia kwangsiensis rhizomes was investigated by GC-MS. A total of 31 components representing 92.45% of the oil were identified and the main compounds in the oil were found to be camphor (17.59%), eucalyptol (15.16%), β-pinene (11.15%) and α-pinene (10.50%). These four compounds were subsequently isolated and the essential oil and four isola...

We aimed to compare the anti-inflammatory activities of six species of Curcuma drugs using adjuvant arthritis model mice. When orally administered 1 day before the injection of adjuvant, the methanol extract of Curcuma phaeocaulis significantly inhibited paw swelling and the serum haptoglobin concentration in adjuvant arthritis mice. Also when orally administered 1 day after the injection of ad...

The essential oil from Curcuma longa L. was analysed by GC/MS. The major components of the oil were ar-turmerone (33.2%), α -turmerone (23.5%) and β -turmerone (22.7%). The antifungal activities of the oil were studied with regard to Aspergillus flavus growth inhibition and altered morphology, as preliminary studies indicated that the essential oil from C. longa inhibited Aspergillus flavus Lin...
متن کاملTurmeric (Curcuma longa L.) volatile oil inhibits key enzymes linked to type 2 diabetes.
Anti-diabetic capacity of Curcuma longa volatile oil in terms of its ability to inhibit glucosidase activities was evaluated. Turmeric volatile oils inhibited glucosidase enzymes more effectively than the reference standard drug acarbose. Drying of rhizomes was found to enhance α-glucosidase (IC₅₀ = 1.32-0.38 μg/ml) and α-amylase (IC₅₀ = 64.7-34.3 μg/ml) inhibitory capacities of volatile oils. ...
