Abstract:
Semen Alpiniae Katsumadai,nearly mature seeds of Alpinia katsumadai Hayata(Zingib-eraceae),mainly contains flavonoids and terpenoids,which have significant anti-tumor effect.The anti-cancer mechanisms of Semen A.katsumadai include anti-proliferation,apoptosis induction,anti-metas-tasis, energy metabolism modulation and anti-inflammation. This paper reviews the latest advances in studies on the anti-tumor components and the underlying mechanisms of Semen A. katsumadai, the purpose of which is to contribute to the study of both chemical constituents and anti-cancer pharmacology of Semen A.katsumadai.
