Abstract
Alpinia katsumadai Hayata (Zingiberaceae) has been used as an anti-emetic medicine and to treat gastric disorders in Oriental Medicine. Previous phytochemical investigations of this plant have resulted in the isolation of various diarylheptanoids, kavalactones, flavonoids, stilbenes, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes. Some of these compounds have antioxidant, anti-emetic, antiviral, and cytoprotective effects. This review paper discusses the structural characterization of the chemical constituents of A. katsumadai, as well as the biological activity of pure constituents of this plant material.
