In:
International journal of pharmacy and pharmaceutical scienceSummary: Alpinia galanga
plant which is associated with family Zingiberaceae is mainly scattered in tropical areas and widely known for ethno
medicine
.
Against fungi and bacteria rhizome extract have
a maximum
inhibitory effect.
Alpinia
galanga
plant is used in medicine and
in food preparation.
Rhizome extract of
Alpinia galanga
have
high phenolic and flavonoid contents when
compared to leaf extract. Because of elevated phenolic and
flavonoid content in rhizome extract of
Alpinia galanga
there is noticeable antimicrobial as well as radical scavenging potential. It is
a well
-known
official drug
thought
out
the country as
integrated
contribution of nature. It is commonly used for the
management of eczema, coryza,
bronchitis,
otitis interna
, gastritis, ulcers, morbi

pityriasis
versicolor
, to clear the mouth, emaciation. The different parts of the plant have various
effects like antifungal, antiprotozoal, antiplatelet, antiviral, antidiabetic, immunomodulatory, antibacterial,
anti
-oxidant effects, hypolipidemic and
many others. The essential oil of
A. galanga
identified 1,
8-cineol as a bioactive agent having antifeeding activity. An aqueous acetone extract of
fruit
of
Alpinia galanga
shows inhibitory effect on melanogenesis
(formation of melanin). By using different methods, active constituent namely, 1'

acetochavicol
acetate in hexane extract of
Alpinia galanga
rhizome was investigated for their corrosion inhibition properties. The current review
