Polymethoxyflavones from
Skin aging is accompanied by an increase in the number of senescent cells, resulting various pathological outcomes. These include inflammation, impaired barrier function, and susceptibility to skin disorders such as cancer. Kaempferia parviflora (Thai black ginger), a medicinal plant native Thailand, has been shown counteract cancer, senescence. This study demonstrates that polymethoxyflavones (5,7-dimethoxyflavone, 5,7,4'-trimethoxyflavone, 3,5,7,3',4'-pentamethoxyflavone) purified from K....
Kaempferia parviflora or black ginger is abundantly cultivated because its rhizomes contain methoxyflavones that have many pharmacological properties. K. can be divided into two types, based on morphological characteristics, but differences in their chemical compositions never been explored.This research aims to find markers used differentiate between the types of parviflora, red-leaf and green-leaf by quantifying amounts methoxyflavones.K. samples were collected from 39 locations Thailand....
