galanga de l'Inde
Alpinia galanga · Galanga
Alpinia galanga, a plant traditionally used in Southeast Asian cuisines and folk medicine, particularly in Thai and Indonesian practices. While its specific traditional uses are not well-documented, it has been employed for culinary purposes and some local remedies. Scientific evidence suggests that Alpinia galanga contains bioactive compounds, including four new dilignans and one monolignan, which exhibit significant anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting nitric oxide (NO) production in macrophages. This review also indicates potential antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory effects through various bioactive compounds found in the plant. Additionally, Alpinia galanga extract has been shown to reduce Candida albicans adhesion to denture acrylic by over 80%, and treatment with galangin in letrozole-induced polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) rats restored hormonal balance and improved PI3K/pAKT signaling while reducing oxidative and inflammatory responses. No major safety issues or recorded drug interactions have been noted, but further research is needed to fully understand its potential benefits and applications.
