Rasna is an ayurvedic drug. Alpinia galanga, Alpinia calcarata and Pluchea lanceolata are used as source plants of Rasna. The two species of Alpinia are used in Kerala and in North India Pluchea lanceolata is used as the source of rasna. This paper deals with the morphological, anatomical and histological comparisons of rhizomes of the two species of Alpinia and root of Pluchea lanceolata. For ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Epilepsy is one of the most common serious neurological conditions. The current therapeutic treatment of epilepsy with modern antiepileptic drugs is associated with side effects, dose-related and chronic toxicity, and teratogenic effects and in approximately 30% of the patients is ineffective. Alpinia officinarum is used in Iranian traditional medicine for treatment of di...

Objectives: To examine the thermodynamics and kinetics of Alpinia officinarum’s (AO) inhibitory response on carbon steel (CS) corrosion in well water. Weight-loss (WL), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods various pH levels are utilized to calculate inhibition efficiency (IE) rate (CR). Methods: WL PDP EIS techniques were performed assess adso...

Tissue cultured Alpinia galanga plantlets were subjected to assessment of genetic stability considering the fact that associated in vitro stress might result in breakdown of control mechanism causing instability of the genome. We have used two DNA based molecular markers to assess the genetic fidelity of in vitro regenerated Alpinia galanga L. through axillary buds from unsprouted rhizomes. The...

BACKGROUND It is known that the medicinal herb Alpinia oxyphylla Miq. is widely used as a remedy for diarrhea as well as the symptoms accompanying hypertension and cerebrovascular disorders. Moreover, it has also been reported that Alpinia oxyphylla Miq. has beneficial effects on anti-senescence and neuro-protection. This study focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which the Alpinia oxyphylla ...
