“…It has already been reported that two species of Alpinia, leaves of A. zerumbet (de Araujo et al, 2005) and rhizomes of A. calcarata (Arambewela et al, 2004), exhibit analgesic activities via the opioid receptor. It is quite interesting that the opioid receptor was not involved in the antinociceptive activity of A. katsumadai (Fig.…”

“…Prior to use, the dried A. conchigera rhizome ethanol extract (ACRE) was emulsified using 0.1% Tween 80 in normal saline to the doses of 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg body weight for administration to the animals (Hosseinzadeh et al, 2000). The doses used were based on a previous study using other species of Alpinia (Arambewela et al, 2004).…”

“…In addition, Yu et al (1988) reported that A. conchigera fruits contained anti-inflammatory producing compounds, such as phenylpropanoid derivatives, chavicol acetate, and uegenol acetate. Several species of Alpinia have also been reported to possess different types of pharmacological activities (Fonteles & Leal-Cardoso, 1999;Tewtrakul et al, 2003;Arambewela et al, 2004;Araújo Pinho et al, 2005). The present study investigated the potential antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of the ethanol extract of A. conchigera rhizomes on experimentally induced pain and inflammation, and also aimed to elucidate its mechanisms of action.…”
