“…GC–MS and LC–MS analyses of organic solvent extracts of A. zerumbet have been variously reported [ 16 , 25 , 59 , 60 , 64 , 70 , 87 , 95 , 96 , 139 , 142 ]. A GC–MS analysis by Kuster et al [ 142 ] revealed the presence of kavalactones, 5,6-dehydrokawain ( 1 ) and 7,8-dihydro-5,6-dehydrokawain ( 2 ) in A. zerumbet leaves.…”

Alpinia zerumbet (Pers.) B.L.Burtt & R.M.Sm is a perennial plant of the Zingiberaceae family widely distributed in the subtropical and tropical areas of South America, Oceania, and Asia. Multiple plant parts of A. zerumbet have been traditionally used as medicinal sources, each with different clinical uses. These variations may arise from differences among the chemical components and/or accumulations of the active compounds in each part. Therefore, this review summarizes previous studies on the phytochemicals in A. zerumbet and reveals the similarities and differences among the chemical constituents of its multiple medicinal parts, including the leaves, rhizomes, fruits, seeds, and flowers. The results contribute to the scientific validation of the traditional understanding that A. zerumbet possesses different medicinal properties in each plant part. In addition, this review provides directions for further studies on the phytochemicals of this plant.
