Immunomodulatory effects and mechanisms of the extracts and secondary compounds of Zingiber and Alpinia species: a review. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1222195.

Abstract
Zingiber and Alpinia species (family: Zingiberaceae) are popularly used in food as spices and flavoring agents and in ethnomedicine to heal numerous diseases, including immune-related disorders. However, their ethnomedicinal uses have not been sufficiently supported by scientific investigations. Numerous studies on the modulating effects of plants and their bioactive compounds on the different steps of the immune system have been documented. This review aimed to highlight up-to-date research findings and critically analyze the modulatory effects and mechanisms of the extracts and secondary compounds of several Zingiber and Alpinia species, namely, Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Z. cassumunar Roxb., Z. zerumbet (L.) Roscoe ex Sm., Alpinia galanga Linn., A. conchigera Griff, A. katsumadai Hayata, A. oxyphylla Miq., A. officinarum Hance, A. zerumbet (Pers.) Burtt. et Smith, and A. purpurata (Viell.) K. Schum. on the immune system, particularly via the inflammation-related signaling pathways. The immunomodulating activities of the crude extracts of the plants have been reported, but the constituents contributing to the activities have mostly not been identified. Among the extracts, Z. officinale extracts were the most investigated for their in vitro, in vivo, and clinical effects on the immune system. Among the bioactive metabolites, 6-, 8-, and 10-gingerols, 6-shogaol, and zerumbone from Zingiber species and cardamomin, 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate, yakuchinone, rutin, 1,8-cineole, and lectin from Alpinia species have demonstrated strong immunomodulating effects. More experimental studies using cell and animal models of immune-related disorders are necessary to further understand the underlying mechanisms, together with elaborate preclinical pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, bioavailability, and toxicity studies. Many of these extracts and secondary metabolites are potential candidates for clinical development in immunomodulating agents or functional foods to prevent and treat chronic inflammatory disorders.

J Basic Clin Physiol Pharmacol 2020; 31:/j/jbcpp.ahead-of-print/jbcpp-2019-0357/jbcpp-2019-0357.xml.

Abstract
Background Catechin is one of the secondary metabolites in Camellia sinensis L. that is alternatively produced through in vitro cultures. The in vitro culture product is possibly improved by optimizing the culture medium with the addition of growth regulators and precursors. The purpose of this study was to confirm the success of the secondary catechin metabolite production through the in vitro culture of C. sinensis L in a relatively short time. Methods The secondary catechin metabolite product is obtained in about 40 days. The study was conducted by (1) leaf cutting for inoculation in Murashige and Skoog media with 1 μg/mL of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid growth regulator; (2) the inoculation of callus multiplication on the same medium as a partially modified inoculation media condition with the addition of 1 μg/mL of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 2 μg/mL of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid at concentration; (3) callus multiplication developed on a new medium containing phenylalanine precursors (300 μg/mL); (4) testing growth by harvesting the callus and weighing the wet weight of its biomass and (5) identification of the callus qualitatively and quantitatively by using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results The level of secondary catechin metabolite produced was 2.54 μg/mL and 12.13 μg/mL in solid and suspension media, respectively. Conclusions It is concluded that the method is effective and efficient in producing catechin product from C. sinensis L.

Abstract
Bumelia sartorum (Sapotaceae) is used ethnomedicinally for treatment of several diseases, including diabetes mellitus. The aim of this work was to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of B. sartorum extracts, rich in polyphenolic compounds, and the possible mechanisms of action. Assessment of B. sartorum hypoglycemic activity was performed from the blood glucose level in normoglycemic mice after administration of the extract by oral gavage. The hypothesis that sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) inhibition could prolong the increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, thus leading to an increase of insulin release was evaluated. The enzyme inhibition was measured by ATP hydrolysis using SERCA1 isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle. The total content of phenolic compounds was determined by the Folin-Ciocalteau method. The ethyl acetate (EtOAc) partition and F5 fraction obtained from B. sartorum, both of them rich in polyphenolics, were shown to have a hypoglycemic effect on normoglycemic mice, more significant than that of the known antidiabetic drug, glibenclamide used as a standard comparable compound. Both samples significantly inhibited SERCA activity. Different extracts of B. sartorum, rich in polyphenolic compounds, were able to reduce blood glucose in normoglycemic mice and inhibit SERCA activity. SERCA inhibition may be one of the possible mechanisms involved in glucose decrease.
