Description
Curator's Comment: The description was created based on several sources, including https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01344538 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24552266 | https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03268655 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28349496

Gingerol (6-Gingerol) is bioactive compound found in ginger (Zingiber officinale) with antioxidant activity, which functions as an anti-inflammatory and antitumor agent. 6-Gingerol has been found to possess anticancer activities via its effect on a variety of biological pathways involved in apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, cytotoxic activity, and inhibition of angiogenesis. Gingerol has been investigated for its effect on cancerous tumors in the bowel, breast tissue, ovaries, the pancreas, among other tissues, with positive results. In phase II clinical trials Gingerol was successfully studied for preventing chemotherapy- induced nausea and vomiting in patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy.

Sample Use Guides

10 mg orally twice daily for 12 weeks.
Route of Administration: Oral
The HUVECs were used for activity evaluation. The HUVECs were cultured in Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum, penicillin (100 mkg/mkL), streptomycin (100 mg/mL) in a 5% carbon dioxide atmosphere at 37C. For each experiment, cells were treated with 6-gingerol (10 mkM) for 1 h and then exposed to MEHP (10, 20, and 40 mkM) for 24 h.
