Abstract

Cardamonin, as shown by the increasing number of publications, has received growing attention from the scientific community due to the expectations toward its benefits to human health. In this study, research on cardamonin is reviewed, including its natural sources, health promoting aspects, and analytical methods for its determination. Therefore, this article hopes to aid current and future researchers on the search for reliable answers concerning cardamonin's value in medicine.

Keywords: 2′,4′-dihydroxy-6′-methoxy-chalcone; Alpinia; InChIKey=NYSZJNUIVUBQMM-BQYQJAHWSA-N; Zingiberaceae; medicinal chemistry.
