Product Description: Zingerone (Standard) is the analytical standard of Zingerone. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Zingerone (Vanillylacetone) is a nontoxic methoxyphenol isolated from Zingiber officinale, with potent anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antilipolytic, antidiarrhoeic, antispasmodic and anti-tumor[3] properties[1]. Zingerone alleviates oxidative stress and inflammation, down-regulates NF-κB mediated signaling pathways[2]. Zingerone acts as an anti-mitotic agent, and inhibits the growth of neuroblastoma cells[3].
