Abstract
Gingerols and the corresponding shogaols are the major pungent compounds present in the rhizomes of fresh and dried ginger (Zingiber officinale), respectively. The compounds have a favourable toxicity profile, but are cytotoxic towards a range of cancer cell lines. Tumours induced in several animal models were successfully treated by gingerols.
