Abstract

Acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA) is a bioactive compound derived from Alpinia galangal. It is known for anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-cancer, anti-allergic, anti-tuberculosis, antiparasitic and multidrug resistance-modulating effects Present study was undertaken to explore cell suspension culture of Alpinia. galanga for the biosynthesis of ACA. For this purpose salicylic acid, methyl jasmonate and phenylalanine were tested for their ability to enhance ACA production. HPLC analysis revealed that phenylalanine was most effective in producing ACA.
