Abstract

A new menthane-type monoterpene, alpigalanol (1), together with four known terpenes (2–5) were isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the 70 % ethanol extract of the Alpinia galanga rhizomes. The structure of 1 was determined by spectroscopic analyses, including 1D- and 2D-NMR. The extract of the A. galanga rhizomes and all isolated compounds (1–5) possessed Vpr inhibitory activities against the TREx-HeLa-Vpr cells at a concentration of 1.25 μM without showing any cytotoxicity.
