This study identified 8-hydroxy germacrene B from Curcuma aeruginosa as a highly potent in-vitro 5-alpha reductase inhibitor with significant anti-androgenic activity, while exhibiting mild cytotoxicity on prostate cancer cells without affecting human dermal papilla cells at tested concentrations.

In this study, different drying methods for Hedychium spicatum rhizomes significantly affected the essential oil yield, antioxidant potential, and compound composition, with the HSOV30 method yielding the highest oil content, antioxidant activity, and specific compound levels such as 1,8-cineole and elemol.

This study found that co-applying Curcuma aeruginosa extract or essential oil with minoxidil significantly increased minoxidil's skin penetration in an ex vivo setting, suggesting an improved topical treatment strategy for androgenic alopecia with greater efficacy and the potential for lower minoxidil doses.

This study identified and characterized eight compounds, including furanocoumarins and pterocarpans, from the aerial parts of Bituminaria basaltica, with β-caryophyllene and germacrene D as main constituents of its essential oil.

This review of Cedrus libani highlights its potential as a source of natural antioxidants and antimicrobials and notes that it may offer analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits; however, further toxicological and clinical studies are necessary to confirm its safety and efficacy for treating human diseases.
